Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Windscreen Wiper Blade Change

    Hi All,

    I'm going to ask a stupid question. How do you change the windscreen wiper blades on the B8 Passat?

    When I try to lift the Wiper arm, the bonnet gets in the way.

    Any help would be great, as I'm sure there is a simple solution.

    Thanks

    It probably tells you in that seldom read book in your glovebox that there is a service position that you turn ign off while wipers are moving to allow you to do that.

    It certainly does in both of mine

        Once you have switched off the ignition, flick the wiper stalk for a single sweep. The wipers will stop in the "service" position.
        Cheers

          In mk5 Jetta, pulling wiper stalk down immediately after turning off ignition places blades in service position. May be different, but worth a try.
