The transmission had lots of problem during the cold winter time, mostly started in the limp state in the morning, sometime went into the limp state when switching to the reverse gear, sometimes it even caused the check engine light to lit up, but all these went away now that the temperature is...

Coming down the highway yesterday, the car locked all its doors. I hit the unlock button and it relocked instantly. Now it's locking all the time. I figure it's probably the CCM wiring under the seat as my dome light has never worked since I got the car. Sound about right, Or do I have a bigger...

During rainy or damp weather the trunk lid opens by itself on my 2007 Passat 2.0 T. I suspect water or dampness is getting into the VW trunk handle and shorting something out. Any help would be appreciated before I go tearing into anything! Thx.

Yesterday I went to my car Saturday afternoon. It cranked but did not start. I repeated a few times without success. Got a friend to come over to give me a boost. That did not work no matter which way we tried. Give up and call AAA. AAA shows up an hour later. We go to the car and it starts...

Hi everyone So I poured over past posts and can't find any info on my problem that I had last night. Long story short. 01 Passat Triptonic I forgot to put the car in park in my drive way (it's level), Set the E-brake, left it running. Ran inside to grab my phone and when I came out the car...

as stated . it seems to be steering wheel related . anyone with a similar event . its kind of embarrassing , people in front of me getting the horn for no reason . more frequent on turning . straight lines not so much . i may have to disconnect it but that's dangerous .

So, I'm having a weird problem with my 2006 Passat 2.0T. My computer system keeps randomly resetting itself while I'm driving. All of my dashboard lights will come on, the gauges will drop, and everything re-sets (clock, trip meter, and sometimes the fuel gauge is incorrect for a few minutes)...

Hi guys! I have a little problem with my Passat 2004. When i drive , after around 5 minutes the ESP light turns on on the dashboard. And when I press the ESP button it doesn't help. The button is dead, I can't either turn the ESP on or off by pressing the ESP button. When I scan the car to...

Orange you glad this is not in your driveway?:P

Started Saturday morning at 7:30. I heard my mother-in-law saying that she had gotten up at about 2:30am and found that that my daughter's 01 Passat GLS 1.8t headlights (DRL's) and wipers were on, by themselves! I went out to the car at 7:30am and found the DRL's on, the wipers were on and...

2003 1.8T Wagon, no mods except trailer lights which haven't worked for years. For 12 years, I drive home, put the keys on the dash, exit the car. For the last couple weeks, the battery has sounded weaker when starting, but it's winter. Two weeks ago, after not driving the car for 3 days, I...

2001 B5 Variant I had he water ingress issue about a year and a half ago. I replaced the CCM and respliced much of the harness. All was well for quite some time until one day the horn horn just starting blowing by itself. Usually I could hit the horn and it would stop and that was that. Well it...

Just like the title says. Goes off by itself at any time it wants to. What should i do?

Bought my '01 V6 4Mo Variant 2 weeks ago. Last Tuesday my check engine light came on for "emissions workshop". Had it scanned @ autozone on Monday. P1176. Haven't gotten around to doing any investigation other than looking up online what may be causing it. Then today I noticed that the...

About a year ago it came on with P0421. I decided to live with it and make sure I had the codes read and cleared every oil change. It has been the only code that sticks around. I had my car jumped for the second time this winter (i'm told the battery is still charged though.. only a year old)...

I need help. When my mother bought this car for me about 3 years ago, I had complained that the Check Engine light was on. So what does the mechanic do? TAKE THE BULB OUT! I'm wondering, is this an expensive job? How long would it take? I've failed inspection every time because of this...

My friend told me his 2001 A4 learns and adapts itself according to the way he drives ? Is it true ? True with the Passat ?

Hi, I want to start to apologies for my english, if I use the wrong terminology for some part, please correct me or ask if it is unclear what I mean. I had my 2000 year model Passat TDi (85kW) in on service with timing belt and ribbed V-belt change and A/C service (it has the climatronic). Two...
