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.

Passat (B6) :: Car Lost Power And Acceleration After Brushed Aluminum Pedal Adaptation

I 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.

Passat (B7) :: Crackling Noise Coming From The Upper Trim

I 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.

Passat (B5) :: 1997 TDI Won't Start After Taking Driver Door Trim Off

My 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.

Passat (B6) :: 2007 - Chrome Trim On Climate Control Came Loose?

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.

Passat (B6) :: Creaking - Plastic Dash Trim Removal On Passenger Side?

How 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!!

Golf IV R32 :: Hole In The Aluminum AC Line Next To The Radiator Clip

Don'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.
