Hi everyone,
I'm posting this thread as I'm hoping it may help others. When I initially bought my VW MFD-D Sat Nav and retrofitted it into my Passat B5, I was sad to see that it gave the error "unable to read disc".
So I tried many things, firstly I bought a genuine disc secondhand off of...
Hi Guys,
My VW passat B6 (2007) both rear calipers have failed. Rubber case has worn off and dust into the pistons making it very hard to retract fully. Because of this the car was slow to drive cause the brakes cannot fully retract after deploying and sort of holding on to the discs. So I went...

Hi,
I have recently bought a VW Passat Highline 2004 TDI 1.9 model. I really like it.

My OEM CD player is showing "CD Err" on all 6 discs in the changer. They were skipping incessantly for a few days, now they've stopped working, will work for an hour or so, then go back to the same thing.
I did a search and tried a few things that I gathered from them:
1) Cleaned the inside...
I want to replace the front discs on my 99 1.8T B5 and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a brand / supplier to supply discs and pads. I don't race so don't need top of the line slotted drilled disc's but do want a high quality everyday disc / pad combination
Thanks

I am currently using the OEM Nav System Version G with the 10 map CD's and was wondering if there was a way to get updated discs with a better display, more updated maps, or even a way to get all the maps consolidated onto 1 disc?
The maps look like they were drawn in crayon by a 5 year old and...

My first set went 50k, then I switched to Mintex Redbox pads on OE rotors and I got 25k and shiteloads of dust. Can someone recommend a good place to buy replacement rotors and the lowest dust pads you can get ? Also how hard is it to diy ? Are there special tools ?
Thanks
