Re: B8 towbars, will a B7 towbar fit?
I haven't specifically measured or tried, but I doubt it as it's a different/new platform.

Re: Coolant fan remains on
The fan staying on happened just before the water pump failed on mine, no water loss though.

Re: Passat B7 estate towbar fitting guide
And another update, the company I'm doing the training with have said that the examiners are aware that some CANBUS systems don't have a buzzer and this isn't a problem!

Re: Passat B7 estate towbar fitting guide
Just as a quick follow up to this, specifically the Westfalia trailer electrics module (which PFJones told me was VW OEM). The westfalia module does not give a warning light or buzzer to show that the indicators are working properly, instead it uses the bulb failure system to say when it isn't worki...

When I open the boot normally (ie with the button in the number plate recess) instead of it doing a single click as it releases it clicks repeatedly and quickly for 2-3seconds; but it releases the boot catch so y...

Hello
Hi I bought a b7 estate back in November to replace a seat exeo as we needed more space.
No real plans for it, fitted a towbar already and have done a fitting guide on the b7 section.
Have vagcom (but little experience with it) if anyone desperately needs help in the Tonbridge/Sevenoaks area.

Re: Passat B7 estate towbar fitting guide
I had a battle with it too. Remove the luggage tie down points, and then the seat release catch by moving the cable outer from its seat, then pulling the head out of the fixing.

Passat B7 estate towbar fitting guide
I recently bought a 2012 Passat B7 estate for family and towing duties and, as I've done in the past have fitted the towbar myself. I couldn't find a decent guide to show fixing positions etc., so thought I'd do one. Sorry the photos aren't great, most were taken as prompts for me rather than for a ...

Re: New gearbox fitted now car pulls to the left
Could well have released the track rod ends off to remove the drive shafts.
