aftermarket

2003 V6, 2.8L - The latch on my glove box door broke again yesterday. I repaired it 3-4 years ago, pulling it apart and gluing it back together. I don't wish to do that again and figure it's time to just replace it. (I also want to spend the money on some other impending repairs.) My dashboard...

I was sure I saw something about this here before, but I couldn't find it, so I'm sorry if this is a repost. I've been looking at body parts for my car, and I know for a fact that I'm going to be putting aftermarket headlights on it. Easy enough to find. Tail lights, however, are seemingly...

Hi everyone, Although, I replaced the o rings on the transmission cooling lines at the radiator connection, a bit of fluid is still leaking. I believe it is the radiator side that has the problem. So, I decided to install an external transmission cooler, bypassing the radiator. Does anyone...

I need to find aftermarket taillights for my 2002 passat wagon

Hi, I seem to have a little problem with replacing the stereo in my 2017 Passat S trim US model. I shipped the vehicle from the US to Germany (I am in the military) and it is due to arrive in a few days. I checked with a local German car hifi dealer to replace the factory stereo with an Alpine...

I'm looking for a set or aftermarket tail lights for my b5.5 wagon, and I can't find any anywhere. Anyone know where to get a set? I've tried eBay and all sorts of foreign websites. Looking for something similar to the pictures attached. If there aren't any, I may just go the route of throwing...

Hey guys, new guy here. I'm from London, ON Canada and I just got my first car, a 2008 Volkswagen Passat B6 2.0T. Wondering if anyone had any good options/suggestions for after-market stereos/sound systems. My main requirements would be Bluetooth, high quality sound, flexibility with EQ, and...

It is a 2002 passat with a monsoon I completely bypassed the monsoon system to install a aftermarket head unit and a 5 ch amp a few years ago. I taped into the Fuse block for constant and switched power for my deck . In the past year I started getting alternator noise in my components. I...

I got one completely shot upper control arm. Should I devil myself with the pinch bolt, or buy an Ebay aftermarket steering knuckle for $95. I don't have air tools or torches... I searched for used VW steering knuckles (8D0407258AL), but unsurprisingly they are hard to come by. John

I used to have the aftermarket radio work even with the key not in ignition just by pressing a button on the radio and as soon as I put the key in and out again it would shut down the radio. Now I have replaced the radio and it doesn't work without putting the key in ignition. I think that I...

I know there are a lot of purists on this site that would not let anything like this near their Passats, but when I got a great deal on my Passat, I was too excited about the manual transmission and turbo to realize some of the finer driving aspects didn't come with the car. So I went ahead a...

Greetings Everyone, I have to replace the catalytic converter on my '12 Passat SE 2.5 liter. It went sideways around two weeks ago and yes, it's throwing too many codes for those who are going to ask. I'm looking for an aftermarket one, but prices are all over the map so I'm not sure where...
