Re: 1.6 tdi passat juddering around 70mph dmf?

Heavy clutch, has it had a replacement?
Mine judders at low revs, unmodified and un-Vw-broke.

Re: Vehicle cutting out when pulling away

I've had this a few times on my un-"fixed" 1.6 since getting it - just occasionally, maybe once a month, it feels like an off-boost old style Diesel from the early 1990s. Dip the clutch and more revs and it seems fine until the next time. No pattern I can detect such as a cold engine, weat...

Re: Should it stay or should it Go ?

Thanks for replies, I've been on-site for a few days so not able to take a look until a quick trip home last night and tonight. Food for thought, Its a difficult choice. Another factor (as mentioned in the replies) is that I know the car and what issues it has, whereas changing means maybe inheritin...

Should it stay or should it Go ?

Sad to say it after just posting about VAG-COM etc, I'm pondering getting rid of the Passat. The Passat in question is my 2014 1.6 TDi Exec manual. I can't say in it's current form I look forward to driving it, but I don't mind driving it either. Its a little bit like my washing machine - it does th...

VAG-COM PAS Adjustable ?

I have treated myself to VAG-COM and would like to adjust the PAS to be lighter (yeah I know, I work in an office and never go near a gym...)

Is this doable ? I've found instructions for Golfs.

Re: Hard wiring dash cam - earth point?

I have a 402G (needs replacing soon maybe) hard wired into mine. The bolt to the right of the fusebox near the wing is find for an earth. I can't remember the fuse number I used - I just pulled fuses until my phone charger went off from the accessory socket. Attached is a photo of the fusebox. I pus...

Re: 11 million VWs under review?

So why just people that bought their cars during or after October 2014? Surely people that bought earlier affected cars new or nearly new were more likely to have considered emissions? MQB platform cars were about then and not longer used the EA189 engines after this date, so it inclueds some peopl...

Re: Miles per gallon

Happy with the MPG on mine (1.6) - low of 53, highest of 69 using brim to brim method. Most are between 55 and 58 in my daily use - mostly suburban with some bypass driving - usually 55-65 MPH max due to traffic. Tank range has only been under 800 miles once and has nudged 850+ on a couple of times ...

Re: Key Not Unlocking

Thanks for the reply.

To clarify the symptom is that the spare doesn't lock/unlock at all (new battery, red light flashes on the key).

The same spare works when inserted into the key slot - radio, instruments etc. all turn on, engine starts fine.

Key Not Unlocking

Hi,

I thought the spare key battery had gone so I replaced it but it now no longer locks or unlocks the doors.

Maybe it just needs coding, is there a simple process to do this ?

Thanks
