I'm in the same place mate. I was originally looking at the Pioneer App Radio as it Mirrors your phone. Has built in bluetooth etc. I will go the RNS route. Check this page it ill give you a comparison of the various OEM Radios http://www.my-gti.com/719/differences-between-the-volkswagen-rcd-210-rcd...

Thanks for that Rich

What version of software would it have to be do avoid the battery drain issue?

You don't have one do you?

I'm trying to locate one but the only one i can fine is from china which is slightly damaged.

If it has C at the end , it cannot be Q revision . Stay away . You do not need exactly Q , but minimum E . So any gateway : E, M, N ,Q etc will do the job. :-bd Would this one be ok? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261336588008?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Do i disconnect my bat...

Glad to hear it mate.

It makes my blood boil when things like that happen.

You work to get a nice car and some tw*t ruins it.

All the best with the DSG fella.

Have you decided to keep yours then mate? How's the DSG and bonnet?

Sorry to bring up sore subjects

I like to look at it as a glass half full. :wink: These forums will always show the more negative as people join them because of a problem. How many passats were sold over the world and how many had issues. Don't get me wrong VW's aren't what they used to be but every manufacturer have their share o...

I found my log book today.

I have the BKP engine code so no DPF.

Happy days!

Thanks for your input guys.

Easy ladies.

It was only a question.

I've had a good read of a few threads and it seems bar full enough.

With older diesels you could run them on vegetable oil!

When i turn on the ignition a DPF light does not come on.

I guess i'm lucky not to have it.

I don't do long journeys so no near of it blocking it up.

Look like i'm gonna get me some 2T to try.

That light doesn't come on when I turn on the ignition

I'll have to dig my log book out and check.

So I can use a bit of 2t oil then?

How do I know if my car has one?

It's a 56 plate 2.0tdi 140bhp

I'm told it's the older engine with the injector issues.

They were replaced under recall in 2012.

I've been reading the thread about 2t oil and I didn't want to do it if it was going to cause me problems.

Thanks

I think I might have to give this a go.

I'm pretty sure my car doesn't have a dpf so i should be ok?

If it does can I still do it or not?

When I turn on my ignition I don't get a dpf light come on.

I'd have gone matt black.

I needed to demist my screen last night and was annoyed that my heater control flap was not working. So I had a spare 30mins and decided to have a go. I removed the bottom steering cowl. To do this you have to lower the steering column and gently pry the top section away. Then unscrew 1 underneath t...

You must have a very sore a*se mate.

That low on coilovers and a strecth that much.

Nice car though.

I'd go black on the wheels.

As the title says, is this possible.

It's from an 09 vehicle.

Looking at a few you tube videos it should be fairly straight forward.

Thanks mate.

Hi guys are the b5, b5.5 and b6 gaitors all the same?

I need a new one for my b6 and there is an ebay link saying they will fit both?

Does this sound right?

Thanks

Dan

I'm in the same boat. Thought I'd have a little nose and check my can bus no. As suspected it is Version C. I'll have to get an updated one when I get my rns. Now I can't get the Bowden cable back in place. I've left it out for now as I don't have the patience. Plus it'll come out again soon when I ...

Snow foam is awesome. Although your only supposed to use certain brands on a well waxed car. As you can see in my sig I love the stuff. What brand and applicator did you use? I just got some stufff of ebay to be honest. It's not that foamy. When i run out ill look into it and get some better stuff....

Yep def 17"

Im prett y sure the golf had a pcd of 5 x 100 as opposed to the passat with 5 x 112 you might have to get some adapters?

Not sure about the pcd though.

Just checked this site.
http://www.wheelfitment.eu/car/Volkswagen/
The golf pcd is 38 and the passat 45.

Hop you get it sorted.

I thought u were selling up mate?

Decided to stick with it?
