Hi all, With everything going on I'm struggling to get to a dealer myself to measure the height of the boot opening for a Passat GTE (Hybrid Estate) - do any owners on here have one that could help me out? Accept my apologies if I've posted this to the wrong section! Cheers guys!

I am new to the forum as I have a problem that I am struggling to resolve. Last week I started the car and drove it about 1/2 mile total. It had been standing for about 4 weeks. Started up and everything seemed to work. The car was left unlocked as the alarm occasionally goes off for no reason...

Looking forward to opening a technical discussion

Hi I will try and post this twice here and then maybe I need to do it somewhere else. Not sure how this works.

I've had my B7 estate for 3 years, 53,000 miles and I love it. However earlier this week while driving the open boot alert appeared on the dash and the interior light came on. I pulled over, opened and shut the boot. After a few minutes it happened again. Then it started doing it repeatedly...

Hi guys, Yesterday, whilst driving my 2004 B5.5 estate, the door open light came on, along with the beep and the 'Luggage Compartment Open' message on the dash. I stopped and checked and it was closed securely and the light went off. Whilst driving home, the light etc. came on again a couple...

Looks like I have damaged the clip that holds the rear load cover in place when it is extended. Have searched google and cannot find anything about repairing or replacing it. Went to the main dealers, they told me it needed the whole boot side panel trim to be replaced - £200 for the part. The...

Merry Christmas. The tailgate on my 2006 Passat Estate won't completely shut. It will shut and stay closed but it is loose and the MFD shows the tailgate is open. It has about a 1/2 of play in it. It will open with the driver's door switch, fob and tailgate handle. I've removed all the interior...
