I am purchasing a Passat 2.0 TDI B6 Estate Light Blue

I have a few questions about the B6, as I would like to get some work done on it.


1. Cleaning the interior Alcantara seats?

The seats have a variety of stains (lipstick, chocolate etc.), what is a good cleaner for them?

Its the grey coloured Alcantara (like picture below)



2. Cleaning the cloth interior ceiling?

The ceiling inside has lots of stains. The fabric feels like cloth and quite fragile, is there a suitable cleaner for this?

3. VCDS is showing the air intake manifold valve is stuck?

It doesn't seem to be a major issue, but it looks like its hard to get access to the motor. Is this something I should prioritise a fix with?

4. Upgrading the entertainment system?

The car currently has the Radio/CD touchscreen (pic below)



I was looking around and saw this COIKA system (but its no longer available).

Are there any systems to upgrade with (sat nav, DAB, bluetooth, reversing sensors)?



5. Rust spots, VW refusing to fix?

There are rust spots on the hood and tailgate.

What is the best way to fix them up, respray or touch up?


6. Additional battery for camping?

I will be using this for camping and was wondering if its possible to add an additional battery for powering a mini-fridge and some lights etc.

Any good positions or tutorials?

7. Weight load on roof rack?

Do you think the roof rack on the Passat could handle a roof tent capsule?
