Hello, I am new to the community but I could not find a post on this issue. I have a 99 passat 1.8T 5 speed. Randomly the ABS light and brake light come on my dash and beep three or four times at me. I checked the codes with our snap on scanner at the shop and it said intermittent ABS...

Hi, I searched the forum but I am not sure I have the same issues I have read or not. My car is in the garage and my alarm just went off. I thought maybe the cats had gotten my keys and pressed the alarm by accident but they weren't moved. I went out to my car and unlocked it and opened and shut...

Hi everyone. First post here. Recently bought my first VW. A B6 2007 2.0 Tdi Passat. It randomly drops revs, no dash lights, can happen in any gear (tends to stall the vehicle if in 1st). Changed the fuel filter today and added redox diesel cleaner. No success, went out for a blast and it cut...

Hello all, I've got an 05 Passat and one of our key FOB's just all of a sudden stopped working. We had just chalked it up to a dead battery so we just didn't use it for a long time. It still starts the car fine, it just doesn't work the locks with the buttons. So today I swapped the battery and...

2002 Passat 1.8t automatic. 190k miles. She said last week her check engine light was on and the car died at an intersection . She said it started back up and drove it for several days before it died again just randomly. I drove the car a few years before she got it and had similar issues...

Ok guys first post on here and I tried searching for a similar issue but no luck. I just finished up the timing belt and water pump on my 03 B5.5 2.8 and after a while I started noticing whenever I put it in drive the motor tries to jump out of the engine bay and even while driving sometimes the...

Hello, I was driving home from work today and on the way back i had to pass someone, so put the car in Tip downshifted into fourth no problem and passed the other car. As I upshifted from 4th to 5th the car started to go back and forth on its own, downshifting and upshifting until I let off the...

Is there any basic hints for what is the cause of this? (it appears that brake booster comes on by itself and stays on for some time). The car is 2000 1.8T ATW, converted from Automatic to Manual by vwshloman and associates and now owned by me. In most aspects, this vehicle is quite awesome...

Hey guys I'm new to the forum I got a 1999 passat 1.8t 5 speed about a month ago and love it! Last night on my way home I had cruise control on and I had my subs going but not to loud and I looked at my spedometer and my cel randomly turned on the car felt like it sputtered then it went off and...

Hi all. I have a 2004 Highline Passat 1.9tdi. About 1 month ago when using my key fob the hazzard lights stopped flashing when locking the car. I can still hear the car locking but no lights flashing. In the past few days the alarm has started going off when the car is locked up to about 8...

Another wet autumn, another winter around the corner and just as last year, alarm goes off by it self on my 2002 V6 4Motion Passat. There is no pattern, it just started doing it very often 7 out of 10 times 20-30 seconds after I lock the car. I have solved all water ingress problems, on doors...

Hey guys, has anyone come across this before? I'm starting to rethink naming my 2000 B5 Christine... Anyway, fixed the window regulators a few weeks ago, and now the car has a mind of its own. open driver's side door from outside: all four windows roll down. Put in park, turn off ignition...

So here is a good one! The turn sign sound (click click) has started coming on on its own. Fast slow stop... Slow... Stop... Fast...) I assume the sound making component is going bad right? Sent from AutoGuide.com App

A little history first. 2001 B5.5 1.8T with a EZS tiptronic, 175k. I just bought the car and let my wife take it on a long drive against my better judgement as the tranny had a leak. 1500 miles later and a few miles from home, there is no reverse but she gets home. I drop the pan, fix the...

Hoping to find some help here - my 99 passat has become very temperamental. There have been about 5 times in the last month that I've driven it about 20 or 30 miles, parked somewhere - been inside for 1-2 hours, then tried to start it and it wouldn't start. After waiting about another hour or...

So today when I was driving with a couple of friends my oil pressure light went off randomly. It shut off after about twenty minutes, then continued to randomly turn on for the next half hour about every 3 minutes. I checked the oil the moment it went off and it was perfectly fine halfway...
