    A friend has asked me to replace the driver's door on his 2007 Passat. He has a problem where he can't open the door from the inside, so to exit the car he has to wind down the window and open the door using the external handle. He has a spare door he wants to just straight swap on to it. I...

    I have broken the drivers door handle trying to pull open a frozen door. The handle now sits proud by about 5 to 10mm and will not open the door after the car has been locked. After the car has been unlocked and opened from the inside the door can be closed and opened using the external handle...

    The plastic broke and I just had an old change but big leaks on the Turbo unit so I cannot go by the amount of oil unless through it out and replacing this new oil with another new batch. Could someone that owns a Passat as mine above just go and measure the distance from the very end of the...

    Fateful day last fall (about 7 months ago) my window regulator went. Tired of paying my mechanic for various problems over years with my 2003 Passat, I decided to repair window myself. Followed Utube video and successfully replaced the window regulator. However, about week later I noticed the...

    Greetings! I searched on this topic, but didn't get any good answers, so I thought I'd start a thread. The basics: 2003 GLX 4Motion Wagon, automatic transmission. The question: The wood trim on the inside door handle came off in my hand the other night. Any guidance on the correct adhesive...

    I have had a good try at reinstalling my passat W8 handle(s). I know all about the cable, the rotational device that holds in the lock/blank. I cant seem to work out the method to get the rear clips of the handle to engage properly with the spring return mechanism that pulls the rear of the...

  9. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    Hi all, I'm working on replacing parts on my newly-acquired W8 one by one. Tonight's project was to replace the faulty door lock mechanism on my driver's side door. The swap went fairly smoothly and the new (VW-OEM) unit is now working perfectly as it should. One weird thing though is that...

    So I've been trying to figure out to fix this issue without buying a whole new door panel. If you go to this video, and fast forward to 0:50, you'll see him start to remove the master switch assembly from the door control panel: After I pulled the master switch module, and looked at the...

    Hello guys. So the winter came in and made some trouble for my Passat B5 (1999 y., 81 kW, 1.9). The problem is that, one day when I tried to open my glove box, its handle broke down. I have fixed the break up point and sticked the metal rods with glue in the holes where they should be and now I...

    I disassembled the driver's door, to remove the lock module and hopefully improve its operation by resoldering the internal circuit board. The lock module is now reassembled and back on the metal door panel, which is itself now screwed back in place onto the door. (Yes, I changed the nylon...

    Many moons ago, two mostly used doors, driver door and rear right passenger door, on my 2001.5 Passat won't open from outside after unlocking. I had to slightly slam the outside door handle after unlocking each time to open them. I thought the locks were worn out so I replaced them with locks I...

  17. Volkswagen Passat B6 Discussion
    Hi again! This time my B6 surprised me with an actual flaw. Last saturday i noticed that my passenger door didn't actually close. The actual lock did move, but not click into either position when used via a screwdriver. I fixed it by holding the door close and using the key fob to first lock and...
