Re: Retractable towbar
The button is inside the boot. On the right next to the lever that drops the seats down.

Re: Mode button on 2016 GT doesn’t do anything
On my wife’s A3 you can change driving modes but it doesn’t really do anything other than cause the DSG box to use lower gears. On my Passat GT with DCC, Dynamic steering and DSG the mode button is useful as it changes the characteristics of suspension, steering and gear changes. I think the usefuln...

Re: Retractable towbar
I have the retractable towbar on my b8 estate, its ace. I ordered it as a factory option. At the time i was also looking at second hand Passats, the VW dealer offered to fit the retractable tow bar to the car i test drove, i think it was going to cost about 1200. Have a look under your rear bumper t...

Re: Tim's B8 R-Line
I don’t normally like the look of black wheels, but i agree those Areton wheels do really suit, much better than the Audi rotors or the OEM R-line wheels.

Re: 2016 Passat Estate GT sunroof rattles
Mine does this sometimes. I find slightly opening and then closing the roof cures it for the rest of the journey at least.

Re: B8 Service Schedule
Thanks @percy247 I purchased the Haynes (its online only now). Worth having - good tip. Cost easily offset by using local independent rather than main dealer. In case anyone else needs to know the recommended 40k/4year service includes pollen filter, DSG oil change and new filter and spark plugs. Pr...

B8 Service Schedule
I have a 2018 B8 Passat GT 2.0 TSI. I elected for the variable service schedule, so after 3.5 years and 37k miles its had two oil changes done by VW main dealer. It’s asked for another oil change today. I am tempted to take it to a reputable local garage and request full service, abandon the variabl...

Re: B8 Driving mode selection
I have a 2018 GT 2.0 TSI and this has driver mode selection as standard. The 2.0 TSI comes with Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) as standard, so it might be related to that... it this is accessible via the single driver mode button. Push the button and you can select the profile from the central touchs...
