Search Results for ‘intermittently’

My AC blows cold when i am moving however it turns on and off while I am idling. The things I have checked so far, 384 relay, my 20 or 30 amp fuse for the AC and my freon levels are fine. Next on my list is to test the A/C compressor fan aside from that what else can I test and how?

Hi Guys, long time member of here. Need help and knowledge in diagnosing my car's problem. Searched but only got vague search results. Auxiliary fan is working intermittently... does that rule out it's toast? Relays low and high speed are ok, fuse too... does the aux fan switch is the culprit...

Ok, so a buddy of mine bought a front end wrecked 01 Passat with a V6 from an auction. We rebuilt the front end...mostly cosmetic damage. Have no idea the running history of the car before we bought it. It will start and run great, then out of the blue shut down and won't start again unless...

I need some real experience with this one... I've searched high and low on model forums and AudiZine. Can't come up with anybody that has the same issue. APR Tune shuts off after about 7 minutes of driving. Normally I drive until the car is warm, reset the program while driving, then next...

Hi, am new to this forum. Have read a few posts about the various flap motor malfunctions in the B5 (passat sedan v6, 1998) and am wondering if there is a chance that our fault could be due to the easier to reach flap recirculation motor, or something else that avoids having to rip out the...

Hi. I have a 2008 VW Passat. Over the last few months we've had an intermittent issue (maybe once every 50 times the car is driven) whereby the front left wheel gets extremely hot - you can smell it, smoke rises and if you put your hand close to the center of the wheel you can feel that it's...

Greetings, I have a 2003 v6 wagon. The hatch locking mechanism was not always responding to the key chain remote or the driver side switch over the past 6 months. -Last week we had lots of rain over a 5 day period. -The car is parked outdoors. -Last Sunday night the alarm started going off...

This one's been bugging me on & off for a couple of years, but it started up again and I still can't figure it out. You know the sound on a hot summer day where the secondary radiator fan kicks on for some extra cooling power? I get that even when it's 40 degrees outside and the engine is below...

Title sums it up. Hard to restart after stall, and intermitently on *warm* starts. Replaced my CTS, as I noticed the gauge was acting funny. Now gauge works great, but I noticed the coolant temp from the ECM always reads ~94C, fluctuates a few degrees, even after extended driving. Can a...

I have a 2000 V6 with the tiptronic. The speedometer just decided to stop working about 75% of the time. Is there a common cause for this? I did a search and found that other models have a speed sensor that goes bad but it seems that this one has the speed sensor built in to the transmission?

Hello Everyone, 1998, 1.8T, 225.000. Triptronic. Last week, the oil light sign blinked for 10 seconds and then went off. This happened couple of times in heavy traffic in DC, doing 20-30mi/h. Since then the light has not come on. I use 10W-40 Castrol Part Synthetic, and Mann 940/25 oil filter...

I posted about this a few days ago, but didn't get any responses. I just bought a used 99 gls 5 speed a couple weeks ago. I do not have the remote to unlock the doors, so I have to manually put the key in the drivers side door. Sometimes when I put the key in, it power locks/unlocks ALL the...

Allright, I think I know where my problem is for the most part, but as you guys out there are as great as you are (in a truly positive way), I have to get this sorted also here, in case it helps someone plus for my own sanity - i.e. to keep track of things instead of going through them in your...

Hey guys I am new to this forum and am currently a student @ UCI. I need some help and suggestions on how I can fix this problem on my passat. The problem: I just bought a '99 Passat 1.8t A/T from a mutual friend of my sister's for about $1350. (pretty good bargain I believe) I knew that it...

Looking for some advice please!!!! I can communicate with ccm intermittently with VCDS, all aspects other than remote lock/unlock functions...that is elec windows,heated mirrors etc. I can of course unlock with key..all locks functioning correctly. I dont have the water ingress problem on my...

So I searched about A/C problems but thought I would post to see if there was any additional knowledge before I go pulling relays, etc. I have a 2005 1.8t passat sedan with manula AC controls. AC stopped working about a month or so ago, but seems to come on intermittently. Unusally anywhere...

I have to assume the triangle with a circle around icon on the dashboard is the anti slip light, am i right? It all started 2 weeks ago on a bad rainy day. Usually on a cold start, there is no light on, but after a short driving, then turning on and off the engine, sometimes the light comes on...

Well - my run of incredible luck with my '98 had to come to an end up... 228,000 miles with almost no problems. GIAC since 70K. Anyway, the car now dies intermittently. Sometimes it will start right up again, sometimes have to walk away - come back and it starts right up. No CEL, No engine...

Hi All, Our 2002 VW passat's V6 4 motion's climatronix seems to work intermittently. 70% of the times the cooling doesn't work for atleast the first 30 mins. When it finally does start it trips off after working for a while. Sometimes the cooling would start by itself without any problems. But...

My 2002 Passat wagon has a turn signal problem. Three weeks ago my left turn signal started flashing fast about 50% of the time. I suspected that the hazard relay was the problem. After replacing the relay the problem persists only now the relay sometimes makes a buzzing noise. When the left...
