Passat (B5) :: 2003 - Air Recirculation Button Won't Work?

I bough this car (2003 Passat 1.8 turbo) recently and found that air is coming in on highway even air fan is off. I tried to turn on recirculation button, but it is not working (I can't even press it so it hold in ON position). I have read at some TDI forum that it might be air solenoid, but since my Passat is 1.8, location as I understand is different, But I can't find where it is.

May be I should check a fuse? if so where it is located?

Camry :: Recirculation Button Override

My daughter just replaced her 2006 Camry with a 2007 Camry LE.

Her husband has an issue with smoke, car fumes, etc., so they need to keep the ventilation system in recirculation mode all of the time. They know they can hold the recirculation button in for 2-5 seconds to override the system but that is a pain each time they start the car.

Looking for a way to modify the car so it is always in recirculation mode.

Couple ideas we had were:

1) unplug a vacuum control module (would this throw a code)

2) add a timed relay on the recirculation circuit to automatically simulate holding the button for 5 seconds each time car is started (would need wiring schematic)

Alero :: 2003 Fan Doesn't Work - Cruise Control Dies

For a while now when i would turn my fan on, from off, the lights showing the air inflow, etc. fade out and i get no air intake what so ever. The light is on when the dial is switched into the off position, but when i go from level 1 and up the power dies out. Intermittently it will turn on, but often for brief moments of time. Also when it IS on i get a permanent "cruise" light that stays on however my cruise control doesnt work when this is going on.

The light is just on. When it does decide to work and i turn my cruise control on it works up until my fan dies out again (they are on and off at the same times) and thus, the cruise control dies again. I took apart my heater circuit board in hopes that it would solve the problem, and for about a week it did. However it ceased to work yet again. I went and pulled one from a scrapped car to see if replacing the unit would solve the problem, but this one is not having any better luck.

Phaeton :: AC Recirculation Does Not Work

So after driving my new phaeton for 3 months i realized that my AC re-circulation does not work. When i press the re-circle button , it shows up in the screen. but i don't hear the sounds of the fan any different from deactivating the re-circle. i can smell the bad air from outside even though re-circle is activated.

I believe that the re-circle should function like in other cars. more strong air flow and more colder. Just wondering if it's just the switch that needs to be changed or if there is a valve/door under the dash that I need to look into.

Phaeton :: 2003 - Gearbox Malfunction - OK Button Won't Work On Steering Wheel - TPMS System Not Working

I just bought a 2003 W12 Phaeton with 55.000 km on the clock and a few problems that were knocked off the price.

The car is absolutely fantastic, so much better than my previous 4.2 A8, although I bought with a gearbox problem that dropped the price down to USD 8.000.

The gearbox issue is that it jumps from 1st to 2nd gear with a 'clock' and much harder when the other way around (2nd to 1st). Sometimes so hard that it automatically engages the "safe mode" with the yellow PRNDS sign on the screen. Once on 2nd gear and up, it runs smoothly.

My plan is to take the gearbox off the car and bring it to an expert mechanic on ZF gearboxes, as the VW dealer quotes USD 9.000 for a new gearbox.

Re the other issues, I have plugged in the VCDS after changing both batteries (a standard 90 Ah on the right, a VARTA G14 95 Ah on the left) which show many faults that I can't really identify. The problem I have noticed is that one button on the steering (the OK push button on the right) does not work and when it is pushed, the cruise is deactivated (?). Looks like this module will need to be replaced (VCDS says 'control module defective').

The other issue I have noticed is that the TPMS system doesn't work. On the screen it shows clocks on each wheel... and nothing happens. I guess it's the batteries of the sensors, so I am thinking of replacing them. Would this solve the problem?

I just realized that I did my last VAG-COM check before clearing previous DTCs, so I will do that now and come back to post it.

Touareg :: V10 Heated Steering Button Won't Work

My V10 has the wood steering wheel, and the button to turn heat on and off. I have not been able to get this feature to work. On questioning the dealer they said that this option was not offered in Australia. It seems unlikely to me that a manufacturer would make two types of wood wheel as the production run would be more expensive than just one.

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Button Light Up But AC Will Not Work

Air condition will not work in my car. The A/c button will light up but will not do anything. The fan speed will only work on high and not on the other settings. I mean when I set it on 1-3 it will not kick on the fan. When I switch it to 4 it will kick the fan on but no A/C still even at that setting.

Alero :: 2003 - Loud Humming Sound At 40 MPH+?

Our car is a 2003 2.2L 4 Door. 132,000 miles.

About 3 days ago it started doing this thing where once we hit somewhere between 30-40 mph, it started making a low pitch humming sound. At 40 MPH+ it is very loud. To me it sounds like an airplane, I don't know how else to explain it. There is no shaking, though sometimes I can almost feel the vibration from the humming at my feet. My husband says that the higher the RPM's, the louder and slightly higher pitched the sound is. If we go below 30 MPH it stops.

We were a little late on our oil change and I assumed that was it, but got it changed today and it's still doing it. Other than that, about 2 and a half weeks ago, our rear driver side tire went flat. My husband was in the middle of no where on the way home from work so he used Slime and that fixed it (never went to get it repaired because we didn't have the time and it didn't go flat again).

Could it be that the tires are not balanced correctly because of that, and it is causing the humming?

Also, this may be completely unrelated but: The only other problem we have had/still have with the car is that about 2 years ago we drove from Texas to Nevada, and at one of our stops the coolant dumped out (did not overheat/no other issues). Took it to 2 different shops and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Drove fine until 6 months ago driving from Nevada to New Mexico, it did it again, but this time it also overheated. The mechanic said it was the water pump. Replacing the water pump (which is expensive!) did not fix it, so without consulting us they also changed the thermostat. Charged us for both, told us it was fixed, and about 2 month ago it did it again, but did not overheat/no other issues again. Hasn't done it since...seems it only happens on long drives. Anyway, I don't think it's related, but I thought I'd mention it.

Alero :: 2003 - Driver Side Wheel Getting Hot

2003 Olds Alero.... Just replaced the pads and calipers (changed and bled correctly). The driver's side rotor was ground on the inner surface of the rotor (about a half inch of grind from center). Thought I had a bad caliper so I replaced both sides. Now the rim is getting hot. Not sure if friction from the warn caliper is causing the problem or not. Did some smoking after some heavy braking last night. I'm at a pause whether or not to change the rotor, if that is the problem. I do hear a little noise from the rotor, probably due to the ground rotor.

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Trunk Release Button Won't Work

This morning I noticed my Trunk release button by the steering wheel, and the release button on my key fob won't work. Using the key manually does open my trunk though.

I checked, and it is not in the locked valet mode. I do hear a slight "click" when I push either button so it's trying to pop the trunk but no activity.

What this may be? Didn't know if it might be an electrical issue and if there was a fuse to check? Or if maybe it's a mechanical problem and i'll have to get it looked at.
