    I have a 2014 Passat TDi SEL with 124k. I was getting bored and decided to check prices on used BMW Diesel vehicles. For those of you that have driven both, what are the pros/cons of BMW Diesels (330d/535d) compared to Passat Diesels? Would it be worth it to switch to BMW? What do you give up...

    Aftermarket LED headlights

    They are low beams. Take into account that the car is in an incline. Sure, they seem to illuminate a little higher, but so far, after 3 days of use, I got no complaints, and I drive about 1h in dark/darkish country roads with plenty of traffic.

    Aftermarket LED headlights

    It’s just a lightbulb that is a replacement for the original H7 bulb. No wires, no adapters, nothing. The only issue with those light bulbs is that, like all H7 for a B7 Passat, is a lot of trouble to replace due to lack of space, just like an original H7 halogen/incandescent bulb.

    Cold weather Hello, Mine seems to refuse to open on cold weather, like early winter mornings or late at night. Or when parked in the shade on cold days. It’s annoying, and the dealership has told me that nothing is wrong, but they can replace some parts for $$$ My solution is to keep the...

    2014 Passat with DSG

    I have a 2014 with 120k. My local dealer has European mechanics that learned diesels in Germany, and always treat my baby right. The only problem I has was the “fix”: now is very difficult to even get 730 miles in one tank when before 800 miles was pretty easy. What’s this deauto led you talk...

So which tires do you recommend for NC? (lots of rain...
