    Greetings- I inherited this car from my wife and I'm finding a bunch of little "safety" things that I find to be a real pain in the ass!I went into VagCom and chose Cent.Locks to see if I could turn them off there. All I got a was a "no communication....." message. The other thing that I'd like...

    I am getting a wheel shake/pulsation when I brake, more noticeable at high speeds. I also feel a grind as well. The issue will not happen when I first brake, its only when the car has been heated up a bit and then it will start. I went to the dealer today and everything checked out good with the...

    Hi everyone! I've read over some of the older posts in the forum, but I'm not too great with engine work yet. My MIL has been on since I replaced the breather hose underneath the engine ('99 AEB-the bottom of the hose was essentially gone). Below are some of the VCDS readings I've gotten and...

    Hi, I have not been able to find the VCDS hack to disable the feature in which the folding mirrors fold each time the car is locked and unfold each time it is unlocked. I have no need to fold my mirrors except during rare situations so would like to avoid the inevitable premature failure of...

    I've seen a couple of versions but unsure which one is the same as mine...I replaced the CV boots and seem to recall seeing the bearing in a carrier with four bolts. Everything i see on the forum indicates that i will have to get the press out/in version. Maybe i've been swayed by hope?! was...

    Thanks to anyone looking at this. Last week I bought a 2010 Passat Wagon. It came with DRL disabled, H&R Springs, and Koni Shocks. It runs pretty well and I was speculating that it might have had the ECM flashed/modified. Is there any way to tell? Maybe using a VAGCOM cable?

    The last time I tried to replace the lower rad hose, I managed to remove it after working it for some time (what a pain). But, the new one wouldn't go in. I am going to try again next week. I am guessing the oring of the new hose is stiff and needs to compress more so that the clip can latch...

    I am considering getting the APR Stage I upgrade for my 2017 Passat. I've seen on their website that there is an OBD II dongle that will allow bluetooth connectivity so you can use an Android app to change settings instead of using the stalk. The dongle is $199!!!! So, my question is whether...

    Is there any way to tell if a timing belt for a 2002 Passat V6 (ATQ engine) has been replaced at some point? Any clues or things to look for that might indicate that the timing belt has been replaced? Is it possible to get started on the replacement job and determine whether or not the timing...

    Car's been running fine for a while. The other day got home and noticed a kind of whirring noise. Like the gearbox of an old english car in reverse in the movies or something. Grnaaaaaaaahhhh....... The noise is present in motion or at rest. I put it in the garage and left it till I could make...

    My GF just bought a (new to us) Used 2014 Audi Q5 S-Series :bowdown: I am looking for a Audi forum that is like this one. I am keeping my 04 Passat but would like to join the Audi life. We looked at many different makes and the Audi really stood out from the rest. Solid driving, feel, look...
