New Passat 206TSI R-Line

Looks great!

Does the sub wire into the stock head unit? Where is the amp for it?

Bummer! My month old 206TSI with 2,000ks has sprung a leak! Got a warning light about washer fluid level being low. Filled it right up only to notice fluid dripping onto the ground from underneath the front fender on the driver's side. Checked underneath the cap in the engine bay next day and the fluid level had dropped right down even though I hadn't used the wipers at all. Either a crack in the plastic fluid reservoir itself or something's not right with one of the rubber hoses connected to it or the pump has gone awry. Not a big deal, to be sure; however, it's annoying this has happened on a new and relatively expensive car. The thought that they will have to remove the front fender (or more) to reach all the bits doesn't exactly appeal to me, but it is what it is .... German build quality?!

Well now that is interesting, i had to put some water in mine the other day and i dont recall ever having to use the washers since i got the car. Going to check again later.

On another note, coming back from Goulburn to Sydney last week I got 6.4 l/100 matching VWs brochure claim.

What's interesting is that there's no warning light and no leak today. How bizarre! Will definitely mention this later in the week when it goes in for its inspection. Yeah, on the open road the 206TSI sips very little fuel, but in peak hour traffic it's quite the guzzler.

Wow 6.4. Iv never come close. I think the first 1000kms I avg 30 L per 100

[206Harvard]

Yeah i agree with the guzzle, around Sydney with normal driving I'll see 10-12 l/100 but motorway with no stop start it's quite the opposite.😊

Well i've just lowered my Passat R. I used eibach pro springs and standard shocks, also upgraded the front sway bar links and ive gone for a 24mm adjustable rear sway bar to top it all off.

I'm really looking forward to hitting some corners as soon as I get a wheel alignment.

[Buzy_Robot]

Wow! Nicely done. Rims look good on the white bod.

Have you thought of adding some protection to the front end? Chances are you might start getting some scrapes now that it's lower.

My 206TSI sedan is back from its first inspection and all good. Washer fluid leak was probably due to a loose hose. All fixed now.

Does anyone know how to reset service reminder on 206. Not great at searching, but I did try!

[AJ240]

Just picked up my new R-line, White, Wagon, Sunroof, towbar, weather strips. Very very happy with it so far.
Still playing with everything to get my setup how I want it and playing with all the new gizmos.
Just need to get myself a VCDS cable to expand the options.

[Mr_206]

Pics pls!!!!!!

The Grand Pearl arrived in Melb on Sat and actually saw it over the Westgate and the heaps of cars out at the docks.... now to decide when to pick it up as I dont need the car yet!...

[TailsK]

Does anyone know if you can use the VCDS to adjust the speed at which lane guidance kicks in, or the amount of time before it forces you to take the wheel...?

[Diegothecat]

OK the best iv been able to do is change the effective beds through the the bph screen and remove the warning tones completly or make it constantly tone. I spent ages mucking with this on my b7 with no luck. I'm still lookking into changing the distance between the car in front but having no luck as such. But I'm still trying.
