Volkswagen Passat B8 (3G) 2015-2023

The Volkswagen Passat B8 (3G) (2015–2023) brought sharper, more premium styling and the option of VW’s Active Info Display to the family saloon and Estate, on the MQB platform. Its electronics depth means several systems expect resetting after work. The oil service reset and separate inspection (INSP) counter are cleared through the instrument menu once fresh oil is in. Owners also run a TPMS reset to relearn or set tyre pressures, a brake pad wear reset when the pads and sensor are renewed, and steering angle calibration after alignment work. Fit a new 12V battery and it must be registered so the energy-management system adapts. The electric windows may need re-initialising after a battery disconnect. Pick your Passat’s service reset from the procedures listed directly below.
