Passat (B5) :: Hood Will Not Stay Up / Comes Right Back Down
Nov 26, 2009
When the hood comes right back down does that mean I just have to replace the gas shock that opens and closes it?

Camry :: 2005 - Hood Will Not Stay Up
I just bought a 2005 Camry with a 4cyl engine and the hood will not stay up. There is only 1 strut under the hood. Should there be 2? Also what kind should work well without spending a lot on it (them)...
View 2 RepliesImpala - Chevrolet :: 2008 - Hood Won't Stay Up
I have a 2008 Chevy Impala that I've owned for going on six months. It's treated me very well. I'm just now getting ready to give it a nice wash/interior cleaning this evening, but I noticed while cleaning under the hood just now that I cannot get the hood to stay up on it's own. I'm not sure what the issue is. I keep nudging it gently, but that's not working. As recently as yesterday I had the hood up when I was checking the oil...it stayed just fine.
Of course, the pre-2014 Impala generation has hoods without the manual supports. So what might the problem be here? I figure this car is a little new to be having a problem like this.
Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2008 - Hood Won't Stay Up - Lift Cylinders?
I got to replace mine because the hood won't stay up on it's own and is heavy to lift. I was wondering if these things fail often. Mine is an '08.

I have a 2000 Regular Cab Work Truck with non power split bench seat. The passenger side back will not hook in the up position.
Before diving into it. Is the mechanism broken or is it something I can fix if I tear it apart? There is nothing stuck under or behind that I can tell.
Camry 2012+ :: Cleaning Under The Hood - How To Get Metal Back To Shining
So I was doing a little plasti dipping today and in between layers decided to try and clean under the hood. On all the plastic I just used armor all wipes. I didn't take a before pic but I wished it as it was all covered in pollen. Those parts came out great. I was just wondering is there anything I can do to get the metal back to shining?

I'm looking for directions on how to disassemble the sun roof to figure out which part is broken. It slides open and closed but will not tilt up. (It will tilt by pushing up on it from inside but won't stay open; it just falls back in place).
View 1 RepliesCamry :: VSC TRAC Lights Flash Back And Forth And Then Stay On Shortly After Moving Car
Over the past year on my 2002 Camry, I have had my CE light come on and on the next start, the VSC TRAC lights will flash back and forth and then stay on shortly after moving the car. This seems to happen soon after a gas filling. I can put my reader on and usually find codes 0440 and 0402 which I can clear the CEL but the VSC TRAC light comes back on the next time I move the car. I have taken it to a dealer three times now and they have found no apparent problem and cleared the lights. But maybe the next time I fill up, it happens again . . . but not every time I fill up. I have read about the "fix" by shorting out pins 4 and 10 but I am not comfortable with that right now as there has to be a specific reason this is happening.

My car alarm has been going off randomly all day today. I have tried locking it manually and with the fob. Once the doors are locked a minute goes by and then the alarm sounds. All the doors are completely shut. I may just have to disconnect the battery for now...
View 3 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Hood Won't Open
Not a great first week of ownership. Tried to open my hood tonite and find there is no tension whatsoever on the hood release lever. On my Corrado, I can pop it over w/ a screwdiver thru the grille, can this be done on a B6? It even looks like there is a cut out between the grille & hood to get at the release, but I can't figure it out for the life of me.

Well, hood won't open. How to get it open? The lever inside feels like its pulling nothing, or just starting to pull at the very end.
View 3 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Way To Adjust The Hood?
Today I received my passat from the dealer's body shop after a rear end accident. Rear lid, bumper, reinforcement, lights, parking sensors, fuse and front seat belts replaced. So I suppose that no one touched the front end except for the towing bar cover. But I drove the car and found that the hood is shaking at high speed (200+ kmph) which is odd to me since the car was rock solid.
I opened the hood and felt that the release handle was loose ( can't feel the mechanism any more). Visually the right side of the hood is higher than the fender. Also pushing on the hood seems that it doesn't set on the rubber adjusters (there are 4 adjusters)
After making few adjustments (only the outer adjusters ) the hood is even higher than before although it is tight and the release handle felt good.
How can I lower the hood while keeping it tight?
Passat (B6) :: High Beams Don't Stay On
My regular beam light stopped working today. If i pull back on the high beams, both come on and work, however, if i push the lever forward to leave them on permanently, they don't come on at all. Is this because the regular bulb is out, or is something else wrong?

View 2 RepliesPassat (B5) :: 2004 - Hood Won't Release
My problem is that I get a pretty good pop from the main release inside the car. The hood doesn't come up too much, and the secondary release tab does not pop out from under the hood. I've managed to get the grille off. The tab will move back and forth a little, but then stops. Even yanking on it will not cause it to release the hood the rest of the way.
A couple of the fixes out there are spraying some lube in there (done) and popping the latch with a screwdriver (can't see how to do this on my car). There is even one for drilling a hole to get access, but I think this might be a B5 thing?
