Hi all. I have a 2001.5 V6 Passat. The signal light on the left stayed on after using the remote to lock the car in warm weather during the summer. I used to be able to resolve the problem by pressing the remote a few more times. However, today, both left and right signal lights stayed on and...

2002 Passat Wagon GLS 1.8T, 85K miles Owned and driven for about 10 years. The car performs normally when running and driving. But... When I turn off the key switch, the ABS and BRAKE lights on dashboard turn on, the engine remains running for a couple of seconds before shutting off, and...

I ended up selling my passat a few years ago to try and "expand my horizons" which included a ford escape (big mistake) and an is300. I won't even discuss the escape but the is was alright just didn't have the feel I was looking for. In the end of all this I picked up an 03 a4 avant.

So this is something weird that been happening for quite some time now. A few years ago I lost my only key and payed someone an arm and a leg to make a new one. Since then from time to time my car would stay on when I turn off the ignition and I would have to play with the brakes for it to turn...

Has anyone had this problem? when I lock my doors on my 2001.5 Passat with remote the horn sounds once and the tail lights and side marker lights flash once then go off. This is what us supposed to happen. Now when I lock the car with the remote the drivers tail light and side light remain on...
