Passat (B5) :: Accidently Cut Aluminum Hard Line Running Under Passenger Side


Feb 21, 2009

My girlfriend has a '98 Passat with a 1.8t and she ran over something that cut the aluminum hard line that runs under the passenger side the length of the car. There are three there bundled together. The one that got cut is the outboard line. I couldn't see any fluid and when the car is running it cycles on and off with a valve or exhaust sound. Exhaust sensor of some kind.

Ford Excursion :: 2003 7.3L - Coolant Leaking From The Passenger Side Rear Hard Line By The Front Spring Hanger

On my 2003 Excursion 7.3L, I notticed I'm leaking what I think is coolant from the passenger side rear hard line by the front spring hanger. I haven't pealed the plastic loom away yet, but I did see the loom is chaffed near the spring hanger. What lines are the ones that carry coolant, and can I just cut the hard lines and replace with a section of rubber hose?

Passat (B6) :: Wiper Arm On Passenger Side Visible Above The Hood Line When In Resting Position?

Is the wiper on the passenger side supposed to be visible above the hood line when in a resting position? It looks as though there is room for it to retract under the hood line, but mine doesn't seem to. Not the end of the world, but I would prefer not to see anything creeping up in the passenger corner when I am looking out. Maybe the wrong blades installed keeping it from retracting?

Golf IV R32 :: Hole In The Aluminum AC Line Next To The Radiator Clip

Don't drive my R every day these days. Recently had to get it out and get it smogged when I noticed there is no AC. Turns out the aluminum AC line next to the radiator clip on the passenger side has a hole in it. It has been vibrating against a screw head which finally drilled a hole through the line.

I heard the "ticking in the dashboard" sound.

Prius (Gen 3) :: Accidently Sat On Remote, Driver Side Door Wouldn't Open Now

I sat on the remote for my 2010 Prius and the trouble started. I'm not sure how it was supposed to work, but the drivers side door wouldn't open until you played with the remote a lot. Just trying the old smart way by grasping the handle did one of two things, nothing, or it locked the damn door instead of unlocking it. When I used the keyfob, the door unlocked until I grasped the handle, It LOCKED! When I tried to lock the car and walk away, it would lock, then immediately unlock.

Ford Excursion :: 2001 V10 - Cracked Heater Line - Passenger Side Header Melted

It seems that the install of my Doug Thorley headers didn't go as well as I thought. Turns out the passenger side header melted the bracket holding the heater lines and then punctured one of the lines when it rubbed against the header. Right now I'm not sure what to do. I noticed the melted bracket and pulled the fender well, but that's when I noticed the leak. I guess some of the melted plastic was keeping it from leaking everywhere until I removed it. I live in AZ so the rear heater isn't really necessary so if a stop gap measure is to bypass it then I'm game but I can't find any info on how to do it. If the only real solution is to get the entire line replaced then I'm a bit hosed I guess. 2001 V-10 4x4 BTW.

Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: HPOP Braided Line - Passenger Side

My passenger side braided line from the HPOP to the passenger head decided to rupture. Got 300k on the clock so that recommended 100k change interval is on the low side. Do I need the 'special tool' to remove the line from the HPOP and what is the current recommendation on a replacement line?

Ford Excursion :: After Standard Brake Line Replacement Fluid Leaking On Passenger Side Fitting?

So I had a stuck caliper on the driver rear side. I pushed the piston back and checked everything to make sure all was in working order. After some though and reading about the calipers getting stuck which old brake lines, I decided to upgrade the line with the Russell stainless steal lines.

I got all the lines put in but I seem to have fluid leaking on the passenger side fitting which I can't seem to get to stop. I put the old line back in but it is still leaking. I am not sure what I need to do or check to get it to stop. It seems to be leaking from the thread area. I checked the fittings and they don't look cross threaded so I don't understand why it may be happening.

Passat (B6) :: Car Lost Power And Acceleration After Brushed Aluminum Pedal Adaptation

I installed a set of brushed aluminum pedal about a month ago and now I feel that the car does not have the same power and acceleration like before! I mean if on 60mph cruising I want to accelerate to pass a car and push the pedal all the way up to the acceleration bottom the Trani only downshifts up to 3000 rpm and if I want pass quicker then push it all the way to the bottom then it shifts to 5000 rpm, in sport mode it is different and looks OK.

Lexus SC430 :: Passenger Side Door Need Hard Push To Get It To Shut

I've only put a few thousand miles on my car since I got it last year. I noticed my wife has to slam the pass door rather hard to get it to shut. I figured the striker/latch alignment must be out of whack and didn't think much about it. The other day I started taking a look at it and realized the top of the door glass is just barely contacting the roof as it closes. The more I look at it, the more I think it's not a problem with the door or glass adjustment, but maybe the roof.

If I adjust the glass barely down, I don't get a tight seal. These are designed to just barely miss each other and there has to be some sort of tolerance stack up adjustment other than loosening the hinge bolts and re-tightening.

Passat (B5) :: Passenger Side Headlight And Side Marker Went Out

Two months ago I walked out to my car as it was remote started and realized the driver side headlight was out. With a quick tap to the lens it was fixed with no further problems to date. As of yesterday my passenger side headlight and side marker went out. The first thing I tried was the tap method which only brought the sidemarker back to life. Could it be the bulb or a worse problem. I am not sure if its just the bulb seeing that the side marker is going off and on.

Passat (B7) :: Driver Side DRL And Passenger Side Headlight Out

I dropped off my 2012 Passat to the dealer this morning because the driver's DRL was out and the passenger headlight was out. Normally I'd change bulbs myself and be on my way but since this is new and under warranty, I let them do the work.

Anyway, fixed the DRL (bad bulb). But the passenger headlight assembly needs replacing. Seems I have fallen victim to a melted housing causing a failure. I've read about the situation somewhere here on the forums and suspected it might be the case. So VW is 2-3 days out on getting a new part and I'm in a loaner for the time being.

I'm guessing this happens a lot with this part. I wonder if VW will issue a recall in the future.
