Volkswagen Passat Club

Hi - when turning a corner yesterday there was a slight noise from steering column area and all the steering wheel electrical controls failed - air bag light error, no horn, no computer control, no stereo volume control. I assume this is a fuse blown but which one and where?? And any ideas on what might have caused this fault? The rest of the car works fine..

I own a 2010 vw passat, I have 2 car keys for this car, On one key the car opens but does'nt lock, the other key locks but does'nt open....How can i fix this ?

Hi, hope someone can help me with this one. I have a 2018 2.0l TDI Passat with a DSG box. The service intervals are set to fixed servicing. The problem is, I am getting no where near a year or the 10k miles. It is currenty asking for a service at around 6 to 7k miles. Can I get this changed to flexible serving and use long life oil? I do roughly about 15k per year with mixed driving. Cheers

Is it hard to replace thrust bearing

Hi, anyone have a part number for a front anti roll bar for a passat b6 2009 2.0 TDI, thankyou.

Came to vehicle yesterday and car started fine but clock and mileage trip /range etc had reset to zero . Anybody come across this before ?

Hi, I have a Passat B7 estate, blue motion. It has climate control, due side. Can anybody tell em how climate control works? When i set a temperate, say 22 degrees, will it adjust the total air temp to 22 in the cabin, or will it blow out air at that temperature. If the first option, would you expect if it was really hot in the car, left in the sun all day, and you set it to 22, it woudl be cool air blowing as the inside cabin temp is higher than 22, or would it still slow warm air at 22 degrees? Hope that makes sense

Hi all. I have an 08 Passat TDI estate.I've had an advisory on last mot to get bushes replaced on front lower wishbones both NS and OS. Some mechanic said the bushes can be replaced on the wishbones, another guy today said the bushes can't be replaced and I have to replace the whole lower Wishbone minus the ball joints. Which is correct please? Also if the job is done would tracking be counted as part of the rectification after installation of new wishbones or would that be an additional charge? I've been quoted £300 to replace the lower wishbones. Many thanks. Ess

Having seen that water leaks are common on Passat's I have carried out the recommended actions on my 2004 car and cleaned out the drain hole and replaced the seal around the filter house. Next is to dry out the carpets. I am reluctant to disturb the CCM box as the only issue with the car is the central locking which only works with the manual door lock and the drivers door interior light is not working. Any suggestions please, can I make things worse by touching it and can the current faults be something else within the door CL system. Thank you for any suggestions.

My passat has trouble opening the central locking. The garage replaced key 12 months ago. The key has now intermittently stopped unlocking ( locks ok) but I can unlock it using the other key. a garage reported that the alternate key had failed yo unlock for him . he used the backup method of opening the door. The new key cost £400 + service charge to register it to the car. Is this a common problem? any DIY method of fixing?

Hello all, just changed the anti roll bar bushes, swapped to poly, I was led to believe only 1 nut was flanged on each bracket, turns out both nuts on each bracket are flanged, bit of a pig of a job room wise.

What do I do? Diagnostic show Shift Solenoid “D” performance/Stuck off error code P0766

On checking the outside temperature display on the car, it is showing 60 degrees Celsius! id there any way to reset or do I need to replace the sensor? if I need to replace the sensor, can it be done by myself? Or is it better for a garage to do it? thanks in advance for all help!

hi can anyone help i have 2018 passat how the heck do get the heater to work thanks

VW Passat Estate 2015 - hi, Tyre pressure warning light came on my dash....Center console screen is showing no value for the front right tyre. Initially i assumed it would be sensor or it's battery has failed, but after getting 2 front tyres fitted....the guys checked with their TPMS Tool and said all sensors are good. Worth mentioning that the warning light flashes on start up then eventually goes solid. Diagnostic check shows faulty front right sensor (not communicating) Does anyone have any experience with this ? My thoughts are maybe it's a faulty receiver but why just 1 sensor not reporting back ? Any advise would be great.

The time has come to face the prospect of saying goodbye to what has overall been the best car I have ever owned. With only one very careful previous owner (2 years) it served me for many years until it was retired from service just two years ago, with the intention being to make it a restoration project. I now have to admit that this is not going to happen. I would prefer to find someone who will restore and cherish it but recognise that it may instead need to be an amazing donor car. It has much going for it being mostly corrosion free but does require work to restore. Pretty much everything works but would for sure need new discs and pads all round and a rep…

Can someone tell me what the boot height is from the boot floor to roof? Trying work out if it tall enough for my dog.

Hi all new here, just seeing how many passats came with optional built in child seats in base of rear seats

Hello All, Can't seem to find a definitive answer on this, looking at the brake rotor size on the rear, I come up with two sizes, 282 and 286, my model is a 2.0tdi DSG. Is there a difference to the sizing for the electric parking brake or? Any help would be greatly appreciated, should mention my rims are 16's

We are looking for help for a continuing issue with our VW Passat GTE Hybrid 1.4 2021 reg. Since we have owned it, just 12 months, it has had a recurring issue with the Braking and has been into the dealership a few times to get it checked and every time it has been 'we cant find anything wrong'.I have several very close encounters with pedestrians and being unable to stop at low speed when the vehicle continues to drive/drag forward. Since May the vehicle has had the AA VW Assist out to check this braking problem and they found an intermittent fault with the braking system. The AA also diagnosed an issue with the Differential grinding. So it was taken into the VW dealer…

Hi, trying to find new synchromesh and gearbox parts for 2005 b5.5 passat 1.9tdi 101 bhp. Does anyone know a supplier. many thanks

Hi all - I’m new to the forum and grateful to have found you. I’m hoping to get some advice. Passenger door window on my 55 Reg B6 doesn’t move up or down. (securely stuck in up position) There is power to the motor from driver and passenger door switches as heard by the “click” when pressed. My suspicions are that it is the motor that is faulty and not anything to do with the tracking, cables or regulator. Question:- Can I replace the motor in its place without having to remove the whole metal panel and its components. Are there any risks to the window dropping / smashing if I remove the motor without securing the window first. Any other things I should lo…
