    Help with no start

    I'm a rookie although I'm accumulating quite a herd. My first thought was fuel delivery which you've got covered. My second thought is the rate at which the engine is spinning. There is a computer sensor (I think) that electronically demands a certain spin speed before it will go. On more...

    '96 B4V Dash Removal

    Any tips? I have all the center console, stereo, dash vent covers, AC controls, etc out of the way already. Going in to replace felt on the blend doors, which requires removal of the HVAC. Would you guys replace the heater core while in there? $100 or so.... I wish I knew how to 'search' the...

    Two Blend Doors? '96 Passat B4V

    Thanks again for clarification. One guy posted that he was able to do it without dash and HVAC removal, but I suppose he was only referring to the forward blend door. I did that one with a pancake turner (slipped it through the crack and applied the felt to the blend door). Worked well...

    Two Blend Doors? '96 Passat B4V

    Ok I located the L shaped, double doors. I was able to get to the first flap covered, but can only see the second one with a mirror inside there. No way in the world I can get my hand or a tool in there. You guys mentioned splitting the box, but for some reason (I've studied both sides...

    Two Blend Doors? '96 Passat B4V

    That makes total sense now because in repairing (the only one I could see), it helped with air flow, but not with temp. Before I repaired it, I'd get about 25% through the vents, 25% in defrost, 25% to my feet, etc (regardless of what setting the air flow indicator was on). I'll try to get to...

    Two Blend Doors? '96 Passat B4V

    Thanks to many of you for helping me through my 'low' heat situation. The only foam left was blowing through my vents. My question now: are there TWO Blend Doors or ONE? I found one and put the sticky felt over the holes. But upon test driving the car (with all the components out of the way) I...

    Blend Door Location ?? '96 Passat B4V

    Ninedee... Can you give me an idea of where the Blend Door(s) are? I assume that the location lays between where the two heater hoses come in from the engine compartment and in back of the HVAC???? I stuck a mirror back in there but am not quite sure what I'm looking for thanks dp

    Blend Door Location ?? '96 Passat B4V

    My problem is the deterioration of the foam in the Blend Door so that heat coming from the heater core is lost through all the leaks. I have the replacement felt in hand, but can't locate the blend door. I have the center of the car ripped apart (AC controls, Stereo, Center Console, Heating...
