On my 2000 GLS the heated mirrors have never worked in the four years I've owned it. Is it as simple as replacing a fuse? Should a light come on when the heater is activated by centering the mirror adjuster knob and pushing it aft? Beyond feeling the mirror, how do you know it's on?

I had my car aligned and aligned good. Steering wheel angle programmed and what not. I take the car for a drive, steering wheel is straight, not shaking, and no pulling. I was a happy camper, well I took it on the highway and going over 60mph it was pulling to the left. Weird pulling too, but at...

This site wouldn't let me put this thread under VW news, so I chose the B7 section, as new Passats are in this category. Before I get to the current Chattanooga Passat in particular, I'm not your typical Car Lounge "VW is doomed" pessimist, most of which I strongly suspect would like nothing...

So I finally bit on a new set of shoes for my girl. I bent one of my wheels, wheels that are about 5 years old and out of production. So I replaced them with the Drag DR34s, 18x8 all around. I was staggered on 18x7.5/18x8.5. I'll keep the old wheels for my winters, with All Seasons mounted...

Hi all, I have the Passat B5 1.8t which is my second VW. Same as many others here, I do have some problems and knowledge able this car to share. The previous VW that I had is B4 VR6. I love my car but it seems we need a lot of love to maintain them. I am currently in a school in Oklahoma and...

Ok so first question, anyone know where I can get the rubber door lock rod boot that goes into the door pan? Secondly, I replaced my lock actuator on my drivers door, now every once in a while I can't open the door from the outside and have to reach in from the back or open the window and open...

The air conditioning on my B6 Passat never worked as expected ever since I bought it new in 2006. It has a climate control where I set the temperature to LO (lowest setting) and depending on the outside/inside temperature, it can take up to about 30 minutes before I start noticing somewhat...

Well ,still trying to solve this problem , 2004 v6 auto hesitates and stutters between 60-80 km/hr . I ran some sea foam through it knew timing belt water pump , air filter , cleaned maf and it's still doing it. Today I noticed it never stutters on cruise and drives beautifully. So where do I go...

I can confirm that it will work with a B5.5 Passat (it should work with any OBD2 port). I ordered 1, but the seller sent 2 and they told me to just keep the second. I don't have any need for the extra one, so I am selling it. I use the other one whenever I need to read or clear CEL codes (with...

Made the mistake of starting my 02 2.8 at idle for just 30 seconds on a 28 degree night. Next morning it cranked but would not start. At first it acted like it was misfiring (out of time) after repeated attempts it began trying to start and once it ran on for 5 seconds after lots of cranking...
