    Flashing Glow Plug

    Matt Thank you for taking the time to explain this. I will use VAG COM again and check group 6 to make sure the two digits are changing simultaneously when depressing the brake-hopefully an adjustment of the switches is all that is needed. Will research how to monitor the QA when "key on"...

    Oil Hammer thanks. A little confused in that I'm seeing 2014 Passats listed on Cars.com that are listed as manual trans-6 speed always an SE model. Is it not a true manual with a clutch? One of those clutchless shifters I've seen on rental cars. Kind of important as would like to maybe tow...

    Considering a NMS Passat-What SHould I Know

    Very familiar with the 1z, AHU and ALH's but when looking online for another older TDI I see that VW is selling the TDI's that were in the buyback. I thought only the 2015's were being sold. Now am considering a purchase of a Passat. Mainly because I'm a big guy at 6'4" and 250#. Know nothing...

[/url][/IMG] Did a quick search and seems like this JBS technologies made remote start units but I don't have a remote for it. Is this something that VW put on the car. Thought perhaps it was for a...
