    Multiple codes ... help!

    That is a great idea. I am leaving on a six week trip in the morning and really needed to get this car out of the garage. I replaced the fuse and fired it up. Cleared the codes and took it for a test drive. Everything works for now. I will start the trouble shooting for shorted wires when I...

    Multiple codes ... help!

    QuickTD, Thank you so much! Sure enough, the 15A fuse was blown. Now to track down the offending component. I will start with the crankcase heater and wiring. Would you perhaps have a test procedure for this, ie: expected voltage and resistance?

    My daughter just "limped" home in her 05 Passat TDI wagon. The CEL, flashing glow plug light, and 'emission workshop' are all on. I checked it with my VAG-COM and got 6 codes. 17075 (P0691), 16629 (P0245), 19557 (P3101), 16955 (P0571), 19558 (P3102), 16627 (P0243). It appears that it may be...

    Drive flange oil seal replacement

    Passenger side is really easy. No need to remove axel. Turn steering wheels +/- 15 degrees to the left, unbolt the axel from the flange, and move the axel rearward. Remove center bolt from flange and pull the drive flange out.

    Remote won't unlock passenger or rear doors

    I also recently changed the car battery and then had key-fob unlock issues. The fobs would lock the doors, unlock the trunk, and ONLY unlock the drivers door. I tried the passenger door switch (at first to no avail) but then turned the ignition switch to accessory and then cycled the passenger...

    Transmission Removal Procedure

    I just R&R'd my tranny to access my torque converter. Everything went fine and my rebuilt (by Erickson) TC locks up perfectly now. One problem that I cant figure out is I am now getting an intermittent 'ALTERNATOR WORKSHOP' and battery icon. It only comes on while hard accelerating. I...

    a/c freezing up

    Just rented a 2014 Jetta sedan and the AC would stop working above 70 MPH. No kidding, at 70.5 MPH it would blow warm moist air. Decelerate to 70 or below and it would blow cold. We joked about it being a rental car 'governor'. We decided that it would take more time to find a rental...

    A/C not working on my 05' Passat Wagon

    Wow! There is a second relay panel behind the primary relay panel. There are three more radiator fan relays there. Two are labeled 373 and one is 370. There is also a very large (1+ inch across) blade type 40a fuse (below and left of the 370 relay). After finding and testing the three...
