I have a 01 beatle and what piece of work! The press release button has broken off and now the headlight release lever wont push up any one with the same problem? How do you get the headlight out to change the bulb? Thanks

Hey, just thought I'd give you guys first dibs on my 1984 Scirocco. I absolutely loved this car when I drove it. This one only has 130,000. It needs some annoying stuff on the inside like power window switches. The odo doesn't work anymore and the clutch might need replacing in the next 10,000...

I finally had to replace the brake light switch myself due to VWA's inaction. The one that I swaped out was first replaced in the recall last year. The one that they replaced it with is black. The new one I bought is purple. Would that mean they never replaced it in the recall? What are the...

anyone have experience-good or bad--with "remote" oil drain valves? real pain getting the NB high enough to remove the lower cover, and afraid neighbors would complain about missing pets if i put a grease pit in the driveway. tia, rick.

If I go from 16" wheels to 18" wheels, will I notice a difference in fuel economy?

early model 2001 Passat GLX V6 30V will not start. It is behaving as though it is not getting fuel. According to my wife, it started at first this morning but only ran for 3 seconds. After that, it would crank but not kick over. I tried the car after work and I got a momentary sputter but...

Hi All, I bought a 2002 Passat a while back and got the CPO warranty. It is about to expire (in the next few monthys) due to milage. I've gone a few rounds in the VW site. Does anyone know of a link or site that details an extended warranty? I get SPAM that touts "extended warranty for any...

Just found out last night that Rainer Wetzling passed away Wednesday the 16th, at the age of 64. Any of you in PG County/College Park MD/DC area may remember Rainer's as one of the best VW shops in the area. He retired about a year and a half ago and the business got sold to some folks much more...

How long does it take for an engine to cool down??? If you scroll down the Topic list, you'll see the saga of my overheating Passat. The dealer could find nothing wrong, and since then I drove it three days without a problem. Until tonight. The thermostat needle pegged to the right and the...

Hi, My 99 Passat's glovebox latch broke and it won't open. How can I get it open so that I can see what to fix (and remove its contents)? The dealer service dept doesn't seem to know either -- they wanted more than $250 to replace the door! Call me crazy but I took it in -- but they couldn't do...

Hi. A week ago I woke up with a car that had no central locking (pump does not operate) and had all windows down. I thought they tried to steal it, but found later no signs of damage. So now, alarm works, windows work (and go up and down from the key) but central locking does not. Either from the...

Has any TDI owners had a problem like this one? Any advice or inputs would be most appreciated. Is an injection pump replacement a common occurence? The car has 125,000 miles and I changed the fuel filter about 10,000 miles ago. If I have no other option but to replace the injection pump, is...

Just had my safety inspection and it did not pass. I need to get the rear wheel cylinder replaced I guess - doh! Shortly after though, my generator light has come on. Could something have happened at the shop? I called them back and they said the emissions test was all done by computer so they...

Most VW dealers are not of much help when it comes to Vanagons. Try finding a private repair shop that specializes in them. There is a good list at www.roadhaus.com. Also, search the vanagon.com archives for postings on this subject (archives are kind of hidden under the mail list link).
