outside

I have a 2005 tdi wagon. Like many people, my door handle stopped opening from the outside. I read online that the mechanism gets caught and by slamming the door and/or fiddling with the child safety lock, you can get the piece to pop back into place without taking the door apart. I tried this...

Hi, I retrofitted a B5.5 FIS cluster (3B0 920 847) to my 2000 B5 Passat which originally contained an MFA cluster (3B0 920 922). I have changed the EEPROM of the new cluster to that of an MPH (3B0 920 947) and I have done the necessary soft coding and key matching. The cluster works fine...

Newbie I am. This is my second post. Trying to figgerout if it's possible to completely seal off outside air. I'm very sensitive to auto exhaust I've discovered. :(

For sale is a set of Passat outside mirrors with integrated turn signal. These only came on some 2004 models and all 2005 models. I have 2 sets. One is silver (reflex silver I think) and one is grey (can get paint code if needed. I also have one set of pluges with 6" of wire I can include on...

I replaced the drivers door window regulator and now the drivers door won't open from outside after being locked and unlocked. If I get out of the car and close the door, it will open just fine from the outside. If I lock the door with the key fob, then un-lock the door with the key fob, the...

As you know on B5 Passat using key in door lock & holding in lock/unlock position will close/open windows. Since a CC has no actual lock - how is this accomplished - Its a friends car & I don't have access to manual, he is missing this feature as his Altima would do this. Thanks Jeff

So today I was looking under car and notices their is alot of oil all over the hoses and the diverter valve area. Does anyone know where I should start looking for...

How much will outside temperature effect the gas millage? My '08 2.0T reaches full operating temp (200 deg) at about 3 miles regardless of the outside temp. When it’s below 32 deg the millage drops to 28 MPG on my 18 mile trip to work, but I get 34 to 35 MPG when it’s above 32 deg. Should I...

How much of these cars is made by outside suppliers and not by VW themselves? Just curious.

The other day, while I was unlocking my car doors I started pulling on the handle of the Drivers side. Now the driver side door won't open from outside the car. If I am inside the car it will open but nothing from the outside and this is only the Driver side. I tried taking the plastic piece off...

I replaced my driver side door actuator; everything worked great for a few days, I have not heard my alarm since and got my door chimes backs. Recently, I cannot open the door from inside or outside. What I know is: 1. The remote raises and lowers the lock knob. 2. Both cables are still...

I have had the STOP Brake Warning flashing since I bought the car 2 years ago. Anytime it freezes, the screen displays everything that it should display. After the car gets to operating temp, the STOP warning comes back on again. Anyone ever encounter this problem? Know a solution? Thanks...

Can someone please tell me the fuse location for the rear view outdoor mirror movement? The up/down/left/right control just stopped. I'm hoping it's just a fuse. Thank you.
