My highway commute the last two days resulted in an average of 44mpg. Speeds were reduced on the Maine Turnpike to 45 and based I conditions I could not make any more than 60 mph on the Mass. Pike. Basically if we want great mileage in the winter, we just have to slow down.

You paid too much. Mine was $600. Done at 37,000 miles.

I hate to always be the wet blanket so I won't be this time.

I just had surgery, but the thing I had work done on, I only have one of.

Front wheel bearings replaced at 36,800 If you think your front end is making noise, chances are it really is your wheel bearings. Front left and right bearings replaced under Fidelity Warranty at 36,800 mi. Get in to your dealer before 36,000.

Combined on the Jetta and Passat. Jetta had 60k+ when traded for the Passat which now has 33k. Jetta was assembled in Mexico, Passat in Chattanooga. I guess that was my old advertising background creeping in. No intent to deceive, just obfuscating to add interest and excitement.

The RO states: "Replaced left front door latch and Bowden Cable." All I know now is that it works.

With my Jetta and Passat combined miles of over 90K this is the first time I could not drive my car to work. I could not get in the driver's side door. It would not unlock from inside the car, the handle would not open it from outside, the key fob had no effect on it. Like the 66 year old...

Prime VW Saco, ME installed my Bold-Sport camera kit. Cost about $300.00 + $199 for the parts. Works great. Thanks for the great info in this thread.

Thanks. Very helpful.

Thanks. I am going with the Bold-Sport. I like the camera in the trunk handle and the simplicity of installation compared to the Echomaster.

Can you provide part number for the Boldsport complete Passat install kit?

I am talking about the Echomaster Factory Connect System for 2009-2012 VW. Any info you have would be great. (Link above from OP.)

And...how and where do you mount the backup camera at the rear of the Passat?

I downloaded the instruction sheet for this installation and must admit it leaves a lot to be desired for me anyway. Do you have to make solder connections to install this mod, or is it completely plug and play?

I keep a small container of powered dish washing machine detergent in my glove box. When it rains just put a few sprinkles of powder on your windshield. You will be amazed at how well your wipers will work to keep the window streak free. (Just a few granules, don't pour it on.) This is the...

My Hankooks are in storage and will go back on before trade-in. I am running Toyos. I run all seasons for summer, and I have winter tires on now. The all season tires just feel a little vague to me, not sure what is causing that. The winter tires have a very good feel and ride.

I agree with Consumer Reports. My Passat has be flawless in every possible way. :)

Why don't you dispense with the B99 fill for a few tanks and see what happens. To correctly trouble shoot this change only one thing at a time. BTW, never had this issue. It would freak me out a little too.

I had none of the problems you are talking about in my 2010 Jetta with RNS-510. So it has to be something they messed with in the version in the Passat. The RNS-315 in my Passat SE works very well.
