Re: Oil interval concerns
Specific to diesels …. If the regen cycle for the Dpf is cut short due to short runs, this can affect the oil performance…extra fuel is added when a regen is carried out, excess fuel can make its way into the sump… My take on it is you do a lot of short journeys then frequent oil changes are of the ...

Re: Detachable tow bar
I fitted my own, got the kit from PF Jones.
My local Indy VAG mechanics did the coding for me.
Cost me less than £520 all in…inc the dedicated wiring kit….

Re: Got P023400 error
P0234 relates to boost pressure…. Ideally it would be great if you could capture live data during the fault condition….in the hope of pin pointing the cause. Otherwise it’s going to be a process of elimination to determine why it is occurring….could be a faulty pressure sensor….or it could be a turb...

Re: DSG or Manual
My 2019 Passat est is the 190Rline with a DSG box and wheel mounted paddles….. I find it easier to drive than it’s predecessor that I owned(140bhp manual 6 speed…) and great for towing! With the caravan hitched up, into cruise at 60 on a motorway, what more could you want? It’s great. Yes the servic...

B8 keyless stop start sequence
Does anyone have access to any documentation or links on the keyless stop start sequence on the B8 ?
Mine failed to start the other day….just kept cranking….then eventually started without issue.
So I’m looking to see what could cause this….
