Re: LED DRLs
I had some brilliant ones in another car from hids direct. Used resistors to cancel the errors. Might be worth having a look. On my b8 I've not bothered though..

Re: Fault reader
I don't think vcds for £40 will be genuine. I've a Bluetooth elm 327 reader that works with apps like torque or carista and will read some codes.

Re: Anyone do any cool mods with VCDS?
Any pictures of the clocks?
I've used carista to turn on a few things such as fog lights as coming/leaving home rather than main beam which is less offensive when locking/unlocking the car.

Re: 2017 sat nav and postcodes.
When do postcodes cover more than one Street? As above when you go to enter town click on the bottom to change your postcode.

Re: Thule WingBar / WingBar Edge
I've got them on my estate. The rubber strip is all chewed up from carrying Canoes on the roof. Really thin at the edges and very poor quality for what's supposed to be premium

Re: High idle 16tdi b8
If it's on finance you can reject a car. It's a long process but good to know as a last resort.
Try a different VW dealer if possible or getting on to head office if your dealer is being difficult

Re: High idle 16tdi b8
Guessing this isn't a one off as I'd suggest dpf. Could be the temperature, does it drop when the cars been run for a bit? Likely within VW tolerance but I'd keep pushing that it's not right.

Re: Corner turning fog lights and remote mirror folding
I'm sure it could be done with vcds or even the carista app and a Bluetooth dongle

Re: Mileage
I have a 2017 B8 Passat Estate GT with the digital dash where the sat-nav map can be displayed between the dials. There are various settings on what else can be displayed but I can't find a way to show the mileage on the bottom row where it currently shows the trip odometer - surely there's a simpl...

Nobody in their right mind should voluntarily use one of these insidious devices. Once the powers concerned get them forced onto us all you can say goodbye to any joy in driving and costs will just go up and up. Frankly if you choose to use one youre a traitor to your fellow motorists. If youre a g...

Re: Wind noise
God I hate noise. Mine has a rattle. They've suggested seat belt tensioner but can't find the rattle to fix it.
I have roofbars on mine so can't help really. Nothing stuck in the rails or sunroof is there?

Re: Dataplug
Are people actually using these? I got one from the AA last year and all it did was tell me off [emoji23]
Removed it as I couldn't see the benefit of it certainly considering all the data that was being collected about me.

Carista help
Anyone using carista with a B8 Passat? I think I've managed to turn off cornering lights but can't find the option to turn it back on. In fact lights only has one option that won't work. Is it my app / code reader that's at fault or can others only see one option? Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Ta...

Re: Boot won’t open
Not a great deal of help but there's normally an emergency release from inside. Should be in the manual how to access it. Is it possible something has got caught in the mechanism?

Me, me well kind of. Got a Passat and sometimes use Waze on android auto. Need to get into the routine of having it on to be honest as it's useful for traffic updates.
