    Hey folks, my B5 '98 has got 150k miles on it and the clock and odometer displays doesn't show any digits. It's been like that for a while and the explanation from my godfather was something like "I had this tech-savy guy help me fix the instrument cluster due to the ABS and SRS lights flashing...

    I recently acquired an '02 Passat 1.8T Wagon (auto) w/ 175k miles in really nice shape (runs and shifts flawlessly, not even a door ding) except that the oil pressure light flickers above about 2500rpm. It needs an ABS module, but other than that, it's great. I assumed (dumb, I know), it was...

    I've searched this forum but didn't find anything... So I'm interested in installing the Sun Screen Shade / Screen in a 2004 Passat sedan -- the screen that you pull upward through a slot in the parcel shelf, and then, when the screen is fully extended to the top of the back window, you secure...

    I have a new 2017 Passat SEL Premium with the Fender "infotainment" system. Sooooo much better than the older RNS-510 in my previous TDI. Anyway, I've noticed that you cannot access certain menus - sound settings, checking new messages, etc - if the car is in motion. I get a standard warning...

    After reading everything I could find about living with a W8, I've just gone ahead and bought a 2 owner auto Wagon/Estate with 67,000Km on the clock from Japan. It's a Grade 4.5 with independent Japan AAA certification and I ended up paying only $2200USD for her as the car sales were trying to...

    On my 2015 Passat, Wolfsburg Edition, just recently my screen on my radio changed when backup view is engaged. Before I had a full screen view, but now I have about 3/4 view of whats behind me, and in the screen to the right is a return arrow which takes up the remaining screen. If I hit the...

    I have searched for new replacement MFD red lcd screen for my 2006 Passat and found one overseas for $92 and in MN-USA for $135. I was wondering if it is possible to buy a used cluster and just swap out the MFD, so I can keep mileage and not have to reprogram immobilizer? I found several...

    Hi all, I recently changing the TB/water pump/etc. and replaced the cam chain tensioner gaskets, valve cover gaskets, and pads on my '03 Passat. The engine sounded fine and everything is good. I had one check engine light caused by not plugging in the MAF sensor. Did this, cleared it. No...

    I recently retrofitted a backup camera with emblem on my passat 2010 b6 rcd510 26pin. I had some problem fixing the emblem with camera,as it was a little bit bigger than the space it should fit in inside. The stengthening bar of the trunk had to be bent a little to fit the camera. Anyway the...

    Hi all, Just wondering if anyone came across this issue with a 2009 B6 Estate. Just happened out of the blue and I checked fuses etc but everything is intact. Any help or pointers gratefully appreciated. Thanks in anticipation...

    I am looking to change my standard radio in my 14 Passat 1.8 TSI to a Screen radio if its possible. Will doing this need any extras? Will I need a navigation module, a different Bluetooth module? Also, will I loose my steering control module controls? Will the same harness work from the radio...

    In this thread I read that the OP has tried the ‘10ga stranded wire trick’ which made things better for a few months. Does anyone know what this trick is? Is it really possible to access the oil pickup screen with a wire and clean it without dropping the oil pan? Thanks :)

    I removed the Camshaft Adjuster Unit (cam chain tensioner) on my 1.8T AUG engine to change leaking gaskets. While cleaning under side, I notice the filter screen is broken. I looked in the part chart, and don't see the screen as a separate part. I am not willing to pay $650 for a new...

    I'm about to upgrade my 2005.5 1.8t AWM Passat with a Kenwood DDX271 Double Din Touch Screen Receiver. Can anyone comment on how these or any stereos with a touch screen react in large temperature ranges. In Calgary we get -28 C to +33 C. I have an underground parking stall at my condo so that...

    This doesn't always happen. But from time to time the MFA will become an unreadable red block. Any chance this is a simple fix? I can hope, right?

    Hello, Is there no way to use a camera off some sort, maybe fiber optics or other to see the oil p/u screen through the oil drain hole w/o having to drop the pan? Thanks!

    I'm talking about the red one that displays all you MPG or when something is wrong. Alright so I read that VW are notorious (could be only in our passats) on having the problem of when its too hot you cant read anything but can only see the screen fine when it's cold. Is there anyway to have...
