As I mentioned before, I'm looking forward to getting rid of the aluminum trim on my car (too bright and sun reflections) bu I saw a titanium wood trim that I like. Planning to have Dunkel aluminum from the radio down and this gray wood on top including the parking lights button and the 2 little drawers.
View 9 RepliesBrushed aluminum window trim "blueing" in certain areas? It's not uniform, as would be the case if it were merely oxidation. Very strange. 2015 Passat Sport.
View 5 RepliesI installed a set of brushed aluminum pedal about a month ago and now I feel that the car does not have the same power and acceleration like before! I mean if on 60mph cruising I want to accelerate to pass a car and push the pedal all the way up to the acceleration bottom the Trani only downshifts up to 3000 rpm and if I want pass quicker then push it all the way to the bottom then it shifts to 5000 rpm, in sport mode it is different and looks OK.
View 8 RepliesMy girlfriend has a '98 Passat with a 1.8t and she ran over something that cut the aluminum hard line that runs under the passenger side the length of the car. There are three there bundled together. The one that got cut is the outboard line. I couldn't see any fluid and when the car is running it cycles on and off with a valve or exhaust sound. Exhaust sensor of some kind.

View 3 RepliesI am installing the wiring for trailer lights in my 2007 B6 wagon. I need to remove the interior trim panels for this, but I can't find any diagrams or DIYs on where the screws or clips are. I don't want to just go at it and end up putting pressure in the wrong places and breaking clips.
View 1 RepliesI'm in process of changing my interior trim, had removed already all trim from dashboard etc. but can't figure out how remove trim around gear gaiter, trim with ESP and Autohold. Pulled really hard, nothing happens, don't want to break it.
View 1 RepliesLooking at a CPO 2008 Passat Komfort and noticed that all of the chrome trim is fading/oxidizing/cloudy. Is this common on the vehicle? No luck with the search...
View 6 RepliesSo i've been searching for ways to remove the bumper/door chrome trim to change to black but cannot find anything about the b5 or 5.5. What i'm trying to do is get the chrome to black but cannot figure out a safe way to remove them to either wrap in black vinyl, paint or just replace with black strips. I'm not trying to completely remove them just get the chrome to black. Its an 03
View 10 RepliesI have a 2014 VW Passat TSI 1.8, had it for about a year and have a little over 11k on it. Love the car, and have done a few mods to it. I am interested in replacing my standard rear view mirror with the auto dim. Is it even possible? I do not know if I have to plugs that I would correct my auto dim to because of my standard mirror. I do have the SOS as well, so I am not sure if that's all connected.
I also have a strange crackling noise that sounds like its coming from the upper trim of where the steering wheel is at. When I hols it down tight it seems to go away. It only happens when the car is warm.
The interior trim pieces that are located where the ceiling intersects with the door are falling out. I tried using Gorilla glue to hold them in place but the heat keeps melting it. If I order the new part from the dealer is the trim easy to install myself?
View 3 RepliesWhat this part is called? or where I could find a replacement? I just noticed my left blinker looks like the chrome ring came off at some point? def doesn't look nice and shiney like the right side, speedometer or tach chrome circle gauge trims.
View 4 RepliesSo I've been able to suppress all of the rattles in my car except one: The cluster trim right above the display rattles, it creaks, hell, I can hold a conversation with it. What can be done to remedy it? The 'turn up the radio' technique doesn't work.
View 3 RepliesMy driver door lock is broken, key won't turn and the outside handle is bust too. So today I took the trim off to have a look at what is going on. I put it all back together (had to unplug all the door electrics, put them back together no problem), and saw that the hazard lights are all glowing, not flashing. I started the car, turned it off, went inside to google the hazard lights.
When I came back and tried to start it again, it wouldn't start. The stereo said "SAFE" and the brake system warning light - red (!) - is on and beeps 3 times. I locked and unlocked the central locking with the key beeper, tried to start the car again, this time no "SAFE" on the stereo, but still the beeping and the no starting and the hazards glowing... Just bought the car a couple of weeks ago.
I've got an '07 2.0T MT6 Sport with about 18,000 miles. The round chrome trim ring on the fan speed control knob of the Climatronic panel came loose yesterday. This is the piece between the rotating knob and the two buttons in the center. It's now sticking out a little from the knob and is rattling around.
Is there a way to pop this back on easily? It doesn't look like it's going to fall off completely, but I can't find a way to put it back either. Obviously it should be covered under warranty, but I'd like to avoid a trip to the dealer if there's an easy DIY fix.
I'm looking for the process to remove the exterior black glossy b pillar trim on the front door. My wife decided to open my door against a ladder and it has a 3mm scratch that's going to big the piss out of me so I'm looking to replace it. Also looking for the PN as well.
View 2 RepliesHow do I remove the trim that's around the pull handle and the lock/unlock button? Not the trim by your belly that has window buttons but the ones that are near your side mirrors. Mine are scuffed to poop and I would like to replace the trim and the lock/unlock buttons.
View 1 RepliesHow to remove the plastic dash trim on the Passenger side? Is there a way to do this without removing the glovebox? I know there is one screw that needs to be removed. Mine creaks pretty badly. Ive already removed the center console trim and added felt to all those pieces. No more ticks/ creaks.
I guess I could have the dealer remove it but I dont want them taking my glovebox out to do it = more rattles. Why does VW make it so difficult to remove something that should be so simple!!
I've had other toyotas with over 100k miles on them and never had to to replace the aluminium washer.

View 2 RepliesDon't drive my R every day these days. Recently had to get it out and get it smogged when I noticed there is no AC. Turns out the aluminum AC line next to the radiator clip on the passenger side has a hole in it. It has been vibrating against a screw head which finally drilled a hole through the line.
I heard the "ticking in the dashboard" sound.
