Rear Speakers not working

**kornmental** · 13-07-2009,07:39 PM

Hey im new to this site and require helpi have the 1.9 tdi s Passat and as far as i know it has rear speaker ( Im not really up on cars).

I gave my friend a lift the other night and he pointed out that they where not working and that i should have a setting on the main radio to fix this....... is this true?? Ive looked for it and as of now i cannot find anything to adjust the volume unless im doing it wrong?

If this is not the case could it be the result of a lose wire and should i take it back to VW as it is still under its warrenty untill september.... Hope you can help me Thankyou

I believe the does not have rear speakers as standard.

As Cylon say's. The S model doesn't have rear speakers or the wiring to fit them.

you both 100% sure about that as it say it has 8 speakers on the website... 4 front and four rear??

Mine is a 2006 S spec and it doesn't have them. Maybe the newer model years have it????

What year is it as the "S" tended to NOT have rear speakers.

If it does, you should be able to balance the sound to the rear from the stereo - if you can't or it doesn't work, you've not got them.

You'd be looking for the fader control on the radio to set the balance from front to rear.

Seriously

I remember reading a long term review of the Passat S, and it was one of their main criticisms that it had no rear speakers, which was a bit tight on a car like this, even though it is base spec
