Passat (B6) :: How To Apply Plasti-Dip To Grille


Mar 3, 2009

How you would apply Plasti-Dip to your grille. I see it is a rubberized coating according to their website. I also see that some of you have used it and I have seen the recent pictures that display the before and after. My question to you is, are you actually dipping the grille in the Plasti-Dip or spraying it on?

Passat (B7) :: How To Get Grille Emblem Off

I got the grille emblem off my CC in minutes. I'v've got the grille off and have spent literally hours trying to remove the badge with no results. The basketweave backer came off easily, but the badge won't budge!

Passat :: 2002 - Engine Lifts When Apply Gas

My 2002 VW wagon Passat engine lifts when I apply the gas, like the front end of the engine is saying whats up. This happens either idling, or on the street. Brought it in to a mechanic, but it wasn't their specifically. I was told that it was a mount but but every shop I talk to say theyve only got three types but I am thinking there might be more than that. Its obviously one of the front mounts but can I get some clarity as to which one it is, and how intensive this might be?

Passat (B5) :: Constant Noise Just When Apply Brakes In Reverse

I have a dry metal on metal squawk noise when I reverse, I have taken it to a VW dealer, and they say "there is nothing wrong", or that they "cannot find anything". The noise is not constant, just when I apply the brakes in reverse.

Passat (B6) :: While Apply Gas To Reverse Vibrations Coming From Front End?

So yesterday afternoon I did my driving thing. First stop I made I put it in reverse to pull out of the inverted parking ramp and had to apply gas to do so. And just got a nasty vibration coming out of the front end. A few times during my drive I would find an open lot to test reverse under load and get the exact same thing. I also noticed between 55-65 I would get slight vibration on the highways (Could just be balance since I'm on new tires). Well, I was thinking maybe a CV issue since reverse under load is where you typically feel that first, so I jacked her up this morning and cranked on the drive lines. Nothing seemed loose or sloppy and just got the usual clanking noise in the auto tranny when switching directions.

Passat (B5) :: Driver Side Wheel Shakes And Rattle Noise When Slightly Apply The Brake

Ok everyone the good weather is back, so the drivers side window is down and, I am back to diagnosing an issue that I've been having for some time now. BTW were dealing with my DD 02 1.8t wagon. So all the time over any little bumps in the road or anything that i roll over that "shakes" the drivers side wheel I get this terrible rattle noise. I mean it sounds like I am a dump truck bombing down the road with a bunch of shovels in it......well not that extreme but that sort of shake noise. Anyway the noise however does not occur over any bumps when i even just slightly apply the brake. So I know that it has got to have something to do with the brake rotor or caliper or something on that wheel. Any common issues with brakes? I mean i doubt it is hurting the performance of the vehicle but it is extremely annoying and i feel like something isn't stable that should be until i apply my brakes.

Camry :: 2010 SE Versus LE Grille

I have been looking around online for a chrome grille replacement for my 2010 SE Camry. Problem is every site I visit and 90% of the grilles on ebay only sell grilles that fit the LE or XLE model. They all say "Does not fit Hybrid or SE model" however they look the same size in pictures. Are the LE and SE Grilles really not interchangeable for 2010? Here is an example of one I am looking at:

what years and models are interchangeable with the 2010 SE model.

Camry :: Blacking Out Chrome Strip / Toyota Emblem In Grille?

Notice the chrome bezel around the grille, and the chrome toyota emblem?

What is the best/easiest/most efficient way to black these out? Remove them and paint them? Mask it off and paint them? Plastidip?

I always want to black out the 'Camry', 'Toyota' and 'LE' emblems on the trunk as well.

Golf VI R :: Unable To Remove Front Driver Side Grille

Can't find out how to remove the driver side front bumper grille. I could not see any screws or tabs holding it in. I'm hoping it can be removed without taking off the entire front bumper.

Ford 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel :: Jingling Noise From Grille Area

After towing my jeep 4 hours round trip for an offroading day, I noticed a jingling/rattling noise from my grille area. It is less audible from above (hood open), to my surprise. Everything works fine still, including the fan kicking on while pulling a hill as expected.

The only related thing I can think of is that I changed my belt before this trip because the old one squealed when it accelerated the fan and when it held full speed (2000+rpm fan speed). The new gatorback belt did not squeal at all. Could I have hurt the tensioner by pulling the belt too hard to remove it? I used the method of pulling the belt up on the passenger side of the alternator to get it off, and to put the new one on.

I notice the belt tensioner moves a bit at probably 20-30 hz, kinda dancing around. I don't know if it did that before.

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: Bubble On Grille / Noise And Rear Defrost Down

My Platinum has 23000 miles now and is a little over a year old. Lots of small problems so far but Ford too care of everything on warranty.

Now I discovered 2 small bubbles on the grille and so not like that. Also the rear defrost does not turn on. Neither by pushing the button on the console or the touch screen one. It does not activate - no indicator turns on nor does it defrost.

For once a week at least I got a grinding noise/vibration from the front power train. Ford can't find any issues and it never does it when they test drive.

Prius (Gen 4) :: 2016 - Grille Shutter Inoperative Warning And Check Engine Light On

Relatively new 2016 Prius Four with all the boxes checked was working just fine this morning. At the end of the work day I got in the car to drive home and I got a warning - 'Grille Shutter Inoperative Visit Your Dealer' - accompanied by a check engine light.

Since I'm a little over 200 miles from a dealership I'm in a bit of a spot. They have a local shop that they contract with but they can't get me in until Thursday.

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: Wasted Space At Front End Between Bumper / Grille And Radiator

My rig is a 2013 5.0 extended cab. Seems to me that there is some "wasted space" at the front end between the bumper/grille and the radiator. I'm thinking that some sheet metal/expanded metal work or maybe some fiberglass formed to fit that the space could make a neat storage area for stuff like jumper cables, an emergency road side kit and other stuff.

I have a 2011 f250 sd that I removed the front grill and noticed 3 of the clips that hold the lower part of the grill in (bolts on the top) are broke. I went to the local Ford dealer for the clips and was told I have to buy the whole complete grille for it. The parts breakdown doesn't show the clips sold individually from the grille.

Ford - Taurus :: Vibration Happens Mostly Between 20 And 30 Mph When Apply Brake

I had all my brakes done on my 2000 Ford Taurus but my mechanic cant seam to fix my front right brake. The problem is the front right brake grabs unevenly after driving the car for twenty minutes. The vibration happens mostly between 20 and 30 mph when I apply the brake. First he put new ceramic brake pads on and machines the rotor. Then the original calipers seized. He then replaced the calipers. Then the calipers they replaced seized. He then replaced the calipers and pads again. Two weeks later the uneven braking starts again. He then re-machines the rotor or replaces them. Two weeks later the uneven braking starts again. What is going on?
