Driving a 2008 Passat with a factory 6 disc radio installed noticed a faint beeping sound after applying the brake when the SAT Radio is selected? I hear it all the time, especially when I'm listening to talk show and the volume is up high. Surprisingly, it doesn't make that sound when I have the CD Player selected.
View 3 RepliesMy monsoon radio is beeping on my 2011.5 VW Passat. As soon as I turn the radio on the is a beeping sound. About 1 beep/second. Only beeps when radio is on. This is heard over the radio stations (ie. I can still hear the radio "behind" the beeping sound). This will start when I try to put a FM station in memory, turn the volume all the way down or when the battery dies. The radio is otherwise functioning normally (no SAFE being displayed). The beeping usually eventually goes away after several days to a week.
View 1 RepliesSo I started my car today and when I got back in it about 5 minutes later I could smell gas, faintly, but it was undeniable. I ran my vin through vw's recall system and came up empty. I'm going to get it checked out on Monday.
Also on my way home from dinner my radio stopped producing sound. When I tried turning the volume up the volume bar wouldn't move. I was on xm radio at the time and I switched to fm and am with no difference. Then I switched to my sd card. I was able to select a song but it wouldn't load on the main screen. I turned my car off and nothing changed. I tried using my phone and that worked, but after, the radio still wouldn't work. Then about 5 minutes later it started working again. So weird.
I saw that other people had problems with their stereo but it didn't seem the same.
Randomly when I am driving, I hear faint beeping in the car. It is not a loud beep such as ones that come from the parking assist, or from accelerating too hard in EV mode. There is no error message. It is the same kind of beep as the above mentioned but not loud. It is so faint you can barely hear it and where it is coming from or why. Who knows, there night have a bomb under the car.
View 14 RepliesI have a new 2013 prius Three and lately have been having difficulty with my radio.Within the past week every time I plug my iPhone in to listen to my iPod my controls on my steering wheel work in a weird way.
For example if I am listening to a playlist on my iPhone and want to skip to the next song, when I hit the steering wheel control to do that the radio shows the iPod icon and spins and then just picks a random song from my iTunes library. This also happens when I am listening to pandora through my iPhone. If I hit the next button it stops pandora and switches to my iTunes library even if it isn't open.
Should I be concerned that I have something wrong with my radio. Everything as far as entune works fine. I haven't used navigation in a few weeks so I am not sure of that as of right now.
I have no difficulty adding stations to the radio pre-select menu but how do you delete all those annoying stations that have been pre-selected and take up space? I'm getting frustrated having to thumb through all the junk just to get to the setting I like.
View 1 RepliesMy wife's 1998 Passat's ABS and Brake lights both comes on along with that beeping buzzer. Everything is norm from start up, but after driving about 10 miles or so the ABS/brake light& buzzer show starts up.
It seems the ABS is working because my wife found a patch of sand in a parking lot and jammed on the brakes while the ABS/brake light& buzzer show was going on. She said she could feel the brakes pumping.
We took it in to the dealer and they check the brake pads and sensors. They said that the sensors and pads were ok. They thought it might have been dirty sensor, so they clean them.
Two days later the ABS/brake light& buzzer show came back. But this time my brakes squeal a little if you press on the brake lightly. (cleaning solution got on the brakes?) Also how big a deal is it installing a new ABS black box ? (where is it?)
I'm hearing some sound when I shut off my car. There is a faint, air pump sound coming from the passenger rear area near the fuel filler door. It has run the last 3-4 times I've shut off the car recently and runs for a few minutes after shutting the engine off (welcome home lights go off, all doors are closed and the pump sound continues).
This isn't the fuel pump sound that happens when you open the driver's door and the fuel pump primes. This is a quieter, air pump sound from the rear of the car. I'm guessing it's related to the fuel system? Maybe pressure testing the vapor recovery system or fuel tank/gas cap for leaks?
I had a hard brake from 45mph to 0 last week, now when I start the car or brake hardly, there is beep. What is wrong with it?
View 7 RepliesSo I just bought a used 06 Passat VR6 (my third vw) and my e-brake light kept coming on for some reason this morning. I never turned it on so I just followed the manual and held the brake and pressed the button. The e-brake light turns off. So I turn to reverse and then the e-brake light comes on by itself and a funny beeping noise turns on, almost like a siren. I put it in park. I hold the brake and push the button and the e-brake turns off, but the process repeats for about an hour.
