My wife owns a 2009 CC with about 43,000 miles on it. Rather than to buy a new car, I am researching installing some up to date safety features, i.e. backup camera and blind spot detection. Hope to get some help from forum members.

Saturday morning I take the old B5.5 to get a new flex joint welded in the exhaust. Seems fine, cost $156 CAD. Sunday evening my son tells me that the hatch doesn't open anymore.:mad: Tried the key, don't work. The electric solenoid is trying, you can feel it struggle when you press the...

I have a 2003 Passat GLX V6 sedan. It has a climatronic system. Sometimes while I have the temp set to 64 degrees F, the air blows, but is not always cold. I verified that the compressor is coming on, and that the electric fan is working. I did a diagnostic on the climatronic and got the...

So I've got an '04 Passat 1.8 Turbo 4-motion. I bought it a few months shy of a year ago, and it has been an overheating disaster ever since. I've blown and replaced the heater core, I have replaced the water pump and the timing belt, and I have had to replace the hose, that needed just the...

The high-speed cooling fan in my '03 W8 6spd wagon starts/remains on after engine start. Here is the VCDS log taken after the problem started: Any ideas on the cause of the problem (ie. temp sensor(s), thermostat, etc.)?

The tabs on my pass side front marker light were busted and so the assembly was popping out. I bought a new one on eBay, was putting that in, changed the burnt out bulb, got her all buttoned up and tested the lights. Nothing. All four marker lights on the bumper tub strips don't do a darn thing...

First off, thanks for taking the time to look at my SOS. I bought my first car (2001 VW Passat GLX 4motion) a couple of months ago. Long story short, a one of the few remaining issues that I'd like to fix myself is still persisting. When I took it in to VW dealership to have them diagnose...

I've always wanted to own a TDI diesel but the price seemed steep and where I live in New England a nice clean used one is rare. Does anyone here think the TDI emissions scandal might result in good deals on them? What are the drawbacks to buying one of the affected cars?

hello this is my first post to the forums and my first passat so bear with me. My car will not cool and i'm trying to figure out why. The ac clutch is always engaged even when ac is turned off. I checked the pressure and it was around 90 if i remember correctly and did not change whether or...

So before leaving it to the shop to get the AC recharged, I just wanted to vent my thoughts with you guys. Car is a 2003 wagon VR5 (european) with Climatronic. When in AUTO mode, the compressor clutch is always engaged (does not cycle on/off). When in ECON mode the clutch releases (as expected)...

...but they've outdone themselves with this gorgeous ass. yes, I know the pix is big, don't care.

the abs pump has this weird dirt on it all the time- and it builds back up within a tank of gas if I clean it off. what is this? this:

I know the door locks are supposed to automatically lock after you exceed 10 MPH, but mine do it every time I go over 10 MPH. I might be crazy but I dont remember them doing it every time when I first got the car. Am I crazy does this happen to everyone and I just didnt notice it initially...
