Re: Stop/Start Restart Triggers

I have had a reply elsewhere and I understand that this has been part of the system for some time. It would seem to require adaptive cruise control as it uses the same sensors.

Stop/Start Restart Triggers

I have a December 2019 150hp diesel manual saloon which comes with start/stop. I had understood that the engine would restart when the clutch was depressed ready to select a gear to move off and it certainly does this. But I have recently noticed when following another vehicle that the engine will r...

Re: Trip mileage resets itself every day

Re the trip mileage resetting. Try pressing the button between the up and down ones. On my newer B8 there are three selections, since start, since refuel, and another I have forgotten.

Re: Hello there

To work on the electric operated rear brakes you will need to wind them back. A google search should tell you how to do this.

Re: Wireless Charging and SD Slot

It would seem that there is no SD slot in the SEL version - anyone know of the other versions? My local dealer who supplied my car is discussing with VW. Will report back what they tell me.

Wireless Charging and SD Slot

I have just got my 2019 SEL saloon Passat. Brochure states that all models are fitted with wireless charging and SD card reader as standard. Mine has neither. Could others please check and report back here. Thanks in anticipation.

2019 Passat Diesel Engine Code

My new 2019 facelifted 150 diesel Passat appears to have an engine which has a code 'DSR A' according to the data sticker. Can anyone provide details of this engine - it does not seem to be in the handbook nor does it come up on a Google search.

Don't think you will get the owners manual into the drop down box. It will not even take my phone!. The socket or lead allows the connection of phone - I have mine connected via USB connector.

Re: 2019 Vw Passat Mid Cycle Fresh

New brochure and price list now available but I note that many of the models, especially diesel, are price TBA, presumably due to the new EU testing requirements.

You can then scroll through and select AM; FM and DAB which will provide details of sign...
