Volkswagen Passat Variant 2008 Manual
When I spoke to them, they said to use the isofix under the seat, which I assumed was just the 2 normal clips you get. I wasn't convinced he really knew what I was getting at and the line was bad.
I rang Britax for clarification too, as I couldn't make head or tail of their compatibility chart. They of course just said to look in the manual. Cars that do have tether points seem to have a special symbol next to them, so I'm guessing our Passat's loops aren't designed to use with a top tether. Who knew fitting a car seat would be so complicated. I just asked a friend who has a 59 plate passat, so the same spec as the 08.

She said that the silver D shaped rings either side of the back of the boot space are for Top tether anchoring. The ones at the front of the boot near the boot opening are for lashing shopping bags and stuff. Our nanny has a VW touran that has the same rings in the same places and I've just had a look in her manual and the D rings at the back of her boot space are for Top tether anchoring too, so I imagine it's the same with all the VWs of that particular time frame. I have taken a picture from our nanny's touran book but according to my friend her passat manual says the same thing.
