New Passat 206TSI R-Line

Wow, did they say a towbar wasn't an option on the wagon?
Looks great btw!

I queried this and got told towbar is NOT an option due to the automatic boot on the 206 TSI R

I think the original specifications did not include a tow bar, but subsequently was updated and not all dealers have read the updated specs. This forum is proof that you can get a tow bar fitted so just shop around.

I will preface this by saying that I have an Alltrack Wolfsburg, not a 206TSI - but I DO have the auto tailgate. AND a towbar. I would suggest that the dealer you spoke to is not up to date on specs.

By "auto tailgate" does that mean wave your foot underneath and the tailgate opens/closes?
Pretty certain my 206 wagon does not have that. Would be nice if it did.

That's what I'm referring to dude, yeah.

Somehow my question about the auto tailgate was deleted....never mind.
Just looked at the specs and yes it says auto tailgate not fitted on the rline.🤐

The sensor for the auto open wasn't compatible with the rear bumper skirt on the R Line. It seems like it might be an easy mod if the sensor is still there and just needs a cutout and enable.

What's the difference with the adaptive lane assist enabled with the OBD and the standard lane assist?

Adaptive = Keep your car in the center of two lanes

Standard = Mod you back from getting outa a lane

Has anyone done any mods like

- Resinator Delete or Full Exhaust, and if so, what does it sound like (clip)
- Lowering Springs
- Tune other than a JB1/4

I want to get a bit more barp out of the exhaust as well as make the car look a little better. I'm worried springs will throw off the ACC and the res delete might make it drone, which is why I'm looking for anyone that's done it.

the 7 spd is coming for MY18 updates later this year....

Can you please confirm where you have gotten this information?

I am close to purchasing a new 206TSI when my novated lease runs out in early August.

Would consider delaying if the 7 speed (which i assume will improve fuel economy?) comes out later this year...

I'd say check with your local dealer, but I had to tell my dealer that the 206 existed in the first place.

I don't think anyone will give a definite answer until one is delivered or advertising is updated.

Hey guys, has anyone had any infotainment gremlins in their 206? The central nav maps work OK but I keep getting 'Starting Map View' circling in the dash view but with no maps. Also when using the steering wheel buttons to change radio to the next station it chooses some random station instead of the next one to the left or right. Keen to hear if any issues?

For the radio station you can select in the menu whether you want the next button to cycle the favourites or the list they stored in. I think the default is the list which isn't what you expect when you hit next station. Changing this to favourite should make it more intuitive.

Anyone considering one of these Arteon's?

Yep, my wife.

She has a 2016 model 132TSI Comfortline. Loves the size and comfort that the Passat-sized vehicle brings, just would like something "spunkier" for want of a better term. So in a couple to 3 years time... She loves the look of the Arteon - just a matter of what it's like "in the flesh" so to speak.

Cool, thanks for the fix age7875, that worked. Not sure how it got changed but all good back to normal. The map issue seems to have fixed itself now too after not working for a few days.........fingers crossed stays that way. Cheers
