UKPassats

Thanks for the responses. I was wondering if it needs flushing again and more thoroughly. Not sure if that's something I can do as a DIY? I'm worried there if there is still some silica left in the system and so with the new matrix it'll just slowly block that one also. If you are losing heating on...

If you've done the climatronic reset, then it could be remnants of silikate still in the coolant

Hi all, I've been the proud owner of my 2016 b8 Passat for a number of years and never skipped a beat. However the last few months have started to take its toll. After a recent service, it was identified that the silica bag in the coolant reservoir split and blocked the heater matrix. I was experie...

Can you PM me the link to the camera you bought? I just want to check the information you are getting from RossTech forum is correct when he's saying you've fitted the wrong camera

Turn on the coding for the park button again, then do another autoscan. Ignore the fault for no basic setting, that's a calibration required as I mentioned earlier in this thread. As long as your adapter is genuine and not a clone, post the results on Ross tech site, they should be able to pinpoint ...

Theres definitely something missing from your coding.

Did you only enable optional equipment fitted to the car? If you've enabled all of it and doesn't have it, it can cause issues

Did you let the car go to sleep after carrying out the programming? Mine didn't behave right the first time, but alter i left it to go make my tea, when i came back to it an hour later, everything worked. Did you ensure the orange canbus wires are connected ok in the splitter supplied, and to the co...

What unit do you have?

@mrderv you wouldn't happen to have the pinouts for the cabling for the back of the unit? I think the only wire I need clarification for is the red/white. Am I right to say this is 12v? Also camera side, I have a brown and purple in the loom. I am guessing this is for the boot release, but I have t...

If you mean the plastic belt cover, its not. The crank seal sits behind the toothed wheel on the crank

I bought the highline unit Sent from my SM-S908B using Tapatalk Ok this is what you will need. Once its all done, turn the car off, lock and leave for 20 minutes so the modules can power off fully. I didn't do this step and thought the coding was wrong, but it just needed to sleep so it could boot ...

OK, did you buy the highline or lowline camera?

Sure, i'll dig out the guidance i used for the programming, its on my laptop at home, so i'll post it up here later.

What brand did you replace with? I see the Exide battery is the cheapest. They used to be good quality years ago. Yeah Tayna looks great value but i could get hit with import taxes due to brexit. I’ll contact them and find out. I noticed today that my stop start works but after about 10 secs or so ...

Depends what engine.

For instance, if its the cambelt side of the crank on the TDI, its just a seal, no cover or housing.

Thanks ! I have VCDS so i should be able to code it. I live in Ireland. Some of the qoutes here for AGM batteries are eye watering. Funnily enough the start stop is still working fine however the system mustn’t be recognising the battery is faulty which is surprising. At traffic lights today the st...

My 2017 was on the original battery up until November last year. Got mine from Tayna, cheaper than anywhere else online, including EuroCarPrats (with added discount code). 6.5 years is good going IMO Don't forget, you'll need to code in the new battery to reset the charge characteristics. If you are...

This is the one i bought: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004526981246.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.46.491d1802UTtmGm Its genuine OEM cos VCDS can communicate with it, Quality is good, however, it will need calibrating if the image looks a little skewed (slightly tilted), this can b...

While I've not fitted one to a saloon, I did it on my estate. Routing the wiring was the difficult bit of the job, but as long as you have a discover media or pro, then you can programme it with VCDS to accept it. If you have the earlier connect media unit, it's not compatible. I got my highline cam...

I just use the Sat Nav screens as installed in the Passat and yes I did pay for a further 2 years to enable it to continue to receive data and updates - the maps are updated regularly. I find the traffic info pretty accurate. It is not via a connected mobile. if you don't use the traffic info, I wo...

I'm getting traffic info in the traffic menu, i don't have a subscription. I think it picks up the data from FM RDS.

Doesn't show busy roads on the sat nav though, I use google nav on android auto instead

But is this just a computer switch or is the purchasing of a code necessary, do you know?
Cheers.

Have a look at the link. You'll need PC and a blank SD card for them to do the work. No cable or coding necessary, they do all that.

You're in luck! Yorkshire VAG Solutions can do it remotely for £80. No replacement of the unit necessary.

mrderv, Thank you for replying! I thought that may be the case . . . Silly question:- I have a VCDS cable (bought for a T6.1 campervan) and can make amendments to the can-bus computer. Is this simply a computer tweak or do I have to buy the CarPlay software (by way of an enablement code)? I'll go g...
