  1. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    Just picked up my first Volkswagen about a month ago. It's a 2001 B5 Passat GLX wagon. Been reading up quite a bit on these cars before purchase and even moreso now that I own one. My current issue I'm encountering is that the little "reset" button on the bottom of the wiper stalk doesn't appear...

    I have B5 2001. Often it takes 5 to 10 minutes before cluster starts showing speed, gas,temperature, etc before it is just fixed mileage indicator. What can be wrong? Both connectors seem to be OK.

    I have old 2001 VW 2.8 Passat with converted manual transmission. I need to swap instrument cluster which sporadically disconnects. My understanding is that I need two pins(logins) for old and new clusters. I'm successfully reading '07 Kombi'/Instrument/Immobilizer for VDO66/86. The millage...

    Was auto-dimming instrument clusters a thing/option on B5.5 Passats or was that something modified because ever since I added the Auto Lights module and converted my cluster to white LEDs I have noticed that when I change ambient (from light to dark tunnel for instance) with the rheostat set to...

  13. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    02 base model wagon. The dimmer control next to the headlight switch only dims the HVAC and ESC/seat heater/etc lights. The instrument cluster and stereo stay full brightness. Any thoughts on where to start? Bad headlight switch or dimmer control? Thanks.

    I have searched all over, I get conflicting information. I have a 2000 wagon, 1.8t. I have no immobilizer. I am replacing the cluster with one that has 10,000 more miles than the one being removed. I'd like to match the odometer reading. Is the reading held in the ECM in this case, or is it...

    I have a car with an auto transmission. I'm swapping an engine, a transmission and various hardware, including an engine harness. I wonder if I can keep original ECU and a cluster. Is it possible to re-program ECU with the VAG-COM to operate in a manual transmission mode? Do I need a "manual"...

    Hi, I retrofitted a B5.5 FIS cluster (3B0 920 847) to my 2000 B5 Passat which originally contained an MFA cluster (3B0 920 922). I have changed the EEPROM of the new cluster to that of an MPH (3B0 920 947) and I have done the necessary soft coding and key matching. The cluster works fine...
