I have had problems with my lift gate button. One push sometimes won't close the door. Any way to make it work all the time?

’00 Passat 4Mo wagon After years of having a wagon liftgate that opened fine but would not lock, I decided to replace the actuator, which has a stuck piston. The original part number is 3B0959781, and I found a new Hella (OE) replacement with a revved part number of 3B0959781C. I transferred...

I looked and searched but couldn't find the answers to the following questions: (1) Will B6 wheels fit a B5? :confused: I have a set of Monte Carlos from a 2008? Passat I'd like to put on a 2001 wagon with 15s. The Montys are 17x7.5" with 225/45R17s on them. Or maybe they are 235s? I will try...

The lock on my wagon liftgate will not engage right away. If I press the middle remote button (or the door button) and then pull on the handle switch, the door opens normally, but upon shutting the rear liftgate, I can immediately grasp the handle and tug on it again, and the switch will...

The hatch release/pressure-switch on the rear lift-gate appears to have developed a short. The remote and door-panel release switch both seem to unlock the hatch, but if I depress the release/pressure-switch above the license plate, fuse #14 blows and I'm left without windows/locks/etc...

What's the part number or even just the name of the exterior rubber trim piece about 2.5 mm wide, running the horizontal length under the rear hatch glass between the glass and the painted tailgate. Mine has cracked and I'd like to replace. ECS and google shoots me blanks. Any diy / McGyver...

I would appreciate if anyone with the knowledge would shed some light on this issue. What are the body shell (and hardware related to body shell) differences between an 1.8T wagon, a 2.8 V6 (FWD or 4Motion) wagon, and V8 (or W8 as it is referenced) wagon, if for that matter are any? I am...

How the @#! do I remove the complete lock mechanism from my 99 wagon tailgate? I've got the retaining nuts off for both lock mech and outer handle, and it moves around quite a bit but not off. how do I separate lock cylinder? I am replacing the actuator, which sees voltage but piston is not...

I noticed the other day that the liftgate on my 1999 wagon does not lock with the central locking system anymore. I noticed it when, not realizing the rest of the car was locked, I opened the liftgate and the alarm went off. (I have some experience with the door lock mechanisms, but not the...

Help. I noticed that the right strut on my wagon lift gate was loose. I could see threads, so I tried to tighten the bolt at the body end of the strut. The nut came off and now I am in trouble. I removed the trim panel, but can't figure out how to put another nut on the bolt at the end of...

Anyone have steps/pics/drawings of the proper way to get the liftgate apart? I've got a rear-view camera to install (takes place of one plate light) and from the looks of it, I've got to take apart the interior of the gate to get at it properly (removing the two screws and lense/bulb isn't enough).

Since I added my bumper filler to my variant, the liftgate is heavier and the stock struts don't do a good job of holding the gate up. Its not falling down, it just doesn't have the oomph I had prior to the instal. Does anyone know a part that is more heavy duty that would fit in the factory...

I did a search and found the write-up for fixing the liftgate switch; found in this write-up: Liftgate Switch Write-up The switch/mechanism on my 2004 has stopped working. The rubber coated switch is in a permanently depressed state (no mental health jokes). The only way I can open the...

B5.5 Variant Liftgate Trouble - SOLVED! ANY help would be appreciated! Symptom: Remote does not unlock the liftgate. (Neither remotes). Liftgate release on driver's door unlocks the Liftgate, but Liftgate will not open all the way - it pops, and then seems to be stuck on a secondary latch...

Hi all, One of the most annoying things about our Varient is that to open the rear liftgate, you must either hit the button on the remote, or open the drivers door and trip the release. I can not tell you how annoying this is when you are trying to pack the car for a trip. All those last...
