    Hi there, I have a 2005 B5.5 that I'm wanting to enable window roll up/down with the key fob, but after doing some research I have a few questions, and would appreciate if this forum's more experienced coders could help resolve them. So far while researching I've come across two different...
  3. Wheel and Tire Forum
    Just installed some 17" Classix with tires that match the Passat's factory tire diameter (to keep the speedo the same). There's not rubbing anywhere, but the fronts are about 3/8"-1/2" from the control arm. A test drive shows no rubbing but it still scares me. Is it ok to drive like this? Also...

    04 GLX 165.000 miles Any ideas why the sunroof reopens to the fully open position when I try close it? Eventually after multiple attempts it finally closed as it should. Is there a safety sensor to keep it from closing if it detects something in the way? (sort of like a garage door) When I...

    Hi, I have a 2013 VW Passat 2.5S and I've noticed that my door have an unpleasant closing sound unless I close them VERY lightly. Is there some mod I can do to make them close with a nice quiet thud? Beefier door seals? Any ideas?

    Mine will not close even manually. I basically understand how they are removed but can't figure out the inside trim on the runners. I need to remove this trim to get to the screws that will release the sunroof. I have read how the trim comes off similar models (newer) but can't figure this...

    So it's been a while. My passenger side cylinder head took a dive during a tensioner failure. Replaced the cylinder head and associated components, timing belt, water pump, tensioners and pulleys.. you all know the deal. So I crank it up, it purrs like a kitten. Rides really nice on the road. So...

  12. Anything Auto
    Just thinking ahead to my next car, possibly in a couple years. I really like the A3 hatchback, and want a manual transmission, but is it worth it getting an Audi if it's FWD? On the other hand, all other things being equal, a comparable GTI is maybe $1000 less when comparing used cars with no...

    Was driving to work this morning, turned on the heat no heat, very low heat, looked at the gauge normally 190 was down to around 0, . Scanned the codes when I got to work P3081 (low engine temp). Is this the thermostat? Coolant temp switch or other? Only have 25K on new timing belt, water...

    Hi, I'm new here as I'm at my wits end. I've had my passat estate about 3 weeks. Went out last night, took my pool cue out of the boot and pressed the button and it didn't close. I had to push it down by hand. What do I do? Liza

    I recently bought a 2000 passat wagon and have been driving it for a few weeks. Today when I was driving to a friends house the second turn I hit the back right door came open. I pulled over and tried to close it but it wouldn't latch. Frustrated, I drove home and investigated. When I pulled the...

    So I'm taking groceries out of the trunk, and for the first time I notice a green latch. "Hmm. What's that for?", I wonder. I pull on it. Hear a clicking noise. Later, I'm finished removing groceries and now the trunk won't latch closed. I did a little surfing and found out that it's the...

    I've lost quite a bit of coolant recently. Before it WAS leaking but nothing major. I would have to top off some coolant every 2-3 weeks from MIN to max BUT now its continuously dripping one drip by one after its been turned off (probably as its running as well) for about an hour or so. (may be...
