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.

... there was another T.
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. Wer Rechtschreibfehler findet, kann sie behalten !

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. Wer Rechtschreibfehler findet, kann sie behalten !
