Passat (B6) :: Wipers Did Not Start (Code P0688) - Sometimes Car Jerks
Jan 22, 2014
It snowed yesterday. While a good amount of snow was on car I put it in garage with a small heater at 45 degrees ambient temp.
This morning I take the car outside to -10 degree weather and driving down the road I tried to wash the windshield. Wipers did not start. No hum no click no movement. Washer fluid worked tho.
Looking up some info I noticed it could be fuse. Checked fuse. Fuse ok. At a loss here.
Driving again I get a speech through speakers from Torque and the elm327. Missed what it said because of music. So I ran the diagnostic and got the P0688 open circuit. Checked online but nothing definitive as to a fix for this except j271.
Another note worth mentioning. Sometimes when I punch it the car jerks almost like it misfires once or loss of traction. Completely random but maybe its associated with this. Wipers worked yesterday...

I have run into a bit of a dilemma with my recently purchased 2010 Camry SE.
Whenever I shift into reverse, the car jerks or shakes for a moment. The engine light is also on.
Before, when I put the car into reverse,there'd also be a knock sound along with a vibration, but the engine light was never on.
Now today, when I put the car in reverse, the vibration/shake/jerk is VERY noticeable and the car almost rocks back and forth for a brief second when this happens and the Engine light stays on.
note that this only happens when I put the car into reverse.

I am having a problem with the vehicle. The other day I noticed that the car jerks a little bit when stopped. I was sitting at a red light and had my foot on the brake. While the brake was applied, I let go of the brake but not enough for the car to roll and then reapplied the brake fully. I did this because I though I got the green light and when I realized it was still red, I reapplied the brake. As soon as the brake went all the way I felt a small jerk on the brake pedal.
I immediately noticed it and thought it was weird. It almost felt like I quickly let go of the brake pedal and quickly applied the brake again. I did it again soon after and felt it again, then again, and then again. I made an appointment at the dealer where the vehicle was bought from to have it looked at. I hope they don't think I am nuts only because you have to do it a certain way in order for it to occur (push the pedal all the way, release the brake the slightest amount, apply the brake and then feel the jerk in the pedal). It definitely doesn't seem normal.

I have an 04 touareg, When I start to accelerate at about 15-20 mpg, it jerks the vehicle once and again at about 40mph. What is wrong?
Another question, when I start to brake and then car jerks once at about 25-30mph, is there something wrong with my brakes?
I went to Volkswagen and they did a check and they said nothing was wrong. I still feel the jerk after the inspection.

I experience a jump or jerk when rolling towards e.g. a stop sign or traffic light, or even in stop-and-go traffic and the transmission shifts down into first gear. The jerk only happens when I stop slowly. If I break fairly hard, this problem does not appear. It even jumps/jerks when I roll down my driveway, breaking slightly. In some cases, I fear that I'll leave the gearbox on the street.
This, of course, does not happen every time, but frequently enough that I asked my VW dealer to take a look at the problem. They changed my spark plugs and said that this may have been the reason
Can not quite make this connection, and of course on my way home the same jump/jerks happen, as on my way to work this morning. I want to take my car back to the dealer, but hopefully with some more insight, since they appear to be clueless.

My '99 Passat (1.8t) shakes and jerks violently during acceleration. If the terrain is smooth & flat I don't seem to have a problem. The problem gets pretty extreme during acceleration especially if going uphill. Also, it seems as if it really kicks in when the transmission shifts gears. I have replaced the fuel filter, dump valve, & all 5 mounts to include the front snub mount.

I have a 1999 Passat 1.8t manual transmission... My car shakes like it's going to stall and sometimes actually stalls when I come near to a complete stop. The car drives really bad... it jerks when downshifting and on accelerating... The performance of the car is crap. also When i put the car into neutral and coast to a stop, the revs will bounce up and down. I posted a couple months ago about this problem and I was told to clean the throttle body. I then cleaned my throttle body and replaced the gasket. This problem went away for about 5 days and then was back again. This problem is the worse when I go to school, which is when it's about 45 degrees outside.

So my trans clicks and jerks every time it downshifts into 2nd but that is the only time it does it. When i down shift using the tip shift it doesn't do anything and it all feels normal. What it could be being that it is just when it downshifts into second.
My car is a 2001 v6 4motion.

I have a 00 1.8t that won't start...
It gives me P1517 fault code and is the only code I'm getting. Replaced starter. I've looked all over and find very little information about this. Some place I read about said relay 377 is the main electrical relay but I can't find where it is.
Is there a missing relay next to 370?

Turn wipers on and motor growls but wipers do not move, checked 30 amp fuse and it is good, all other functions of the multifunction switch are good.

Used to have the wipers move up or down about 1" at stop lights to reverse the blade and extend their life. Now, that doesn't seem to happen. I went into the convenience settings some time ago, but don't believe I changed anything relating to this.

I had a new windshield installed today. After the install was completed, I checked the wipers, and they no longer work. I called the installers, they came back and took the arms off and put them back on. All wires appear connected, though I have not checked voltage. I have no rain sensor. The rear wiper still works. It's an oem windshield...

Started the car up this morning, went to turn on the windshield wipers to remove dirt from the window and they did not turn on. What possibly could be the issue?

I have a 2003 Passat Wagon, V6, with a little over 80,000 miles that has developed a problem that I have not been able to get fixed: after the engine has warmed up, when driving at under 2000 rpm, the car jerks when light throttle is applied. I could also describe it as a thump or shudder. There is a small blip in the tachometer when it jerks. If I give it enough gas to cause the transmission to shift up, it does not jerk, nor does it do it over 2000 rpm. It recently had it's 80,000 mile service and runs very strong and smoothly when given enough gas.
My dealer couldn't figure what was wrong, and after they consulted with VW decided that I must have put in some bad gas. The problem was to have gone away after 5 or 6 tanks of good gas. After that didn't solve the problem, I went to an independent repair shop. They told me that it couldn't be misfire because there were no codes registered. Their theory is that it is problem with the transmission, whereby with light throttle the transmission is told to shift but then slips right back down, thus the jerkiness. They couldn't offer a solution, however. What to do about it?

I have a 2004 Passat V6. Couple of weeks ago the check engine light went on. I went to AutoZone and checked. The code read P3081 (low engine temperature). I knew it might be caused by bad coolant temp sensor or T-Stat sensor. I also experienced that the engine would not start occasionally (prior and post the light on).
My question is that whether the low engine temperature can cause the difficulty to start the engine? How can I figure out which sensor is bad?

2001 V6 Passat with 125k miles throwing a P0430 code.
Having trouble on cold starts, takes about 10 minutes to finally get it to turn over. When it does the idle is extremely rough. For the first 1/4 mile the car bucks, stutters, and misfires. After that it runs fine and starts fine when already warm. I am noticing slightly decreased gas mileage but nothing major.
Valve cover gaskets were replaced 2 months ago, but were leaking oil for at least a year before I could afford to have them replaced. I am still noticing some oil leakage, however not as much as before. I have had both O2 sensors replaced twice in the past 5 years. Timing belt was replaced at 98k. What might be causing the starting issues?
