The Passat is not like the Jetta is it where the top dash has a separate vent that needs shutting off for the other vents to blow more.
If you keep the top vent open it just pushes more cold air onto windscreen and doest seem to cool the cabin down at all until you close it.

Hi anyone got the lowdown on changing the aircon to a tropical climate setting . Its just acceptable in comparision to my last drive a ford mondeo MB titanium which was litteraly a fridge in operation?

Blackpalardin67: Not sure about the B8 but it's cousin vehicle the Golf mk7 (both cars are built on a MQB platform) has a "wobble-plate" compressor that is designed to operate at 2 x set points: the "normal" setting allows for a basic capacity level cooling and "hot country" setting increases the capacity of the Air Con by lengthening the stroke of the compressor.

If the B8 has the same system, it might be worth checking the setting on your car. All that's needed is a diagnostic cable like VCDS, or OBDeleven - like this:

Took out my air con filter from front passenger foot well yesterday, washed and dried made a significant difference in cooler/quicker bringing temp down , didn't think it was that dirty but has made a difference.

Good quality window tint will also make AC work a lot better.

Where can one obtain a VCDS or OBDeleven?

OBDeleven is available through this site. There are some other sites that sell it too.
