Hey all.
My niece just picked up a 2012 Passat SEL Premium TDI. I'm not nearly as familiar with these as the ALH-vintage cars, so I have a couple questions.
- Her 510 radio/bluetooth/nav cuts off randomly, according to her. I'm guessing the firmware update I've read about will fix this.

No additives other than when I first got the car 15 years ago with about 95k on the clock. I'm just careful where I buy fuel, only getting it at truck stops or other places that sell a lot of fuel.

Hey all,
I noticed this morning on my way to work that my odometer has quit ticking up. A quick search on this forum tells me that I've reached the limit of the 16-bit counter (1 million km's). Is there a way with VAG-COM to get around this? This thing is my daily driver and I'd like to...

My 16 yr old daughter just bought an '01 Golf TDI as her first car. Told her that if she takes care of it, it'll last her...
Resurrecting an old thread, but I've had similar issues in the past that have reared their ugly head this week.
'03 Jetta TDI. The pivot has fallen out of my airbox 2-3 times over the years, and I've learned that it's an easy fix. Stand on my head, reach in through the driver's side and pop...
