Passat Alltrack Wolfsburg

[Just_Westy]

the OBD11 tool, like VCDS allows you to scan the computer on the car and make tweaks. I didn't like the standard look of the active info display, so i changed it to the R version. Same with TMC, its not enabled by default. You can also use it to scan for fault codes generated by the onboard computer.

Whats the difference between to R Version display and the standard one on the Alltracks ?

Other than looks, R speedo goes up by 5kmh up to 120kmh, then by 10kmh. Standard speedo goes up by 5kmh to 60kmh, then by 10kmh.

Surely you want to try to hit 320! I do prefer the graphics and italicised font of the R as well as the difference in increments.

Thanks for that guys the R gauges do look a bit better, think I'll get a single and have a play shortly. Any other worthwhile tweaks to the displays or settings ?
Thanks in advance.

Currently in Bathurst for the day and enjoyed the drive in the new ride. Might let the misses do a lap where she can't scrape any gutters

Hi all,

Just wondering what sort of fuel economy other owners are getting? That's the only slight let down for me so far, previous 2016 Skoda Octavia 2.0 TDI was rated 4.9 combined and long term average I got was 5.2 but with the Alltrack it's rated 5.4 and my usual average for my work commute is 6.4, best I've seen is 5.5 but that was for a run that the Octavia would've probably gotten 4.5 or better.

Cheers,
Karl

I had a Skoda Superb before which was around 5.4, my Alltrack Wolfsburg which I have had for a year, runs at 6.4

I just got 5.8 Syd - Bathurst return which is good for new motor and I wasn't looking for a figure. In all honesty as long as it stays in the mid 6's i'll be happy.

Quick review, car drove beautifully today chalked up over 400k's which was a great run to help run a diesel motor in. Plenty of hills and decent engine load for some periods. Car handled well through some twisties though the 19's really arn't needed but wern't overly harsh. The DSG performed flawlessly and I was quite surprised by how intuitive it seemed in the hills. S mode isn't need IMHO and won't get much use from me I think.

All up the Passat Alltrack Wolfie is a well sorted comfortable car that can be fun to drive in a spirited manner.

Thanks for the replies, I'm not really worried about the fuel economy, just expected it to be great from day one like the Skoda was. Even if it stays 6.4 it's a lot better than I'd have gotten from anything else I was considering (Golf R Wolfsberg wagon).

I had 19's on the Skoda but the Alltrack has a much more comfortable quiet ride on the same rim size.
