    Hi, I have -03 Passat and problem is that when it starts getting damper (ie. fall is coming) the dashboard and button back lights start to flicker. It doesn't really matter what position the adjuster is it will flicker the same. Sometimes going completely off and then full on again, other times...

    Hi all, So I bought a 2006 B6 2.0Tdi (BKP engine) with 151k miles on it. got it for a steal from someone I know. I drove it home about 4 hours and parked it for a few weeks while i sorted out my other car. Got into it one day and noticed the dash lights were flickering. Not the needles or...

    98 1.8t automatic As the title says, the cluster flickers and stops working. It only does it while driving. I can rev the hell out of it when its parked and nothing. I can heat the car up until im roasted out of it, nothing. But once i start driving it, it flickers intermittently. If im heavy...

    Having a strange issue I'm hoping to get some suggestions for. This is a 1998 Passat. Symptoms: at high RPMs, the red battery light will flicker. This ought be at highway speeds or it can happen when I simply rev the engine while standing still. What I've tried so far: - replace alternator -...

    I just recently started having this problem. I have a battery in the trunk for my audio (hasn't been hooked up yet though), I have done the big 3, I have gotten my battery and alternator tested at autozone. They said everything checked out. Also after driving for a while the pulsing gets worse...

    Almost all warning lights suddenly started flickering and there is 3 beeps in a row continiously, also the rev counter dies about once a second. The car runs like normal. I have already checked the battery connections, which was a bit loose. Now its fixed, but the problems still remains. I...

    The lights on my 2006 Passat (88k) multifunction steering wheel started flickering on and off recently. These are the volume/mute controls on the left and the display controls on the right. Possible short? Any suggestions would be most welcome. Thank you! :banghead:

    Hello All, I seem to have an issue with my A/C, and of course it's during the heat wave. Everytime I turn on the A/C, I hear a crackling sound on the left side of my dash and the A/C light in the middle console starts flickering. The A/C won't turn on anymore. I bought a 384 relay, because...

    Problem: All my lights are flickering when I hit the gas at all, and even a little when the car is just on. We're talking headlights, taillights, dash, center console etc. And not just a little. People say it looks like I'm almost flashing my high beams at them. Notes: I have a brand new...

    Hey guys, I installed HID's about half a year ago, and just recently, my headlights started flickering when I go over bumps, even small ones. Both of them flicker simultaneously, so I know it's not a ballast or bulb problem. I was thinking its a bad ground connection or maybe a bad relay...

    I've got a 2002 Passat that has recently been having the dash lights turn themselves on then off (all dash lights, cluster, radio, climate control). It doesn't seem to effect the exterior lighting, just interior. I installed a new dual position switch from ECS tuning a few years back and...

    The battery light isn't coming on fully. In daylight, I might not see it flickering at all, it's that 'dim'. The noise, which is perfectly synchronized with the flickering, is new, as far as I know. I'm a little Old School, so all I know is check the terminals while running, and I'm picking up...

    Yesterday I was at a stop light, and my car started sputtering like it was going to stall out. I turned it off, back on, felt fine, drove home. Today on my lunch break, I go to leave and same thing happens. So, I take it to the dealer thinking its the engine coils (acted like this when I had...

    Well, it's a small update since I replaced my Alternator around thanksgiving. After the installation for some odd reason my key would only unlock the drivers door and the trunk. About 2 days ago it started unlocking everything.. YAY! :D Anywho, I was driving home on 95 yesterday and noticed or...

    My passat b6 headlights were equipped from the factory with halogen headlights. I wanted to do an upgrade and i bought a brand new set of xenons from germany. I also bought the adapter from germany. I plugged them in today and they appeared to work but on the left headlight both the bulbs turned...

    I just purchased a 2002 B5, V6. I think the previous owner added the HID headlights as a modification. Why would the HIDs flicker on and off when the car is started? If I turn on the head lights before starting the engine, I get no flickering, the HIDs come on and stay on. Some times, when...
