    Hi, My Passat 1.8T is making a strange noise at cold start up. Oil level is fine and I don't have a dry start knock like it's low on oil pressure but the knock fades in after a minute on start up then I hear something click and it goes away. Could I be hearing detonation like a knock sensor...

    I have a 2004 Passat that has the parking lights and tail lights staying on after the car is shut off. It will run the battery dead, so I have to disconnect the battery when I'm done driving it.

    .... and I don't care!! :) I dread the Passat doors, and only a regulator or regulator clip breaking would force me back in. Properly dealing with the water seal is the biggest bitch. I use that 3M strip caulk, which works great, but is horrible to manage. It's such weird behavior, it used...

    I want to start by thanking everyone for help in advance. So the whole story. We bought the car, 2003 Passat 1.8t, with a bad oil pump. Long story short we ended up replacing the motor.

    Hey all, So my driver side mirror glass was 90% of the way to falling off, and so I removed it and then used some harbor freight epoxy to glue it back on.

    I just bought a pre-owned 2013 Passat SE 2.5. I have my phone connected to Bluetooth. The problem I'm having is that when I try to listen to the radio (FM or SAT) it keeps switching back to BT-Audio all by itself and I have to keep pressing the FM or SAT button. Sometimes it happens by...

    Hey guys, New to the forum obviously but I got a 2006 VW Passat a few weeks ago off of a guy I work with who didn't need it anymore.
