    Hi all! I bought a 2000 Passat 1.8T over the weekend and didn't check the horn or steering wheel controls until the drive home. After some research this morning on this site, I traced the issue to the #5 fuse. In fact, the fuse was missing when I initially checked. Popped a new fuse in, blew...

    I have a 2000 1.8l with a manual transmission. It seems to run fine but P1136 keeps coming up. I will clear the code but after about 20 minutes its comes back on. It also has a whining sound when you first start it up cold. It lasts for about 30 seconds or so, then goes away.

    My 2000 V6 Passat has been giving me something to do year after year for the last 5 years or so. Last year it was the alternator, this year it seems to be the A/C pulley, or clutch, or whatever you wanna call it. So, my belt popped off, I noticed it because it killed my charging system throwing...

    My 2002 1.8T has been getting a recurring P0420 CEL a couple times per month. Car hasn't been running rough, no misfires, no other codes. Either I will clear it with the Vag-Com, or it will go away by itself. Either way, it keeps coming back. The car seems to have the normal amount of power...
