Passat (B6) :: Transmission Is Out / AC Won't Work
Jun 24, 2008
Well it was a nice and sunny day last Friday and as I was driving home my car started to make a weird noise like I upgraded my engine, but to my disappointment at the next stop light my transmission (AT) wouldn't do anything and just sat there revving the engine. So having had this problem before, I thought it was just the software that they needed to upgrade again, but to my surprise after having the car towed in of course, I find out after 5 DAYS because they were busy to look at it before, that my transmission is OUT they found some loose metal pieces that came off the valve on the transmission (the noise I was hearing).
I almost forgot my A/C is not working either , but luckily I work at a dealership and I will be looking to trade in the passat because I can't handle the disappointments anymore. And btw it's a 06 with 33000 miles package 1

So I stopped at a red light and when it turned green I pressed the gas the engine revved fine but the car went nowhere. Putting the car in park won't hold it either. It's like the transmission won't engage at all.

The gate to the right of the PRNDL gate of the automatic transmission in my 2003 1.8T with the "+" and "-" stopped working. What may be wrong? The transmission works fine and shifts normally. I did replace the fluid recently but did nothing except remove the fluid and refill.

I'm thinking about getting the 2014 Subaru Impreza with the CVT transmission, w/o paddle shifters, and found that there is a manual mode in the CVT. How does that work if there aren't any paddle shifters or actual gears to shift to? (I don't know a lot about cars).

Had my trans worked on, it was out of the car completely. After picking it up, I got it on the highway, got it up to cruising speed, now there's a wobble at 70-80 mph. it wasn't there before I took it in. should I be getting a front end alignment now? waiting to hear back from the shop now.

I have been having transmission problems in my 2005 Ford Escape due to my torque converter coming apart so I took it to a local transmission shop for a rebuild. After 2 days it was ready and I took it home today. I put it in reverse once and it was fine but the second time I tried to back out of my driveway it won't go into reverse. It will go forward though. His shop is closed and I am going to take it in tomorrow morning. I have a warranty but it says I am responsible for labor. Is this something I should have to pay to fix if it happened the same day I picked it up?

I have a 77 F250 with a NP 205, when I lock it into 4H the 4wd works, when I lock it into 4L it goes into low range but the 4wd does not work. What the problem could be?

This morning I was playing around with my 2010 Prius "B" mode - I realize today that when the Prius CVT is in "B" mode the Prius ICE won't turn off even when it is at a complete stop -- instead the ICE runs/idles at a 996 RPM / .20-.40 GPH while stopped in traffic. The coolant temperature (@190F ) doesn't matter, Battery State of Charge (54% soc) doesn't matter. To re-enable the stop-start idle technology - I had to switch the Prius CVT back to "D" mode. I end up burning a bit more fuel on this trip because it took me a while to realize that I was in "B" mode and that the stop start idle technology had disabled in the "B" mode ...

I've been dealing with an A/C issue for a while, ever since last summer. A black on black car is hot enough as it is and with no A/C, it sucks. I took it to the local specialist, not the stealership, Anyway, he looked over it and found that one component wasnt even wired up so he wired it up and fixed it and put some freon in it and it seemed to work fine.... until the freon escaped.

I have a 02 B5.5 Passat w/Climatronic and my AC/heater does not work. What can I do to fix it because I really need the heater during winter time the only thing that heats me up is the seat warmer.

My trip does not work to engage. I own a '01.5 v6 passat and had the transmission rebuilt because it was slipping gears but the trip wasn't working before the tranny problem and doesn't work now.

I used to have LED brake lights in my taillights and decide to change them to old regular bulbs. After that Saturday 3am cruise control don't want to work. Then in the morning with all the lights off (headlights turns etc) the cruise works, as soon as I turn the lights on it stop working. I try to see the what's the cruise control fuse in the fuse card but I can't figure out which one is. 99 passat GLS manual trans.

I just purchased this car and the low beams do not turn on when you turn on the lights. Right now I am driving with te DRLs at night. The high beams works perfectly. The fog lights do not work but I have not checked the bulbs (although the indicator lights on the dash works.)
Also looking for diagram of relays. I looked at the fuse panel and see a lot of empty slots. I have relays numbered 18, 21, 99, 36, 110, 53, 167 on the fuse panel. Could I be missing any?

I have a '98 1.8t and my tiptronic shifter would not work so I did some research and found out about the magnets usually fall off inside the console. Sure enough, mine had fallen off. I glued it back on and my tip still will not work. When i slide the shifter over nothing happens, it just stays in automatic.
I was wondering if there was another switch somewhere or something inside the transmission that just doesn't work anymore.

I have a 99.5 Passat...the power windows will only click inside the doors. I checked all the fuses and specifically the ones that say on the fuse card are fuses for the windows? ...its not a fuse...is there a relay for the power windows that I need to replace?

Okay so yesterday I had to replace my battery because it died just when I was trying to leave for work. Got back on the road it everything was fine. Coming home last night I got a CEL, I figured it was my normal p2177 because of my Forge WINTake that I can't seem to find a fix for. I went to clear the code because I have a fulling loaded APR Stage 1 ECU. Now it won't clear. So this morning I attempted to change programs and it won't change. Should I just go have it reflashed?

Brake lights are OK. Turn signals emergency are OK. High beams and drl work.
We checked the driver door panel fuses and those are OK. Will try to replace a bulb.

Replaced batteries in key fob but does not work.small red light comes on on fob so it is getting power. Maybe a reprogram problem or broken fob.
