How to remove the rub strips to the center of the bumper, next to the front blinkers? I have removed the grill for the foglights, then the blinker assembly, and then what? Does the bumper need to come off in order to remove it from the back of the bumper?

View 3 RepliesIt worries me that this is happening as they might come out completely during driving or whatever. It's not the chrome strips on the sides but the ones that are near the windows on the doors. It's both the chrome strips on the window/door sills and the non-chrome strips on top sides of the roof. I check them every now and then and just use my finger to pop them back in if they come out but it's just weird that this happens.
Also I have a bad rattle from the broken plastic cover thing under the steering wheel. (probably broken when changing brake thingie controller or whatever the mechanic said.
The weekend project this weekend will be replacing the front blinker bulbs with HID switchback bulbs.
I know I need to access the bulb under the car but who has done this before? I also need to install load resistors...I am starting to think this is gonna be a real PITA.
Especially on where you mounted your load resistors so that they were in a safe spot.
I looked on youtube but couldn't find a install for a sonata.
I am thinking I may ask my neighbor who owns a garage if we can install them over there and use the the lift and actually take the front wheels off.
They blink once or twice then stop. What needs to be done and is it a job a backyard mechanic can easily handle?
View 10 RepliesA friend of mine has a 99 passat. Driving home, his turning signals and blinkers stopped working. The lights work with the alarm though. The fuse was fine. Is there a relay that craps out on these cars?

View 1 RepliesMy wifes car has an issue of the blinker relay energizing after the blinkers are turned off. The relay is a hazard/blinker in the same relay. Once the blinker is off the relay clicks but the blinker nor hazards blink.
View 1 RepliesI have been reading threads all day. Noone seems to have exactly the same issue so I'm just looking for some clarification. Turn signals dont work but lights work as "parking lamps" and internal climate lights are not illuminating either. Also, my blinkers making the clicking noise but much faster when the turn signal bulbs are not flashing. I had a radio issue but that is resolved. Where do I start? Do I go right for the hazard relay? I read somewhere there was an ignition relay that could potentially be causing all of this?

View 16 RepliesWhat the effect is of taking out the key fob while your car is in motion? I was on the highway once, and my friend asked what would happen if i were to try to take out the key.. I figured to myself, "VW surely must've implemented some sort of safety mechanism..", so i confidently gave it a try.. and to my surprise, the key actually came right out, and my console (speedometer / tach / fuel / engine temp) shut down.. I kinda panicked, and just popped the key fob right back in, and all was well after that.. What is actually going on with the car when you do this?

I am debating removing this as I don't really need it for my driving and the extra 450 lbs and hanging out there in the wind can't be good for the suspension and economy. Any thoughts on this? What all come off to install one of these things that I would need to replace with stock?
View 14 RepliesMy ride is 06 Passat v6 4motion. I got 45K on it.
Last night, when I came back home, I could not pull out my key from dash. I tried several times to pull out my key but to fail. So I left my key in the ignition hole and locked my car using spare key. This morning, I tried again but still stuck in dash.
What is worse is that when I arrived dealer shop for that problem, I could pull out my key from dash!

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.
