    Hello everyone, in my 2000 Passat V6, heat in both mirrors stopped working. I went ahead and removed the glass, and as pictured, the wire connected to the heating element is disconnected; wires were corroded and brittle. 1. How do I solder/glue it back? I plan on cutting out the corroded wires...

    Hi, I've got couple of questions which I believe are may be related to the same issue. I recently bought a Passat 1.8 B5, and when I bought it the remote locking and electric Windows did not work. I discovered this was due to corroded wires going to the CCM in the passenger footwell, so I...

    Hi Guys, Thanks for this great forum. I have a 2007 VW passat tdi 1.9 diesel car. It's a great car and I love driving it in summer. But when winter hits getting the heating on time is a nightmare. It takes anything between 10-15 minutes of driving to get the engine to heat up to 60 and atleast...

    Hey guys, I have a few questions about heating. This is my first winter with this car or any VW so I don't know if that's just how it is, but I highly doubt it. First off I have a 2001 B5 Passat v6. Now, a month ago I had to replace the clutch, and so I took the engine out completely to do so...

Otherwise the interior of the car...

  16. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    Hello all, I have a B5.5 Passat 1.8 AWM FWD. My heating seems to have stopped working, and I can't seem to figure out why. If my car is warmed up, and I'm not using the air, it will blow out hot air for maybe 2-3 seconds and then go right back to cold. I also seem to have developed a coolant...
