My recently-acquired (last Feb.) '05 4Motion Wagon with AWM engine and Tiptronic (B5 #5 for me) recently began suffering from symptoms I've seen described here quite a few times: the starter would intermittently fail to energize. The solenoid would click, but it would not move far enough to...

All: Is it normal for the A/C compressor to run all the time? We have had ongoing heat problems and I realized, this evening, that the A/C compressor is running all the time, so the A/C is competing with the heat and, when it's cold out, winning. We've been seeing single digit temps recently...

Like many B5.5 wagon owners in the U.S. and Canada, VW's tailgate "logic" (if you can call it that....) drove me bonkers - having the tailgate always "locked" was, well, beyond annoying. So, I set out on a research project - and, I found out how to change it! With these changes, you can have...

Is there a way to change the lock settings on the 2002 GLS 4mo wagon and the rear hatch lock settings. I turn the key and it unlocks all the doors except the rear hatch. I can use the door switch and it unlocks it. But as soon as I open the hatch and close it the hatch relocks and I have to use...

I was able to make 3 change on my Passat today. (2013 SEL Premium 2.5L) 1. Enabled rain sensing wiper 2. Automatically closing sunroof and windows if there is rain. 3. Closing and opening sunroof with remote. I got the steps from here: Auto closing rain sensing windows and sunroof on...

My B6 Passat has nearly 92000 miles, last week it started to sputter on moderate to heavy acceleration and had a slight rough idle. It was throwing a misfire code on cylinder #4. Ordered a new coil pack ($23) and replaced spark plugs ($45 OEM type double platinum) and all was resolved. I...

Hello all, I'm reaching out one again to you today, weather is good today so I want to try and remove the left heater core hose, just got back from getting some coffee and i immediately went at my car to see if both hoses that connect to the heater core were hot and they were, I suspect a block...

Problem: Turn signals stop working randomly and intermittently. By "stop working" I mean that when I move the lever to Right-Turn-Signal or Left-Turn-Signal, there are no turn signals (outside), no light flashing (on the dashboard), and no clicking noise. When this happens, the Emergency...

Well, the fan started making noise, so I was looking to replace it. Getting the glove box off was a bit of a bear, it didn't want to come out. After getting it out, the gear that rides on the right side glove box door strut just fell out, and it appears that if I put it in again, it will just...

Transmission filter and fluid changed fixed the problem. Many thousand miles since with no CEL and proper clutch operation!

Whenever a door is opened the light on the bottom of the door illuminates and all internal lights come on. However, when I open the drivers side door the lights illuminate for about 1/2 a second and then shut back off rapidly and won't come on unless someone else opens the door. an...
