    Curious to know if anyone has done the one touch rear window up/down mod on the B5? My guess is only the veterans will know about this one. I found a couple of spare master window controllers laying around and thought I'd give it a try. To the best of my knowledge this was only done on the B5.5.

    I live in Europe, therefore I have an Euro-Spec 2004 Passat and I am feeling jealous of your brake lights. In case you don't know what I am talking about let me explain. The euro-spec Passat will only make one of the four bulbs on the tail-light brighter, and US Passat's will make all four of...

    I own a 99 B5 1.8t and it is going to be mine until the wheels fall off! (be careful what you wish for lol). I paid $200 for it and it didn't run at all. It is now my daily driver. I'd like to mod it more and make it more cool looking and less like a piece of scrap metal. Every time I search for...

    Hi all. So, I did the one-touch rear windows mod as outlined in this thread: http://www.passatworld.com/forums/b5-information-base/299554-advanced-modding-101-one-touch-up-down-rear-windows.html Aside from the harness plug not locking into the Chinese switch, it seemed to go well. But, one...

    Has anyone here had first hand experience with installing the B5.5 front end on a B5? I just did the swap and the fenders do not bolt up where the fender meets the side of the hood. The holes are not matching up and the radiator support sits about a quarter inch lower than required in order to...

    Hi guys.... Our engine cover had seen better days and was cracked and broken here and there so I decided to delete the engine cover and keep the stock intake runner. I used copious amounts of epoxy and bonded cut panels I made from the cover to close in the runner and filter box. Here are the...

    Hi all, I have looked for this DIY with pics and the thread is so old the pics don't work. I made my own design based on the description in the other writeup, using a single larger duct rather than two small ones. It will have a slight ram-air effect because I'm adding a scoop collector to the...

    I was looking to reprogram my Passat b5's CCM that would allow me to roll windows up/down using the key fob. However, VDS-PRO needs a serial port to work, and unfortunately my only old computer with a serial port was donated last year before my move down here from the Great White North. No one...

    With all of the latest gadgets requiring a USB port to charge, I decided to add two dual USB ports to the rear of the console in my recently acquired 2012 B7 Passat SE. Taking a queue from a number of other Passat owners, there were plenty of good tips on adding a 12v outlet insert. I rarely...

    Did F4D Lighting just scam me $199? Good evening, I recently went to Home - F4D Lighting and saw they had the LED inner tails for sale. I figured for $199.00 I might as well jump on it as I know for a fact that it's something I myself will never get around to doing. On August 6, 2014 I made...
