    Can heater/a/c controls be exchanged?

    Thank you all for the input. I really didn't understand your replies, but I believe the short answer is NO, it can't be done easily, or by my husband (who is highly capable, but this isn't worth it) Bummer, because I really liked the a/c in the '12 versus the '15.... On a positive note...

    Can heater/a/c controls be exchanged?

    Hello- I am getting ready to turn in my 2012 Passat TDI SE 6MT, and have already purchased a 2015 Passat TDI SE DSG. I really like the climate control in the 2012 compared to the 2015. The 2012 came standard with dual climatronic which my 2015 doesn't have. Does anyone know if I can swap...

    Best Rubber Floor Mats?

    I bought Husky floorliners and cargo mat before I got my Passat because I didn't order the Monster mats with the car, but they included them anyway. The Husky liners are similar to the WeatherTech digital fit. I have the Weathertech in my 11 Subaru Forester, and they have a "bubble" on the...

    What are you guys paying for your 2012 Passat

    Hello- I ordered my 2012 Passsat TDI SE 6MT Night blue/cornsilk on April 14 as no dealerships in the great northeast (or mostly the eastern seaboard) had any manual transmissions on the lot, or I didn't want the color available (usually that tungsten silver color). The car was assembled on...
