    A friend has asked me to replace the driver's door on his 2007 Passat. He has a problem where he can't open the door from the inside, so to exit the car he has to wind down the window and open the door using the external handle. He has a spare door he wants to just straight swap on to it. I...

    I have broken the drivers door handle trying to pull open a frozen door. The handle now sits proud by about 5 to 10mm and will not open the door after the car has been locked. After the car has been unlocked and opened from the inside the door can be closed and opened using the external handle...

    Hey guys, so I just recently got a 2012 VW Passat SE 2.5L. The back doors have some problems. The rear left door doesn't lock with the key fob and doesn't lock using the buttons inside either. The only way for me to lock it is by removing the rubber lock grommet on the side of the door as shown...

    Not sure what’s keeping the cable from returning to it’s proper resting position. The circular spring inside the actuator seems to have plenty of tension and nothing inside appears broken. If you know how much force the actuator arm is supposed to have let me know and I’ll test it. Red is...

    Has anyone had smoke and a burning smell coming from the power window assembly in any of the doors? I can't get to it for two days, but I'll do the obvious -- pull the door panel and run a VCDS scan on the module that controls the windows. I just wanted to see if anyone has had a similar...

    Hello guys! So I noticed on my driver door that the courtesy light was out so I bought a new one to replace it. When installing the new one, it was EXTREMELY dim and making an electrical humming noise. It's like it not really getting the 12v it needs??? I tried the new light on all other doors...

    I thought I had my rear door finally waterproofed, taking special care when replacing the regulator panel (lock mechanism repair). 3 doors finally are opening again, and on the first pull! :thumbup: (thanks Andreas for all the tips!). But, after torrential rain yesterday, I found water all...

    I have a rear right door lock mechanism that is not opening from the outside, even directly pulling on the external handle metal cable with my hand. I believe the part# is 3B4839016B, but I cannot verify without tearing the door apart (and that would take considerable time and swearing). My...

    Ok, so all my doors have this happening now, where they don't open on the first pull (mostly after initially unlocking). I know how each door has to reset back to its original position before the door can be re-opened, and about the indexed cable on the outer door handle, and have played with...

    Fateful day last fall (about 7 months ago) my window regulator went. Tired of paying my mechanic for various problems over years with my 2003 Passat, I decided to repair window myself. Followed Utube video and successfully replaced the window regulator. However, about week later I noticed the...
