I need to replace my passenger side tailight assembly due to moisture inside of it. Is it hard to take the assembly apart? If it is not hard than how do i do it. I already know that i have to go into the compartment in the back of my 02 1.8 wagon, but from there what do i need to do?

View 3 RepliesThere is moisture or dirt blocking the part of my settings display on my dashboard. I can't see the "Trip A/ Miles left before empty" area. Dealer said it was glue inside the dashboard. They ordered a new plastic window. I think it looks like moisture buildup... How would glue have gotten up there? I am fearful that the area will spread and I will not be able to see more of this area.... Car is a 2010 Model 3 with 12,000 miles.. 10 months old...
View 1 RepliesI am not sure mine are done yet, but I was told by mechanic that they are failing and that the fronts aren't spinning as smooth as they should when up on the jack. They were investigating a sticky caliper at the time and said they believe heat from failing bearing caused that issue. I figured I'd do a little looking for parts pricing just incase. Does come with everything needed to change it? From reading, I found part # 73CZ-1104B is that the one?
View 6 RepliesI need to remove the interior part right above the glove box and replace it because the paint is peeling. If I can get a diagram and where I can order it online would be awesome,if that's possible. Never had this problem before on any ford truck with the interior paint and all I ever do is wipe it down with armor all.

View 14 RepliesI have a crack in the driver side taillight in my 2003 VW passat GLX wagon. I opened the panel in the rear where the audio amplifier seems to be located. I can find 3 nuts to remove for the taillight and that seems to have loosened up the assembly. There seems to be a fourth fastening point. However, I can't find it. I can't seem to remove the black amplifier rack to get a better view.
View 1 RepliesI got a "Bulb Out" warning but all the bulbs were working...so I go inspect all the lights on the wagon and notice the taillight is melted and falling apart on the inside! Wtf?? Ugh...!! I've never had something like this before. Is this common? The light still works but its all melted on the inside and the plastic ring on the inside is falling down.... Quick pic...

I have the Vag Con cable.
A couple months ago,I was getting moisture in my car. It was noticeable in the morning on the front and rear windows. Now I found mildew under the driver side floor mat. I have no clue where the water is coming in to cause this problem. All seals are tight, and I do not have a sunroof.
View 4 RepliesThe water in my B5.5 headlights had been bugging me so I finally decided to do something about it. I disassembled the front end of my car and pulled out both headlight assemblies, and was planning to just take off the clear plastic cover that the condensation sticks to and wipe out the water, like I have on my Saab. But I can't get the plastic cover off. Can you do this with the B5.5 headlight assemblies? How else would I get the water out?
View 2 RepliesFor some reason I am getting moisture inside my car. This has started to happen regularly, even when it is not raining. I have checked all of my weather stripping, all windows seal tight, all doors close tight. VW service can't find anything.
View 6 RepliesI have the above passat with the AWM motor. There is signs of moisture in the dipstick tube, but not on the oil fill cap. Now today the plastic dipstick funnel snapped due to being frozen to the dipstick.
Now the dipstick had what looks like lithium grease on it. The car has been slowely loosing coolant. But exhaust is clear, no signs of steam or coolant burning through exhaust.
But if the lithium grease like substance on the dipstick was a oil/coolant mix WHY did it freeze . I use a 50/50 mix of pentofrost SF. According to their lable should be good down to below zero. It has not gotten that cold here yet, even at night.
Why or how I could be getting moisture into the motor? And why is it only visible on/in the dipstick funnel and nowhere else.
I bought some stock headlights that were retrofitted with projectors. The re-seals seem on but after a decent rain the right side light is completely fogged inside. I have taken the back cap off and it will dry out after a day in the sun but should not do this. What's causing this and is it fixable or not??
View 7 RepliesMy 2006 Passat has moisture in the passenger side headlight. Not sure how it got there, or how to get rid of it. The mechanic at the dealership said to drill a hole in the bottom of the light (but that sounds like a BAD idea).
How I can remove the moisture from this without replacing the entire headlight housing? I thought that maybe I could remove the bulb and use a hair dryer on low to try to evaporate the moisture.
I recently picked up an 03' GLX V6 4motion and noticed after it rains, the backseat floor (drivers side) is wet. Windows/sunroof are closed and I don't see any drips/water spots in the interior to make an educated guess as to where it's coming from. What would be the cause of this?
View 1 RepliesI noticed I have moisture in both my tail lights and a little in my back up lights. what's the best course of action to deal with this so my tails don't fade? I'm hoping I won't have to take the tails apart.
View 4 RepliesI noticed some moisture in my driver side turn signal lamp the other day. Any experience out there on fixing this? It looked pretty difficult to reach in there and open the lamp up to let it dry. And fixing it - finding the leak - might be more fun.
View 7 RepliesI noticed my '08 TSI wagon has been marking it's territory, couldn't figure out where the leak was coming from so I ran it into the dealer. Turns out the oil is leaking from the cam cover assembly & they said it's a seven hour job to fix it. And while they have it torn apart, anything else I should replace?
View 6 RepliesI'm doing an install on my son's 2000 passat V6 30 valve.
I have the front rad pulled out and there is plenty of room to work. How do I get off the viscous fan assembly. I removed the fan's 3-4 allen bolts, I now need to get the assembly out. I also removed one of the long allen bolts in the actual assembly. I have the fan ribbed pulley secured with an old serp belt and grip wrench. I am trying to losen the large nut behind he fan assembly. I have attached a photo to point of reference. I may have a manual next week yhat may explain all this.
