    I have a 2005 tdi wagon. Like many people, my door handle stopped opening from the outside. I read online that the mechanism gets caught and by slamming the door and/or fiddling with the child safety lock, you can get the piece to pop back into place without taking the door apart. I tried this...

    .... and I don't care!! :) I dread the Passat doors, and only a regulator or regulator clip breaking would force me back in. Properly dealing with the water seal is the biggest bitch. I use that 3M strip caulk, which works great, but is horrible to manage. It's such weird behavior, it used...

    When I went to unlock the car with the key, it was very hard to turn it. I was afraid I was going to break the key. I finally got it to the up/down position and could get it out. Now the door will no unlock from outside or inside. I was able to get in from the passenger side. When I try to...

    Hi everyone, Having some issues with my Passat (2000 V5 2.3L) this issue happened few months ago, where one morning the car just would not start. It cracked just fine but had no intention to start, removing a cable and grounding a spark plug showed that no spark was being made. Then two days...

    Have a 2000 Passat 1.8L. Car has been pretty good for the last couple years. My son broke off the knob on the power mirror adjustment switch so I ordered another one. Carefully pulled the door panel and disconnected the wiring. Pulled the switch out and put the new one in and then...

    Update: Sorry my bad. I checked the wrong bulbs. Both the dual filament bulbs were busted for the brake light filament portion. Got new bulbs and the brake lights are back on. In case, someone else had this problem, the bulb size I got at AutoZone was 7725 (12V 21/4W). Today I was told that...

    I just recently ran into the problem where I turn ON the heater and it heats up but then you cannot turn the heat off. The temperature knob has not effect, it stays hot. The fan control works fine, the A/C works fine. I have to either turn the fan all the way OFF or turn the system OFF. If I...

    Saw a similar thread on this, but answers were all over the place. Hoping to see if anyone has had the same issue or confirmed a fix... 2000 Passat Engine: 3 Li V6 has been running great since I got it in March. Check engine light has always been on for Thermostat issue, but still ran fine...

    I've been working for the last few weeks on updating my GW and CCM so I can retrofit the Discover Media Headunit among other things. nycdub2 has provided me with great levels of help to get everything properly completed to this point. Everything is working as before when I had the original GW...

    My wife broke the wiper switch off at the stalk on our 2003 Passat 1.8t. Evidently she was very angry that it was raining. So I went and got a new switch from the junkyard (since its the "multi function" switch with the switch on the side its $250 new or $10 from the junk yard), got the airbag...

    Heh-Lur! I own a 03 Passat wagon and my rear hatch/trunk wont open from the inside when I hit the trunk switch on the door. I always have to turn off my car and open the back manually with my key which is annoying as heck especially after I've driven my car and I have to immediately remove...

    Hello everyone, I've joined here to get some info. The rear left door on my 1999 Passat variant won't unlock, there's no way to open it. It once got locked, and never unlocked, just so. I've tried some tricks, but none worked. I wish I could open it with any kind of trick because when you...

    I say thump for lack of a better word. It shakes the car but only once, just like a misfire, but one time. I've spent most of the past two weeks trying to figure this out, but with no luck. I've searched these forums as well as other VW forums with to avail as well. I got the codes pulled (I do...

    I have a 2003 Passat GLX Wagon with a rear cd changer -- owned for about a week when I discovered it has a cd changer in the back above the wheel well. It didn't have a changer cartridge which I found online, loaded it up, but it doesn't work. I think there is no power to the changer unit so I...

    Hey guys, once again here with my noob self. I have a 1999 passat 1.8t that loves to give me a headache. I'll give the car gas and it'll rev up to like 1.5k and then drop back down to like 500. If I repeatedly press the gas, it'll occasionally go past the 1.5k. The higher I rev, the lower it...
