    RNS-510 - blown hard disk after 400 miles / 1 week

    Just learned today my RNS-510 unit has to be replaced. About a week after I got the car (approx 400 miles), I turned on the car one day and it was asking me to insert a NAV cd/dvd. In addition the MDI (ipod) input stopped working as well as SD card input. Radio (AM/FM/SAT) continued to...

    DSG on Canadian Passat

    I don't live in Canada, but the DSG is the only automatic mated to the TDI and VR6 engines in the NA B7 Passat. There is nothing to pick on these engines unless you want a manual (which isn't available VR6) The 2.5 only gets a standard automatic (or 5 speed manual). I did notice on the vw.ca...

    SIAP: How do you program the Garage Door Opener?

    I did mine (two separate garage door openers) in about 10 minutes. It's clearly explained in the manual. Just keep in mind that most door openers are rolling code so you will need BOTH the original remote and access to the programming button on the door opener motor.

    Passat Fender Audio Fix @ 6,000 mile Courtesy Check

    Actually, this answer is not 100% correct. The answer depends on when you bought your SEL w/RNS-510 and/or when it was produced. I just got mine last Friday and it had Travel Link already enabled (car was built in Jan.). If you got yours sometime before December you probably don't have Travel...

    Ten new Volkswagen Passats wrecked after rail car derails in Chattanooga

    See Askavwsalesguy's page http://askavwsalesguy.com/. Its all there. Pretty much only TDI SE's are being made right now. No SEL's because of SEL seat shortage

    Just curious, why so many black TDI Passats to be found?

    Pretty much every dealer got one or two of these back in late summer as demo cars. Now they are for sale.

    2012 passat TDI automatic downshifts while descending

    Sounds like it's what's known as the DSG freewheel function: ..."The 6-speed dual clutch transmission 02E in the 2012 Passat has a freewheel function. The purpose of the freewheel function is to isolate the engine from the gearbox in overrun, opening the dual clutch. The engine turns at idling...

    Just ordered a new Passat

    What did you order SE or SEL? There is now a hold on all SEL (TDI, I5 or V6) orders due to a leather seat constraint. Right now the factory is only processing TDI SE orders

    Passat SEL leather restriction ??

    Like me, I would gather your order is ok. They probably have just enough supply for orders already in. The problem will be with new orders input this month.

    Passat SEL leather restriction ??

    Maybe a supplier problem with dynamica inserts as well. This seems to affect all SEL's though for Jan. the factory is only processing TDI orders which in this case will be SE only. I guess they have enough SEL seats for some orders this month because I'm supposed to be getting mine sometime...

    Hillhold sucks

    Don't blame Ross tech. These OS's aren't even supported by Microsoft anymore. Might be time to invest in a new computer.
