Passat (B6) :: HID Pointing Too Low - Getting Code For ABS
Feb 8, 2010
I have finally installed HID, but I tend to think they pointed too low, or it is just my imagination. Need to change the level after installing HID? Second and most important Question, the thing is that after removing the + from Battery, I have reset the settings now car shows trouble codes for g85 I guess the steering column. That it is not calibrated right, the code applies for ABS and 44-Steering Assist, I might have messed up the options, but I strongly believe it might be fixed without dealership. When the car starts it shows, ESP off and steering column yellow all the time.

I recently lowered one of my client's 2008 passat and since then the xeon headlamps are pointing way too low. I did the manual adjustment with the allen key screws but I'm at the maximum on the adjustment so I'm sure there is a way to compensate with recoding the motor. I have VagCom but I can't seem to do a recode. What is the procedure?

I have a 2004 6.0 with 75000 miles on it. My truck is throwing a P0470 code pointing at the exhaust pressure sensor. my question is do I need this sensor or can i bypass it? When I look up the part it only shows 2005 and up.

My 2005 Prius' headlamps are pointing down. What do you call that part located near the rear left wheel that levels them?

I hit a big pothole and now the driver's side headlight is pointing towards the middle of the car. The lens is still in place. What happened? tell me it's something simple and I don't have to replace the headlight.

Something seems to have changed with the '13 ES 350 I bought in October. The side mirrors have stopped pointing down when the car is in reverse.
I don't believe that I've changed and settings but furious finger poking might have taken place as some point in the recent past. What has changed?

I'm suspecting that my motor mounts are going bad, but I'm not 100% sure. I have a video of the engine movement when slipping the clutch and revving the engine with the e-brake on. [URL]............................... I don't need high performance ones, but don't want to spend a ton on OEM ones either.

So as the title states, rear sway install, no issues (so I thought ) go to test drive the car afterward, and the headlights go through the normal sweep, but, they don't come up and level out, instead, they are pointing 10ft in front of the car.
The test drive was otherwise flawless, the R responds well to swaybars, my Mk6 TDi did as well, I just have the rear H&R bar on the softer/street setting for now, but it makes a notable difference just on its own in the soft setting, I'm pleased.
Back to the issue now at hand, I researched and so far came up with there is a sensor on the drivers side LCA on the rear of the arm, and one on the rear subframe that has a push rod type arm (looks like a servo) attached to it and a bracket on the subframe, Is this correct? The sensor in the rear is intact, plugged in, and I traced the wire back to the wheel well and there is no evidence of a ground, pulled or severed wire. I have no scanning equipment and am leery of going to the dealer and letting them plug into the ECM for anything now that I am tuned, not really for warranty, more for I don't want to risk anything being corrupted or altered.

What does this icon mean? Maybe something about the gas tank cap or the gas cap door being open but that doesn't appear to be the case. The gas tank cap is tightly closed and the gas cap door is closed.

Ok I keep blowing fuse #3 in the interior compartment. Let me preface this by saying I have my always-on power for my rear view mirror which is the display for my back up camera, pulled from a wire that is fed by this fuse. The camera is on reverse power only and it pulled from the reverse lights in the rear of the truck, but the always-on power is pulled from this location for the display. Doesn't matter if I have always-on power to camera if the display fuse it has blown and I am guessing the mirror power is the source of my problem.
The fuse controls the OBD and the cigarette lighter and it seems to blow every time I plug anything into that power port that is more serious than say a phone charge. When this fuse goes then my mirror display is down, and back up camera is mainly used for hitching up a trailer solo. My camera is pointed straight down at my hitch ball and it makes hitching up by myself very easy.
I have a volt meter but not sure where I need to test, and well what a bad number is when I do test it? The mirror instructions say to pull always on power under the dash and the right wires are attached, and the fuse rating matches, so don't think it's a too much being pulled issue. Maybe a bad connection or maybe a relay issue? I had this fuse blow several times before I had the power mirror but it's certainly gotten worse.

Car: 2006 sonata GLS V6, 62,000 mi
Abstract of symptom: Delayed cooling fan kicking in
Full Symptom description: 2 weeks ago, I was stuck in slow-going traffic. All of the sudden, I found the engine temperature gauge was pointing at the redline, which had never happened before! Then I was about to make an emergency stop on the shoulder, the gauge was falling back to the midline within 30 seconds. As I kept driving in the traffic, the gauge just fluctuated between mid-high to redline. There was a moment I had to stop and shut the engine down, then 1 minute later I restarted the engine, the gauge turned normal again: a little bit under the midline. Then the traffic improved, and the gauge stayed calm all the way home.
Then I noticed that the overheat problem only happens on slow-going/stop traffic; in another word, when I am driving down the interstate @60 mph, engine temperature is always perfect. (a little bit under the midline) At the parking lot, I triggered the problem to re-occur by idling while I was watching the cooling fan--and I found the fan didn't kick in until gauge hit mid-high. After fan kicked in, the gauge fell back to midline, but seemed never to the perfect status. (a little bit under the midline).
Differential: Coolant quality and quantity are good; no visible leak on radiator/hose; when I started a cold engine in the morning and turned on A/C at the same time, the fan kicked in immediately. And it seems that keeping A/C on can prevent overheat from happening, even in slow-going traffic.

Is there any quick fix for this? My steering wheel is slightly turned when the wheels are pointing straight. I thought a wheel alignment would fix this, but it didn't.

Well this car is getting ridiculous. i just got it back from the dealership 3 weeks ago from having them fix the car when the check engine light came on because some pressure valve that is supposedly in each cylinder or something was bad.
Well now, its on again. I took it to autozone but when the guy put his scanner on there, nothing came up. So when I started the car as the scanner was plugged in, he said it gave him the code P2243. He did not know what the code was. The engine light is now off and the guy did not clear the code. The car still rides normal.

My 2.0t threw a MIL with code P0441 about 24 hours after having the timing and all replaced. I replaced the N80 valve last week, but this did not make the light turn off.
I also have a hard time starting after filling up. What this might be?

Dealer says the "gas cap" code keeps coming up. Won't share the number with me.... I've tried two new OEM gas caps, fuel & air filter replacement. I keep paying to get it reset. It keeps coming back on. Clueless VW mechanics... What else it might be?

The 1.8 passat turbo has 60k miles on it.
CEL is on, shop says it is code P0299 (I have read this code being called the "underboost" code). Local shop also wanted $1500++ to put on a new turbo. Car is driving and responding just fine.
I have searched high and low and can't find definitive answers to these questions.
I have read some posts indicating that replacing the Waste Gate Valve has improved performance and turned off the CEL. Can you replace this valve on the 1.8 without replacing the whole turbo?
Where is this valve in the engine compartment? Can I just clean it? CEL code 0299, car behaving normally, shop telling you that your need to replace the turbo?

I am having a misfire code on the #1 cylinder. Its not bad but I really want to nip it in the butt before it goes out completely. I was told to try and get some of the older style coilpacks that bolt on and go with them. Can I put them on my 03 passat 1.8t.

While on business travel, my wife's 2003 1.8T Passat wagon had the MIL illuminate. I had her pull the OBD2 code while I was away, and it came up with P0420. I have been reading up on it, but I have found much in the way of troubleshooting this code. I don't want to just start randomly replacing parts until the light goes away. When I get back I am going to look for exhaust leaks, but barring those what else can be looked for.
