Re: Car Insurance for PASSAT

I'd be happy for any help.
I'm 30, been driving for 9yrs.
Had one speeding offence Jan 2014, SP30.
Never had to make a claim
Married
House owner
Car would be parked on one way street out my house.

Glad to hear others are getting what I'd consider a fair price.

Re: Car Insurance for PASSAT

That's quite good bertc. Whose that with? Comparison sites arent really helping. Direct Line wanted over £2k which is probably more than double what the car is worth.
Think I may call & haggle. 😊

Car Insurance for PASSAT

The cheapest quote I can find for a VW PASSART 2.0 TDI (06 plate) is £750.

How difficult is it to fix yourself? I'm a complete novice .. :sad:

Re: Cigarette lighters not working

Thanks, this is with reference to a 55 plate saloon.
I followed the log book and located the fuses on the driver side (Door open). I didn't realize there was another compartment.

Cigarette lighters not working

Neither the front dash or rear lighters work which is a nuisance for long journeys and not being able to use satnav.
Both fuses seem fine, so what else could be causing this issue ?

Thanks

Re: Boot lock mechanism problem

I also have a temperamental boot locking mechanism. The cold winter weather seems to affect it more. I've not actually looked into getting it resolved but would also appreciate some responses on here.

Loss of Power, EML Coolant draining quick

My parents VW 2.0 (55 Plate) Passat has a couple of issues, possibly related. There is a loss of power when accelerating but today it the speed cut down to 15mph, then it started to pickup again.
