Passat (B5) :: CEL Reset Not Working
Oct 14, 2011
So the CEL came on in my wife's b5 Passat after she topped off, which we now know not to do...and hasn't cleared on it's own after about 1000 miles of driving. So I performed the DIY reset found here: [URL] ....
to the detail, and kept the door open during ignition ON etc, and everything, even made sure to tighten the gas cap more than 3 clips as suggested, and it didn't reset. I did this multiple times and it is still on.
The radio presets are still there and weren't lost at anytime during any of the reset attempts and the car is currently on empty (re-fuel light is ON) and I didn't drive it after reset attempts.

Had an iPod adapter put in about two months ago first of all. Sirius stopped working this week. Radio is saying no signal. Sirius tried resetting the signal but nothing. They said maybe a loose connection.

It all started when the plastic casing of the key broke off and tried to use the original spare key wallet type with transponder and key dont go all the way in the ignition and key get stuck in one position but manage to get it out. Tried to put the broken one with the transponder close to it and will not start. Luckily i still have another original key that works.

my nav system in my 06 has started acting all goofy on me. a few weeks ago while heading down to LBI I looked at the screen and it said I was driving in the ocean. I shook my head and went to our house which I've been to hundreds of times so it wasn't like I needed it. the next day it figured out where it was (meaning it actually knew its location and it showed on the screen). I forgot to mention that the nav thought I was somewhere off the coast of Massachusetts around cape cod
fast forward to now.....no hiccups up until today......I went out for a few and everything was fine with the nav but I just went to drop my kids off and it was claiming I was a few miles north-west of my actual location.
is there anyway to reset and recalibrate it? I have seen the recalibrate option but I have messed around with it yet. i personally feel that the nav unit in my ex is useless and rely on my Garmin but still......I'd like it to at least show my actual location. i just used the "search" button but I still haven't really found and answer.

so i went to a car show yesterday and left my hood open! i was walking around and when i came back to my car to leave i started it and i had cel, my asr light was on and my engine felt light it was misfiring on all 4 cyl. so im looking at everything under the hood and notice that some funny guy unplugged my throttle wire! ok no big deal! plugged it in, turned it back on and all i had was a cel! i cleared it and it was fine till i started driving home! i though it was a boost leak but i was only boosting at a peak of 9 psi! driving there it was a normal 11. i know its not a boost leak becuz i had one last week and did a BLT! could unhooking my throttle body and starting up be causing it not to go to WOT??? if so how can i reset the throttle sensor?

After I finally got around to replacing my ABS pump I went to get my smog check done. Passed except I didn't drive enough miles to qualify.The SMOG tech told me to drive 150 miles and come back. I drive the 150 plus miles and within that time my check engine light comes on. I go to the shop and have it reset.
How many miles do I have to drive the car after a Check Engine Light reset in order to qualify for a Cali SMOG Check.

Well today I bought a new battery and installed it and the windows worked and radio i put in the code and it works but now my problem is the Alarm wont work!

My wives 2006 Passat, with stock radio, has an issue where the default stero level is too high. I've gone into the options and tried to turn down the starting volume, but it won't go down, only up. Is their someway to reset the stero back to default original settings or something? It's really startling at night when you hit the key and something is that loud!

I have an 01 Passat Wagen that has the Check Engine Light on. It runs great! I've had all oxygen sensors changed out and regular maintenance done on it. I have had it reset but then it continues to come back on. One guy told me he thought it was the catalytic converters. Is this possible? It has 115K miles on it.

I have a 2002 Passat. How to reset my check engine light. I need to get it inspected and it won't pass inspection until the check engine light is not on. Last year I took it to a mechanic who could find nothing wrong with it but reset my check engine light for me and it cost $250. Is this something I can do myself? I've had the car since it was new and the check engine light has gone on and off periodically for the past 10 years.
