    Buyback COMPLETED Car is now in Dealership Lot

    Dropped the car off last week, got the transfer in my bank at the right time. My Passat had the CEL on too (adblue heater), but they didn't care. Overall I'm very happy with the buyback process and compensation. Too bad VW screwed it up so badly, I really liked the car and mileage. I will stay...

    Passat NMS service manuals

    Sorry I had to remove the files after receiving a warning for copyright infringement. I don't have those files anymore, try asking some of the guys who replied to the thread last week, they should have downloaded the files when available.

    I've been driving with the CEL on for months already (same code), and I won't fix anything. Just check for error codes every couple of weeks, in case there's something new you are not aware of.

    Door lock actuator

    I finally did it. The trick is rotating the lock assembly 180 degrees on the vertical axle before trying to go pass the window bar. So here's the list of things to do: - Remove door panel - Remove lock cylinder (very important) - Remove the plastic cover on the assembly, or you won't be able...

    Door lock actuator

    I will try again as soon as I have some time. I spent 30 minutes on it then I had to go to back to work. Let me ask you first if you had the plastic cover on the faulty actuator already. If so, did you have to remove it before trying to get the lock assembly out?
