HI.

I just filled up my Passat with gas and, of course, started fiddling with everything inside the car.

Is it normal for the latch bolt on the tailgate to be "spring-loaded"?

He's not completely secure, but also not so loose that it seems like it should be bombproof, and 1-2 screws are loose.

It's kind of weird.

Thank you.

I don't know what the f*ck it was.

Hi Martin,

It's probably because the 3C variant has a power-assisted opening mechanism for the tailgate.

Nope.

The assistance for installing the door is only available if it is a completely electric door.
I saved myself those 400 euros.

I only read it while quickly skimming through the SSP, so I thought.
