Update: Sorry my bad. I checked the wrong bulbs. Both the dual filament bulbs were busted for the brake light filament portion. Got new bulbs and the brake lights are back on. In case, someone else had this problem, the bulb size I got at AutoZone was 7725 (12V 21/4W). Today I was told that...

I'm baaaackkkkk!!!!! On February 24th, 2014, I wrote my "final" goodbye detailing the sale of our beloved 2003 B5.5 that was sold to a friend of a friend. The car currently resides on Las Vegas and I still keep tabs on her. Following the sale of the B5.5, I purchased a 2011 MK6 GTI 4 Door...

I have a 2003 Passat GLX Wagon with a rear cd changer -- owned for about a week when I discovered it has a cd changer in the back above the wheel well. It didn't have a changer cartridge which I found online, loaded it up, but it doesn't work. I think there is no power to the changer unit so I...

I just had axles replaced on my passat from non-dealer. (They had gotten pretty bad, cv boots were torn and were clacking whenever I turned the car). When I picked up the car, I noticed that whenever I have almost reached a complete stop, the brakes give a little rumble/grumble sound, and I...

Hello, I am new to the community but I could not find a post on this issue. I have a 99 passat 1.8T 5 speed. Randomly the ABS light and brake light come on my dash and beep three or four times at me. I checked the codes with our snap on scanner at the shop and it said intermittent ABS...

I'm really hoping it's not too serious. But I have a 2012 Passat SE. About a week ago, my check engine light came on. After restarting the car (I was running an errand), it never came back on. Since then, my car occasionally will jerk when I come to a stop applying the break. If I come to a very...

Hi Everyone: Today my Passat 2003 ABS Anti-lock brake light came and then went off after a couple of miles driving. Any idea why this is happening? My brakes are fine last time I had my oil change 3 months ago. I appreciate any insight you can provide. Thanks so much. Ellie

2000 GLX AWD. The driver's window seems to have come loose from something. It still goes up and down with the window mechanism. But if the window is rolled down and i shut the door, it rattles a lot. Much more than the other windows. I found the video on repairing the mechanism on the 2002...

I just bought a new 2016 Passat and it only came with 1 key fob and 2 Valet keys? Is this normal or should it come with 2 of the switchblade key fobs?

Hi, I have a 2005 passat TDI wagon. When I start the car, the e-brake warning light comes on. While the light is on, the wipers, heat/air blowers and signal light won't work. When this first started, it would go off after 30 seconds. Now, especially after a long drive, it won't go off at all...

Hello Guys, This is not a how to remove the outer axle joint question but rather anyone ever had one that will not come out no matter what you do to it? I got a replacement of rebuilt axle from Rax already and I am just messing around to see if there is anyway to get the damn thing off.(after...

Can anyone tell me if I order a hid kit from deautokey.com will the bumper need to come off to do the lights? Thank you!

I have searched the forums for this... but it seems like I have the opposite problem from the posts I am finding. 2005 Passat wagon 4M 1.8T with leather seats. I cannot get the headrest to come completely out of the seat back. It will go up... but not come completely out of the seat. So I...

Wishing to become empowered with knowledge

I have a 2005.5 Passat 1.8t. Initially when I bought the car the first two years cost me ~4k (CAN) in repairs ranging from dirty throttle bodies, blown head gaskets (timing belt and plugs replaced as a result @ 72,000km), SAIP codes galore, torn serpentine belts (my own fault) and the ever so...

Just wondering if anyone has a good clutch laying around with plenty of meat left on it that they're ready to part with. Lemme know please!
