electric

My driver's seat has an electric switch to adjust the seat angle. The switch is not working and the seat angle is tilted too far forward to drive comfortably. I've read countless posts on different sites and have deduced it's likely either a fuse (which I cannot find) or the switch itself (which...

My EV conversion after 10 years and 90k miles

Hey, i am really new to all the passat world. i have a passat b6 sedan 2007 2.0 fsi i dont have electric folding mirrors, but i have seen a passat b6 that do that. i already replaced the switch of the mirrors to a one that has the folding option (because this is what i found on ebay) and than...

Hi all i posted a question around a week ago, and as of my login today, there has been 130 views on my question. I am assuming that no-one knows the answer or even knows what i am talking about or it could just be me not doing something in the correct way according to the site but i am a...

When I opened my wagon/estate tailgate last night the motor made a horrible noise - like it was not engaging properly but it still opened. When it reached the closed position the tailgate bounced and although you could hear the the mechanism trying to engage it was not latching - you could lift...

Hi all, I promise I've searched every corner of this site for my particular problem, but I've come up with nothing. I had the usual electrical problems, so I replaced the CCM and plugs/wiring. Everything now works, except the windows. I've replaced fuses 14 and 9, and checked the two underneath...

So I was going through some curves on the road today, and when turning in on one, the steering got VERY heavy, as if it was non assisted manual steering, with a grinding noise. It only lasted for half a second, but if someone had lesser arm strength they would have ended down in a river. This...

I have a 2003 V6. It has new within the last year alternator, battery, starter, ignition coils. Just replaced the manifold pressure valve or whatever it's called that changes the runner length, as well, but that does probably not have any relevance right now. The car seat to have a slow drain...

I need to remove the passenger seat in my wife's wagon. I've read several posts about disconnecting the battery, removing the plastic covers behind it , removing the front screw but I can't seem to get it of the rail so I can get it out. Any tricks? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Good evening ladies and gents, I screwed up and I need your help please..... Ok let me start from the beginning. Picked up a 2010 Passat wagen (comfortline) 2 days ago for the wife and wanted to adjust a few things, DRLs to use the fog lights, program the key fob to open/close windows...all...

Hi all, I'm experiencing a common problem with my 2001 B5.5 TDI (130 PD) Passat (RHD): Electric windows, interior lights, and remote locking are not working. This issue is covered in depth in this and other forums, however, I have spent the last 9 months reading/investigating and trying to...

2003 Passat GLX 2.8L Climatronic When I turn on the Air Conditioning, the electric/secondary radiator fan turns on and goes immediately to High speed. It stays at high speed until I turn off the AC. Also, I think this is related, the compressor does not cycle on & off once it drops to a...

Anybody here remember the guy that pulled his original motor and replaced it with an AC motor? If I recall he had the motor mounted to the front of the transmission and installed in the car and was working on getting the electrical connections finished off. Just curious to know if that project...

03 Passat Wagon GLX V6 4MO - I can't find the actual relays - help requested - see below I am in need of some help in diagnosing an auxiliary cooling fan issue. I have read through previous PassatWorld posts on the electric fan and have read through the Bentley manual. The fan will not come...

So I realised that the electronic tailgate in my MY13 ALltrack is only partially working but I can't tell if it's by design - i don't think so however I can open it by the fob or the drivers door button, but i can only close it using the tailgate button. I think I'm meant to be able to close it...

Hello, Recently my area experienced some record flooding, and my poor 08 Passat got completely submerged with water. It was a real mess to say the least but that's life. The car can't start up but I had the engine tested and they say it's still good so that's a plus. I had all the basics...

Okay so 2005 passat gls, 1.8t auto fwd. I was putting led bulbs in and accidentally left one light on while changing it, passenger sun visor light. Heard a small noise behind the dash and now I don't have any interior lights, or sunroof. door locks aren't working either. if you try to lock the...

hi guys, last 8 months we are trying to figure out mystery. I already had it checked by three mechanics and vw dealership and no one can find any problem. I bought car in April 2015 . since that time i have replaced timing belt, head gaskets, battery, water pump etc and spend more $ on fixing...

Hi to all, last week I got a Passat 98, I had no connection to VW before so all this is very new to me. I am in the Dominican Republic and here they "take care" of the cars in a different way: they don't go to the dealer or buy original parts, the solve the problems in the most cost effective...

This issue bothers me for a year. Lots of time. Both calipers have been replaced and programmed. Still has the problem. What is the next step? Model or computer?
