The only problem I am having with this car is that the sunglass case in the overhead console behind the sunroof controls will not stay shut. It keeps falling open. I suspect it will have to be replaced. I hate to go to the dealer if I don't have to.

View 1 RepliesFor those who have cracked open our transmissions. Do you have to take out the retainer clip under the black cap in order for it to fully release? I've gotten all the case bolts out and tried to lift it up but it still felt if something was holding it down. Would that be it?
View 7 RepliesOne of the things that kind of annoys me about the B7 is that none of the plastic storage areas are lined. Hence, whenever you put something in them it rattles around when you drive. I was searching the web for a solution and ran across this product: [URL]...............
It is a flocking kit.
My new 2008 2.0T Passat wagon, Lux version has a 20" L x 5" W x 1.5" D space on the inside of the rear hatch behind the license plate with two knobs that you turn to open it. The covering door is hinged and it looks like it might be a space to put something because there are four plastic clips that might be there to retain something. Cannot find any reference to it in the owners manual.

But my first question is: How to change the struts on a 2006 B6 sedan...
The interior trim pieces that are located where the ceiling intersects with the door are falling out. I tried using Gorilla glue to hold them in place but the heat keeps melting it. If I order the new part from the dealer is the trim easy to install myself?

View 3 RepliesThe sunglass bin, in the overhead console that includes map lights and sunroof controls, has been buzzing since a couple of weeks after I bought the vehicle. I've taken it to the dealer several times, but they can never reproduce the issue. Today, I decided to take a closer look myself. I removed the bin and then drove for a bit; the buzzing noise continued, even with the bin door removed. Therefore, the buzzing must be coming from the plastic trim around the sunglass bin.
View 1 RepliesI have a 2011 SE and the sunglass holder on the ceiling will not stay in the up position. When I first purchased the car it stayed up with nothing in it but when I had a normal pair of glasses in it after the sun beat on it for a little while it would come down on its own, but now even with nothing in it, it just opens back up every single time I close it. It looks like the little plastic "arm" with a metal pin in it on the right side is just sitting there and should be attached to it some how but I can't see how to/where to put it in the holder itself.

I bought a new sleeve from the dealership, but not sure how to uninstall the old one and put in the new one.The oil sleeve is in a tight spot. I can't understand how to remove it without taking apart other engine parts.
The sunroof drains on my '02 wagon clogged, causing water to start dripping out of the overhead console. ARF! The repair is gonna cost me a lot. What sounds really strange is that the mechanic tells me that the outlets from the drain tubes are slightly crimped. This makes them impossible to flush and requres removal of the headliner and interior A-pillar trim sot that the hoses can be pulled and replaced. The mechanic then tells me that he will cut off the crimped portion of the tube outlets to enable them to flow freely. Crimping the outlets sounds like a really stupid thing to do. What purpose could this serve?
View 7 RepliesYou know that little storage compartment with the electric socket (looks like an ashtray), well all of a sudden today mine won't stay closed. I've had it get stuck closed, but never stuck open, how to know exactly where the hinge is? Could it be stuck in the closed position? Or is it a spring or something? I know I could take it to the dealer and have it fixed but I really don't have time to drop it there.
View 5 RepliesMy ex-was broken into 2 nights ago and the thieves made off with about 3 grand of tools. Any safe storage in the back of an ex? Maybe something like those boxes made for pickup beds. The only idea I have is bolting a gang box to the floor of the ex where the 3rd row usually goes. I'm not looking to spend too much so try to keep the suggestions to something that wouldn't cost too much more than $500ish.

View 4 RepliesI have an 05 Prius with pump issues. My coolant storage pump has been making an intermittent coarse squealing noise since I've owned the car. It seems to be worse in cooler weather. It only happens when turning the car off. Does this pump only operates after shutting the car off? If that's the case, then I won't worry too much about it. If it's supposed to function when the car is on, then I may worry. Does the pump keep running until it's finished, or is it just a timed cycle? I'm concerned if there's air in the line, it may prevent the pump from completing it's job if it's on a timed cycle. Also, if I have to replace this pump, how would I go about bleeding all of the air out of the system?
View 5 RepliesI have an 09 SE, In the center area under the radio I had a access card slide over the open bottom door into the abyss where I lost a tire gauge and who knows what else lurks in there. It was supposed to go in the top open area but the person just put it on the open door and it slid back and fell.
How to remove the side panels that run from the console in the center to under the dash? I need to access the area under the dash below the 2 storage areas.
I am assuming you take the screws out on the side and possibly pop the shift indicator panel out and lift the console off? Seems a little overkill unless there is an easier way. I really don't want to experiment and break anything.
