    Hello, I've got that problem with the trunk door: when opening with keys' button or the door knob — it lifts the trunk door only half and stops. I can open it after manually and when push the close button it is closing ok. What can be the cause of half-opening?

    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...

    2015 Passat issue, when I drive and then stop to drop someone off, I put the car in park and then the interior lights go on and the drivers side door open light appears on the dash.

Thermostat is stuck open in my 03 v6. 270K miles and not too long for the world...but still need it and the heat is only good at idle and I don't feel like tearing it open to replace the T-stat right now in the cold. Here's my idea....since the thermostat is stuck open -...

    Hi, I have a 2003 Passat with the v6 engine. I've had trouble in the past opening the hood but I've always been able to get it open by sticking a screwdriver or my hand under whatever room I had with hood unlocked. Now when pull the inside release the hood does not pop up and the secondary...

    Door is stuck shut. I can hear the latch doing something when I pull either the inside or outside latch. Tried locking and unlocking. How do I fix this without being able to open the door?

    I have a 2005 tdi wagon. Like many people, my door handle stopped opening from the outside. I read online that the mechanism gets caught and by slamming the door and/or fiddling with the child safety lock, you can get the piece to pop back into place without taking the door apart. I tried this...

    .... 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've been working for the last few weeks on updating my GW and CCM so I can retrofit the Discover Media Headunit among other things. nycdub2 has provided me with great levels of help to get everything properly completed to this point. Everything is working as before when I had the original GW...

    Heh-Lur! I own a 03 Passat wagon and my rear hatch/trunk wont open from the inside when I hit the trunk switch on the door. I always have to turn off my car and open the back manually with my key which is annoying as heck especially after I've driven my car and I have to immediately remove...

    Hello everyone, I've joined here to get some info. The rear left door on my 1999 Passat variant won't unlock, there's no way to open it. It once got locked, and never unlocked, just so. I've tried some tricks, but none worked. I wish I could open it with any kind of trick because when you...

    I looked and searched but couldn't find the answers to the following questions: (1) Will B6 wheels fit a B5? :confused: I have a set of Monte Carlos from a 2008? Passat I'd like to put on a 2001 wagon with 15s. The Montys are 17x7.5" with 225/45R17s on them. Or maybe they are 235s? I will try...

    Hi I will try and post this twice here and then maybe I need to do it somewhere else. Not sure how this works. We have a 2004 passat estate and since getting the car have always had to open the boot with the key. Can't use the switch on the drivers door or the key fob. Recently the tailgate open...
