Purchased a 2015 Passat TDI with a bad engine. Getting things going again after it sat for about a year. The radio will not work like many others I see and thought the update might be worth a shot. VW 3C0 035 684 N HW:H26. SW:5378 on the radio. Thanks, Dave.
I am looking to sell my 2000 Jetta TDi, Manual transmission as a project car. It is still a strong auto however, the comfort control module is causing electrical problems with the locks and draining the battery.
Please help.
Thank you.
