    Where has the time gone? My last post was YEARS ago... My time is not my own anymore. :( Anyway, wish this could come at a happier juncture, but the wife has declared the Passat 'too old', and forced me to buy a new car. Though I pondered over a few used BMWs and Audi A/S4s, I decided to bite...

    None of my interior lights (map, mirror, dome, etc) are working. My daughter blew the fuse for the cigarette lighter and I replaced it. Not sure that is related. I can't find a blown fuse, but there are 3 fuse boxes and none of my manuals have the correct layout. The cigarette fuse is the small...

    My VAG-COM won't connect to my 2001 Passat 1.8T. It was working just fine. I went to connect it up to figure out why I all of a sudden I had an Air Bag light come on and I can't read anything. I have not had any other issues or dash error lights come on until yesterday. I got in the car in...

    The lock on my wagon liftgate will not engage right away. If I press the middle remote button (or the door button) and then pull on the handle switch, the door opens normally, but upon shutting the rear liftgate, I can immediately grasp the handle and tug on it again, and the switch will...

    I recently had the engine replaced in my 2005 Passat 2.8L and the speedo and odometer are no longer working when they worked prior to the change. I checked to see if the speed sensor on the tranny was on properly and it was. What else could it be and does the engine change have any effect on it.

    04 Passat with the single CD and tape player. All the hi-range speakers work but sound gritty. The lower speakers in the doors fade on and off. The drivers speaker works, doesn't fade on and off but sounds torn. I have tried adjusting the fade and left and right and doesn't seem to fix...

    I live in Texas and we have about 7 days a year when it gets really cold in the 60's. My heater never worked and it was bypassed as the inlet pipe was cracked. At the time I replaced the timing belt, I repaired the pipe and added the piping back. New coolant and no heat My options were to be...

    So, on my way home from work the other day my cruse control would not function and between shifts the RPMs would hang or remain higher than normal. After some diagnostics (which I charged myself $99) I found a little white button laying on the carpet. And I thought I think I know where that came...

    Got a friend from work who brought his car over with a STOP condition on it tonight. Before it got to me, it was at a local garage. They pulled the bottom oil pan section off and said the engine was junk. But they would not explain why and then did him a favor by only charging $315 to diagnose...

    Looking for a bit of help! When I start my passat in the mornings the front brakes don't work at all. The pedal feels totally fine. Sometime I can hear/feel a mechanical 'clicking/grinding' sound from somewhere under the car towards the rear. After about 400 meters or so the brakes start to work...

    I recently purchased VW Passat 2006 LUX edition with Dynaudio system. It only had one owner and the car was taken care of VERY well. Everything was running great until I've decided to install a better stereo instead a very basic CD radio. I took car to a professional shop to have them install it...
