New Passat 206TSI R-Line

**206er** · 23-05-2017, 11:59 PM

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

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

Well, not sure about the Passat but the new Arteon will have the 7 speed box confirmed. Engine is the same.

I am glad I held off - the Arteon will be the perfect replacement for my CC

Picked my new Passat 206 rline wagon up this week, after merely dropping into the dealers just to look at one on my way out somewhere. Highly underrated car, superbly impressed with it. I would encourage anyone looking at cars in this bracket to test drive one.

Snap! 2 days in and real impressed, although all the tech controls takes some learning.

Despite figures on paper I was a bit underwhelmed on the test drive - tried launch control 3 times

However after driving it for longer now I'm most content. Has a nice purrr and need to learn not to put my foot down as much in some situations!
Very comfy, good performance. I'd agree with Finno, defo worth a look if these points float your boat and the budget's for you.
