2008 Passat (b6). Replaced AC system (everything but evap). All seems well. Air will blow cool but not cold because of outside air mix. also the cabin recirculation button will not stay depressed or lit. Any suggestions. -looks like vacuum hose is okay. -can’t tell if the flap servo motor...

Has anyone ever done an ebrake conversion on a b6 passat? i hate the ebrake button and like the more traditional hand brake. is there a center console with an ebrake option? i see the new 2018 passats are back at the manual handbrake but im not sure if the center console would bolt up to a b6...

How to Remove Rear Defroster Button on B5.5 Passat ? Hi all, I have a 2001 B5.5 Passat 1.8t. Does anyone have first hand experience in removing the rear defrost switch button ? I've seen a couple of videos for B5 models, but the location of the button is completely different from mine...

Hi, I have -03 Passat and problem is that when it starts getting damper (ie. fall is coming) the dashboard and button back lights start to flicker. It doesn't really matter what position the adjuster is it will flicker the same. Sometimes going completely off and then full on again, other times...

Okay, so here's the deal, I dumped my headunit (Pioneer P9) and went with a tablet with USB audio going to into a USB DAC to my DSP via optical.. Basically no more RCA from HU (tablet) to the processor and the audio is passed in the digital domain versus analog and let the processor use it's...

Hi, So I'll shortly be retrofitting the B5.5 full FIS cluster to my 2000 Passat B5. Now I have some experience coding the cluster/matching keys and so it got me thinking. Is it possible to change the standard Passat B5 2-button keyfob (lock/unlock) to a 3-button (lock/unlock/boot)? Specifically...

Where has the time gone? My last post was YEARS ago... My time is not my own anymore. :( Anyway, wish this could come at a happier juncture, but the wife has declared the Passat 'too old', and forced me to buy a new car. Though I pondered over a few used BMWs and Audi A/S4s, I decided to bite...

04 GLX sedan There is a black rubber cover that is located in between the license plate lights. I appears to be covering a button but I haven't a clue what it does. When I press it (thinking it's the trunk release) it doesn't do anything. Inside trunk release works, the remote unlocks it...

so, i've been looking around now for a couple days. was there EVER any switches or buttons for the shifter center base on the NMS (usa) b7 passats? even the etka online parts references point that there are only blanks, not ever buttons. can anyone confirm this? did vw think about future use...

So the inside center rear view mirror fell off the windshield. The whole assembly came off... the mirror, arm with ball and the metal "button" that attaches to the windshield. I need to know how to get the round metal button out of the arm .. so I can re-glue the button onto the windshield...

Ebay seems to have a few options for heated steering wheels - mostly from a Touareg. The wheels look the same as what the B7 has, which is actually the problem - there's no extra button to activate the heat function. There's a Youtube video showing how to turn on the heat, but the video is in a...

** Update - got one from a member here. Thanks much all** My fob broke right where the roll pin goes through the blade. Tried to go the ebay route and get a case but the factory key doesn't ft the crappy aftermarket fob. Looking for a 2 button B5 fob. BTW, I bought a B5.5 fob here previously...

2002 Passat 1.8T auto. The recirculate button lights up when I push it and it locks in place however, it does not seem to make a difference in airflow. Is this electric over vacuum? Where should I Start??

The button to lower the hatch on my '08 Wagon works sporadically. Sometime I can push it over and over and over and the hatch won't lower, so I close it manually. Next time I hit it once, and it closes. I assume it's a flakey button. How tough is it it to replace? From what I gather, I...

My MFD is blank and has not worked for about a year. Some how the speed warning beep is set to go off at about 25 mph. Very annoying. Can someone give me the steering wheel button sequence (menu, ok, +, -) that will set the speed to -- instead of 25?

I have a 2003 Passat GLX V6 4motion (Canadian). I noticed a small black button just behind the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel. Does anyone know what it's function is? I've pressed it and it didn't seem to do anything.

1999 vw Passat v6 2.8 manual trans. Gas release and power lock system stopped working. Fuses are working and truck still opens electronically. If any one has any pointers, I would be very grateful.

Passat:1999 V6 2.8 Manual transmission. The auto lock system gradually stopped working. The gas lid release also stopped working. Fuses all work. The truck release works and power windows works as well. If anyone can help me, I would be very grateful.

Gas release button stopped working, I found this out when I had a 1/4 of gas tank left. Auto lock system also is not working, it was on and off for a little bit and then gradually stopped working. Any idea what might be the problem?
