Passat (B6) :: Sunroof Started Activating Pinch Protection Consistently


Jun 25, 2007

Just got the car back from the dealer. I had the issue last summer, about this time as well. Sunroof started activating the pinch protection consistently. Took in, re-lubed tracks, re-set timing. [URL] ....

Golf/GTI VI :: Sunroof Has Started To Rattle When Open

I have a few different rattles going on that I am not sure how to fix. I did a quick search and didn't find exactly what I was looking for.

1) Sunroof sunshade - about a week ago, the sunshade on the sunroof has started to rattle when the sunroof is open. If I lightly push up on the sunshade the rattle stops. The rattle goes away when the sunroof is closed.

2) Armrest - I get a rattle when driving over anything but super smooth roads if the armrest is any position but all the way down and pushed in. When armrest is extended, if I put any weight on it, the rattle pretty much goes away.

3) Driver side dash vent - again over anything but super smooth roads, the driver's side vent on the dash (next to the top of the drivers door) will rattle. If I push on the vent, the rattle is reduced but doesn't go away completely.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Car Came With No Sunroof But Seals Started Leaking

So I bought my 03 golf 2.slow about 10 years ago used and it came with a moonroof... not a sunroof. I never really thought about it and just assumed it was a option from the factory but the seals have been leaking lately and I was looking for a replacement seal and could not find anything only sunroof parts. Is this an aftermarket moonroof where they cut a hole in the roof and added this?..I really hope not. Or did someone take the sunroof assembly out and put this in its place.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Harness Protection Coolant Temp Sensor

I just replaced my CTS, and I noticed that there is a small section of exposed harness wiring between the end of the loom and the CTS connector. I can't tell if it came loose when I swapped the sensor, or if it was this way for awhile, but all of the other harness connections around this area are completely covered and the loom end doesn't seem to clip into the connector or anything. If I were to try and seal it, I would need to use tape.

How hot does this area get? It seems like there shouldn't be exposed wiring here.

Picture taken with the new sensor: [URL] ...

IS F (2008-2014) :: Wind Noise From Paint Protection Film On Mirrors

Had clear bra installed on my car. They had to redo the mirrors and the hood pieces because they didnt install the self healing film the first time. After the tech installed the second pieces I noticed an annoying whistling noise from the drivers mirror. I taped it off and even wedged a piece of thin plastic in the gap between the base of the mirror and the car to see if it would stop.

Anyway did a little research and found to my dismay that guys with the 4GS and 3IS are having the same issue when installing paint protection film on the drivers mirrors. As far as they know the remedy is to remove the film. I am assuming it has to do with the positioning or thickness of the film because it did not make any noise with the basic film installed and where it was installed.

I just went down to the garage and peeled it off, took it for a ride, and BOOM .....silence . Crazy that a thin film on the mirror could cause wind noise .

Ford Excursion :: 2001 - Code P1299 - Cylinder Head Overtemp Protection Active

2001 EX 4WD 6.8l ... Just finished an engine rebuild and have a single DTC showing that I am having a problem isolating. In short: P1299 Cylinder Head Overtemp Protection Active. I have new sensors all around however. I have run a separate ground to the intake manifold to rule out bad ground. I have cleaned all ground connections otherwise. After clearing codes and start from cold, the issue does not occur until the engine warms up. I was seeing temps over 250 F on my scantool.

I pulled the thermostat and ran from cold... took a lot longer, but the condition eventually occurred. Scantool shows temp of 255.2 when protection kicked in. However, the engine, radiator, intake manifold all just slightly warm to the touch, barely no heat coming through the HVAC system. So, I do believe I had a new bad thermostat in the mix, but why do I still throw a code for the high temp. Temp gauge sits at Cold the whole time. Here's the catch, if I disconnect only the air coolant temp sensor, the problem does not occur, the engine runs like a kitten.

Key On, Engine off, the coolant temp gauge goes right to Hot and stays there. When the problem first started, the coolant temp gauge started going back and forth between Cold and Hot repeatedly. I have replaced that particular sensor twice to rule out a new bad sensor. Key on, engine off; with new sensor reads 185 ECT temp. Original sensor read 318, first replacement read 257. This third sensor is the only one that actually registers changing temperatures.

On my '12 F-150 Ecoboost there is a substantial opening in the lower center of the vehicle. I know that you can purchase a small after-market grill insert for that area. Is it wise to do that, or is in fine the way it is?

Passat (B5) :: Sunroof Opened On Its Own?

Came in on a cool cloudy morning to work. I listened to the torrential downpours all morning, then it cleared out. When I went out to the lot at quitting time, I was horrified to see the sunroof open. When I got in the car, it was dry, so sometime after the storms moved out, it got opened. I do leave the car unlocked, but can't imagine someone opened it, in fact I think you can't after the key has been removed for a while. Should I pull the fuse to it???

Sometimes the sun roof of my 2001 Passat will open about 1/5 when the car is on and even when it is parked overnight. Why does this happen? Luckily it wasn't raining the other night when it happened.
