I've read countless posts on different sites and have deduced it's likely either a fuse (which I cannot find) or the switch itself (which...

    Is there a way to have the cigarette lighter socket on the front console switch off when the car is off? My 2006 Passat supplies power to that socket at all times, I just need it to be supplied when the car is on. Many thanks!

    I recently bought a Passat 04 wagon with after market stereo that sounded pretty bad.. The OEM had the Monsoon, because I have the power amp in the rear side compartment. I bought a used Kenwood. I already had the Interface (PAC model C2R-VW2) from the old stereo.. I pulled up the C2R-VW2...

    Starting to hear a whining noise from the PS pump when I turn the wheels end to end. Gonna check the fluid first to see if it is at the proper level. What type of fluid should I buy just in case I need to top it off? Just regular PS fluid or does VW have some special grade that I need t use?

    Tried searching up and down through the forums, info-base, and rest of the web to no avail. I'm trying to determine if I can replace just the motor for the mirror that is in the housing, without replacing the entire housing (removing the door panel etc.). I replaced the glass on the driver's...

So I'm writing this up, with all the things I wish I'd known ahead of time. (I actually did this on my Audi A6 2.8L, but...
