Passat (B6) :: LED (SMD) Courtesy Bulbs (under Dash) Keep Shutting Off


Jun 16, 2009

I just replaced the interior bulbs with LED's (3 Chip SMD's). The bulbs in the glove compartment and overhead rear lights remain on but the ones under the dash (driver and passenger courtesy lights) turn off within a few seconds. What could be going on.

Avalon 2005-12 :: How To Replace Door (courtesy) Bulbs

I have read several threads about replacing them with LED's (which is what I am doing), but I cannot figure out how to get that plastic cover out!

I don't want to just start jamming the screwdriver in randomly, as I will probably crack something.

Passat (B6) :: Headlamp Bulbs Replacement In 2006 VW

My front dipped headlamps both burnt out within days of each other and I replaced them with H7 Sylvanias. Pretty easy to get out, but they are too dim. I believe I do not have them installed properly.

Looking for PDF for this replacement procedure and/or give a description of how this is done???? It is kind of a bugger to get inside that housing. I am a mechanical novice with cars, but a competent M1/M14 gunsmith. I really can't justify paying VW $50 to install a few bulbs. I like fixing things for myself.

Passat (B5) :: 2004 VW - Changing Headlight Bulbs?

Is this any easier in my 2004 VW Passat than it was in my 2001 VW Jetta? In the Jetta, I had to disconnect the battery and dislocate my elbow and wrist in order to get my hand in the awkwardly placed compartment. Also, is it worth stepping up the original OEM to high intensity bulbs?

Any tricks that will make this job easier? They seem buried and when I reach I am only guessing as to what I am pulling out. For example, I pulled out a round cover, but what was it covering up? Must the bulb be twisted and then pulled or just pulled?

Passat (B6) :: Headlight Low Beam Bulbs Failure

I have a 2006 VW Passat which has been eating low beam bulbs. I've probably replaced this one 4 times in the last 12 months. The last time I replaced was 2 days ago with a Sylvania bulb. Yesterday on my way to work it burnt out. Then on my way home last night I was pulled over by a cop for it. That really annoyed me.

Having issue with Passat burning through headlight bulbs? Do I need to have the wiring assembly checked or possibly replace the entire headlight assembly? I'm getting really tired of changing these bulbs so often.

Passat (B7) :: Marble Sound When Shutting Car Off

I know VW's are quirky. When I shut the engine off, around 5 seconds later there comes a funny marble dropping sound from the engine compartment. It sounds as if you were to drop a marble on a table and let it bounce a couple times. I can't figure out what it is.

Passat (B6) :: Car Quickly Shutting Off Right After Starting While Still In Park

Having an intermittent problem when starting the car.

The car quickly shutting off right after starting while still in Park.

It does not do it all the time, but about every 3rd of 4th start attempt it will do this. If I step on the accelerator, I can avoid the car from shutting off.

The car has 62k miles and spark plugs were replaced at 50k.

Passat (B6) :: Key Hard To Remove When Shutting Off The Engine?

Ok I've had this issue since picking up the vehicle back in January. it has gotten worse over the last few weeks. When shutting off the engine and trying to remove the key, I have to wiggle it around in the slot before it would come out. Sometimes I have to push it back in (which starts the engine again) a couple of times before it will come out.

On my previous passat, and on my wife's passat, I simply press it in to shut off the engine, and the key just pops out. no force needed. This only happens after the car has been driving around a little bit. (i.e. if I just start the engine then shut it off without driving it around, the key pops out easily). Local dealer says its normal. If this is normal, then my other two passats are then abnormal?