Now the e-brake light doesn't come on but the funny siren noise turns on when I put it in anything other than park. The siren sometimes turns off after a few seconds but comes on again while I drive, and then disappears. My e-brake is not engaged during this time. What could be the problem?
So my girlfriends passat is starting to have some problems. It looks like a light show on the dash. When driving it, every now and then (a lot more now) the tach goes dead, and the oil and brake light flash, and it starts beeping. The car also has a ABS light on but that has been on for a long time.
So far I've checked both the oil and brake fluid levels, and checked all the fuses. Everything is good there. It just seems funny that they all go at once. I figure maybe one of the plugs to the cluster is loose giving everything a zero reading? I need to buy a vag cable and software some time that's for sure.
My alternator went today, driving and the battery came on .. was concerned but was still on my way, abt 5 miles from my house the abs light and brake lights starting flashing and beeping .. and then caput .. the car shuts off .. figured it was the alternator, cuz thats whats logically made sense .. talk to vwvortex and if so how much do these type of jobs cost ??
View 18 RepliesI have a 1999 vw passat and i have the abs light on all the time ( was told its the abs module)? Brake light flashing too but i am really only concerned about the beeping sound i get 80% of the time after i come to a stop and accelerate then oil pressure light comes on and it beeps 3 times and goes away til i stop again????? What is making the car beep?
View 1 RepliesI hear a slight gurguling sound coming from the engine when I first start it up and drive out of my driveway. My street has a slight incline (not much) and I'm usually driving in the up hill direction when I hear it. What could that sound be? I have a 2001.5 automatic V6 Passat.

Stock Orginal Double Din Non-Monsoon Radio in my 2003...
so I am driving today and I go to turn the sound up using the steering wheel controls and it starts going up then NO sound at all.
i switch from CD to CD and radio and still nothing no hissing no poping just seemed like the internal amp just cut out.. i was able to see the meter on the radio go up and down just no sound.. i turned the radio on and off and still nothing..
i get home and turn the car off and back on and it started working again..
i'm sure there is a problem but how major and if the dealer scans the car will they be able to tell it happened..
i prefer not to go up there to spend all day waiting to be told they couldnt duplicate the problem so theres nothing they can do..
I just purchased a LS 460 2007, 64k miles. The brake when apply squeal, but not all the time when the break is applied. 5 times out of 10 times when you apply the break when driving the car for more than 20 minutes it start to squeal. It does not squeal when you first drive in the morning, but after driving more than 20 minutes, when you apply the brake - it will squeal on and off during various application of the break. Does the LS460 have brake indicator that would squeal all the time when you need new break? I am not sure what the sign that LS460 would need new break and rotor.....
View 4 RepliesI have a 1999 Volkswagen Passat GLS. Bought it used just the other day with no radio in it. I put my after market Blaupunkt in it today and it took me seriously 5seconds. Instantly had sound, but it was only coming from the driver's side front and rear, but the volume was weak in the rear. I was going to look for the amp, but idk if it had the monsoon sound or not. Has 4 speakers and 4 tweeters, but i'm not sure if it's the Monsoon sound or Premium.
why my antenna is very weak as well? why I have weak/no sound output from my speakers, if I have premium or monsoon sound and why I have such a weak antenna and how to fix all of these things.
I just noticed yesterday when I used the electronic Parking Brake. When I engaged the Electronic Parking brake, the DRL Indicator (light) on the dash went off. I did not go outside of the vehicle to see if they actually turned off (the vehicle was still running). Is that normal?
View 10 RepliesI have 2006 Ford Focus that was recently in a small rear end crash. The airbags went off. The only damage was a front bumper and hood and plastic grill. The computer had to be reset by Ford dealer for the airbag. Since the accident the front brakes intermittently apply, not enough to slam the car to a stop, but enough to slow it down and limit acceleration. We have replaced the rotors, calipers and front brake lines. Problem still exists. Ford says the computer shows nothing (duh) and my mechanic of 20 years doesn't know what else to do.
