Search Results for ‘searched’

I think I'm using the wrong terms for my searches but I am looking for the plastic interior trim pieces that are in the hatch/cargo area. My plastic pieces are fine but they are grey and I want black pieces. My neighbor brought up a good point that VW usually puts black at the top of the dash...

Hey guys, first-off yes I have searched. My 2003 Wagon has 120,000 miles on it and the struts need to be replaced. I've pretty much settled on Bilstein's for the struts so that's taken care of. But unfortunately in my search results most of the threads are quite old. In one of those old results...

Hi all, I promise I've searched every corner of this site for my particular problem, but I've come up with nothing. I had the usual electrical problems, so I replaced the CCM and plugs/wiring. Everything now works, except the windows. I've replaced fuses 14 and 9, and checked the two underneath...

Ill post links below of the 2 kits im looking at and input on which looks like it will fit better would be appreciative thanks...

I think I'm just being a dumba**, but I can't seem to find where this pipe/hose goes to. I'm getting misfire codes in all cylinders/very rough idle. There are probably more vacuum leaks as well. The brutal cold doesn't fare well with the hard plastic 90* fittings. If you could please...

Hello all! I just bought my first 1.8t car, a 2001 Passat. I daily drive a mk1 Diesel so this car is for my wife to scoot around in. But I've already run into some trouble. It threw a CEL yesterday and gave me a "Emissions Workshop" read out. So I pulled the codes and got a P0442 (I think) for...

My wife ripped out the window switch while trying to raise the window. How do I pry off the switch console to swap in a new one? I've searched and none of the window switch DIYs have pictures or explain that part. TIA

I have a b5 aeb 1.8t passat. I recently replaced clutch master cylinder. Once I got it back on the road it started misfiring. Took it to get code read. Misfire in cylinder #2. . The break down : it has no power in the lower rpms. I have to rev up to 3500 to take off or it dies out. And it...

Everyone knows the infamous A8L wheels (turbines) they are 19x8.5 with a 40mm offset. I searched around but I got rid of my BBS Rs's and I am planning on buying a set of the A8's. All I really need to know is can they be ran without a spacer and without rubbing on the top of the strut assembly...

If I have missed something so blatantly obvious than please feel free to flame away. My passat wagon is on some 19" HRE's and kW V2's. With the 19's I have plenty of clearance to go lower. Problem is the rear is as flush as it gets and I cant go any lower without somehow adding a little negative...

Hey guys, So I left my lights, killed the battery and now here we are. I've got the p1545 in a 99 1.8T Passat Avant with over 201,000 miles on it. You guys have helped me immensely in keeping this thing on the road with multiple coolant flange replacements, thermostat replacements, and even a...

Noticed the front end humming and shook the wheel, bearing was shot. So my buddy had an 82mm bearing from his old A4 he sold in september 2012, gave it to me for free. Was a GMB 700-001, pressed it in and ever since, I've had some weird issues. Drove it with STOP ABS Fault, worked fine until...

Hi, My 2004 GLS Wagon has had a intermittant leak from the washer fluid tank in the last 2 years. It seems to go away in the summer and comes back for winter. Now the tank has emptied onto my garage floor and the washer fluid warning chime is sounding with each start up cycle :banghead: Last...

I am currently having a problem with the power windows on my 2001 Passat V6 4Motion. While driving the windows will barely work, go down or up a few millimeters at a time. This happens on all windows, fronts and rears. The odd thing is when the car is stopped there is no issue. I have replaced...
