Came to vehicle yesterday and car started fine but clock and mileage trip /range etc had reset to zero . Anybody come across this before ?

Hello All, I'm new here so please be gentle, so I have a Passat (Shock) B6 2.0TDI 2008. Whilst she drives lovely, and the suspension feels normal. She's decided to develop a noise recently, upon going over rough terrain I can here what sounds like saucepans crashing and banging together (No I do not have a saucepan set in the boot) now from what I can see the suspension components look fine, and as mentioned I don't feel a difference in the suspension and also the handling. I have a theory MAYBE it could be an exhaust hanger has packed it's self in. However, before I become a contortionist I'd like to know if there is a typical "common fault" that would per…

Hi, I need advice. I bought alloys from Audi A6 c8 . Size 8.5Jx19 ET40. If they will be fit to my Passat B8 2015? If yes, what size of tyres, I need put on them. Thanks. Raf

I own a 2010 vw passat, I have 2 car keys for this car, On one key the car opens but does'nt lock, the other key locks but does'nt open....How can i fix this ?

Hi, hope someone can help me with this one. I have a 2018 2.0l TDI Passat with a DSG box. The service intervals are set to fixed servicing. The problem is, I am getting no where near a year or the 10k miles. It is currenty asking for a service at around 6 to 7k miles. Can I get this changed to flexible serving and use long life oil? I do roughly about 15k per year with mixed driving. Cheers

Hi - when turning a corner yesterday there was a slight noise from steering column area and all the steering wheel electrical controls failed - air bag light error, no horn, no computer control, no stereo volume control. I assume this is a fuse blown but which one and where?? And any ideas on what might have caused this fault? The rest of the car works fine..

This is a long shot, but I just discovered my late Grandad's 2004 Passat estate (AF54 WPL) is still on the road via gov.uk with over 200,000 miles on the clock! He bought it brand new in 2004 and it was his pride and joy. I remember the first time he turned up to my parents' house in it and he spent ages showing me round. He died in 2007 and my Grandma sold it shortly afterwards. If the owner happens to stumble across this post and is ever thinking about selling I would love to take it off you. I'm very sentimental like that 😁

What do I do? Diagnostic show Shift Solenoid “D” performance/Stuck off error code P0766

Is it hard to replace thrust bearing

Hi all, can anyone tell me the size of the torx for the front strut pinch bolt please, mine are rounded off from previous owner. Thankyou.

Hello all, just changed the anti roll bar bushes, swapped to poly, I was led to believe only 1 nut was flanged on each bracket, turns out both nuts on each bracket are flanged, bit of a pig of a job room wise.

Changed abs sensors and cleaned codes. Drive and hit breaks and lights up on dash flashing and abs. Put back on diagnostic machine still saying left rear abs. Plus breaks at front sound like they scraping. Can anybody assist. Me please

Hi all new here, just seeing how many passats came with optional built in child seats in base of rear seats

VW Passat Estate B6 As the MOT was due soon, I decided to check all the brake pads. The front had plenty of wear left although the wear limit warning cable had broken, so I ‘snipped’ it off as it was not part of any management system other than a warning on the dash. I will replace the front pads when necessary, complete with its wear limit warning cable. The rear pads were quite worn, so I decided they needed attention. I replaced the rear pads and drove quite happily for a couple of days using the electric handbrake where needed. I then drove to a local post box and had to apply the handbrake as I was on a slope but on returning to the car, the hand…

Needs to fit new battery to my 2014 Alltrack any advice please ie problems I may encounter like loosing memory of radio or others.

Hi, anyone have a part number for a front anti roll bar for a passat b6 2009 2.0 TDI, thankyou.

Vw passat b5 passenger side impact sensor. Wet under carpet when I removed seat but no corostion in plug . Diagnostics say fault permanent. Is that loom to sensor damaged or sensor itself. Don't really know what permanent means to be honest. Any ideas. Cheers

The connection on the turbo boost hose to the intercooler has failed again. The x2 holding lugs to the intercooler connection clip does not hold the hose in position. This is the third hose failure which happens around every 50,000mls. Is there an upgraded clip or other modification available?

My passat has trouble opening the central locking. The garage replaced key 12 months ago. The key has now intermittently stopped unlocking ( locks ok) but I can unlock it using the other key. a garage reported that the alternate key had failed yo unlock for him . he used the backup method of opening the door. The new key cost £400 + service charge to register it to the car. Is this a common problem? any DIY method of fixing?

Knocking over bumps,new hangers all round,spring rubbers silicones,still have knocking cheers
