Passat (B6) :: Frozen Seal - On Closing Door Will Just Bounce Off And Open Again


Dec 29, 2009

Winter is here and its the first winter i've had my 2006 Passat 3.6l. After a long night of freezing weather i attempt to open the door. After getting it loose, It wont seal close. When i shut the door it will just bounce off and open again.

My temp solution is to hold the door closed and press the lock key. The door then partially locks closed and then i have to pull it hard to make the seal close completely.

Passat (B6) :: Driver Side Door Won't Lock - All Other Doors Are Closing Properly

I can lock the doors with the key fob but it does not beep. The alarm sets, and the passenger doors all lock, but the drivers door does not. I have checked that all doors are closing properly, and the transmission is in park.

I also tried both key fobs with the same result. The alarm LED flashes about 6 times before glowing steady - is this a code of some sort?

Passat (B5) :: Trunk Door Won't Open With Remote / Key Or From The Switch On Driver Side Door

I'm unable to open my trunk door with the remote, using the key, or with the switch on the drivers side door. I am also pretty sure it is not frozen shut. Will I need to switch out the complete latch assembly or just need to wd-40 something? This is for a 2000 Passat 1.8T Sedan.

Camry :: 2014 SE - Rear Passenger Side Brake Caliper Frozen Open

So, my right, rear, brake caliper froze in the open position a little while back; I hit the brake hard, it held, heard a clack, then it let go and stayed in the open (uncompressed) position. I lost some braking power but at least have been able to drive. No visible brake fluid leak, other three brakes working fine.

At 125K, I've decided to do a full brake job, and am about to search for some of the parts on the awesome stickied parts reference list up above. I'll hopefully find some parts are available at NAPA, where I'm also ordering the right side cv axle.

So, I'm only finding remanufactured brake calipers at NAPA. Are they decent or should I look for something new elsewhere?

Passat (B5) :: Gas Tank Door Won't Open

I purchased my first VW this weekend, an '01 Passat. 1.8T, 5 speed, very fun. The only issue, despite 105k miles, is that the electrical circuit associated with the gas tank door release is dead. The local Portland mechanic has it scheduled for tomorrow, but unfortunately the gas light came on this morning. Any tips for manually releasing the gas tank door?

Azera TG (2006-11) :: 2008 - Moonroof Not Fully Closing - Only 1/2 Inch Open

I have a 2008 Hyundai Azera and out of nowhere the moonroof quit working. It is almost closed - only 1/2 inch open - so I can live with it but would like to fix it. My mechanic said that the problem was software that only the dealer could fix. Called my 2 local dealers and they were absolutely clueless.

Passat (B5) :: Door Slammed And Now Won't Open From Inside Or Outside

I slammed my door shut and now it wont open from inside or outside, I pulled the door panel off the top and took as many card bolts out as I could and pried the card to check things out, seems like everything is working the same as the passenger door which I could get completely apart for comparison. Cables are attached and both handles move the mechanism, the lock and unlock seem to be working, the handles move free and easily but don't seem to catch anything. How can I get this door open to take the mechanism out?!?

Passat (B5) :: Driver Door Won't Recognize As Being Open

I believe that my Driver Door is not recognized as being open at times. Odd things happen. Most notably the Ding for the 'Hey you left your Lights On' does not ding. Though if I shut the Door, Lock with remote, then wait a few seconds, then unlock with remote then open the door, it dings again until I turn off the Lights.

Passat (B5) :: Driver Door Will Not Open From Inside Or Outside

My 04 audi a4 driver door will not open from the inside or outside. The bowden cable is a little loose but it has some tension, but even if that was broken i should still be able to open from the outside. the key fob will arm the alarm also.

And I can hear the door manually locking if i use the key also.i can arm the alarm only if i use the key to lock the door manually. but it will not open. i have to either crawl through the window or from the other side. Other than ripping the door panel apart and opening the door that way? Also the dash display shows the door is shut so that is a plus...

Passat (B7) :: Driver Door Won't Open From Outside Handle

Went to get into my B7 this AM and the outside door handle won't open the car. You pull on the handle, and nothing. It pulls out like normal, but acts as though it's not connected to anything. After getting in the passengers door and crawling over the console , the inside door handle moves maybe an inch, and then stops, feeling like something is jammed. Just made an appointment with the dealer, and he said they've had a few problems with the cables inside the door that controls the handles and latch.

Passat (B5) :: Driver Side Door Won't Open From Outside

From inside it works fine. I pulled the interior panel and it looks as if the parts aren't close enough together. There is a white plastic barrel(?) attached to the lever for the exterior handle. When the exterior handle is pulled the white barrel moves down. It looks as if it should strike the lever to activate the spring and release the door. Barely grazes it. Can't seem to get this piece to move closer.

Passat (B6) :: Mechanical Noise When First Open The Door?

I find that when I walk out to my garage in the morning and open the driver's door to get in, I hear what sounds like a small electric motor spinning for a second or two.

Clearly some system in the car initializes itself when the door opens, even before the key is inserted. What is it?

(2008 Turbo wagon, TSI engine)

Passat (B6) :: Whirring Noise When Open The Door

There's something that sounds like an electric motor whirring for a few seconds when I open the door on my 2009 Passat Wagon after it's sat overnight. (I'm not sure if it does it other times as well, I've not really noticed). It's not really annoying, and I don't think anything is broken or malfunctioning. I'm just curious what that motor is doing.
