About to take my '00 Passat wagon (GLX V6) in for the big 80k service.
The maint. schedule says "timing belt - check condition" at 80k and
"timing belt - replace" at 105k. Dealer "suggests replacing early",

'01 Passat Tie rod end boots by
Chuck Tribolet
The rubber boots on my GF's ;01 Passat wagon are torn. The dealer's answer is to replace the whole tie rod end (which of course
implies a partial realignment) when all that's bad is the boot. Is there any source for just the boot?

'01 Passat wagon, rear door dummy "lock cylinder housing" wants to fall out. by
Chuck Tribolet
My GF has an '01 Passat wagon. On the driver's side rear door, what the service
manual calls the "lock cylinder housing" wants to fall out. Except that she has keyless
entry, so there's no lock cylinder in the rear doors, and so it's a dummy plug and there's
no screw in the door jamb that would...

'02 Golf DRL swap by
Mr.Eddy
Has anybody considered, or even accomplished changing the DRL on an A4
Golf from using the low beams to using the small, secondary bulb that
resides in the high beam reflector?

'02 Jetta Wagon roof racks by
Craig Faison
OK, call me a cheapskate, but $190 for crossbars (from VW) for the factory
side rails seems high. A quick look shows Yakima and Thule to be only
marginally cheaper.
Any other alternatives?
thanks,

Turn signal problems. My wife just called saying that her 02 Passat
turn signals click, on dash, about 3 times than stop flashing. Is this
a known problem ? Definetly not the fuse.
About 2 months ago the HVAC lights on the dash went dark for 1 day.
