I've got a 1999 Passat.  When the wipers are shut off, they stop in
the "up" position - the far left side of their normal travel.  (I
believe newer Passats have a way to put the blades into the "up"
position for maintenance, but this year allegedly does not.)

Hi Guys *(and Girls)
This has started happening over the past 7 days.
2 ltr passat 2002 mdl year.
Car usually takes 15 mins to get up to temp (90 degrees)

we bought a 2007 jetta and we have not replaced the oil and filter on
this car. We bought the oil filter filament but not sure where the oil
filter housing. Where is the housing for the oil filter? Any special
tools to replace the filter? Any special direction on removing the

Hi drivers-
I know very little about auto electrical stuff, so forgive me if I'm
missing something really obvious.
The car is a 96 Passat wagon, auto, vr6.

I was doing the weekly underbonet checked oil, washer fluid, etc etc and
noticed the auxilary belt on my 1.6 16v 2001 golf is quite worn. Went out
and bought a replacement but I have no idea how to get the old one off ?
Its tensioned pretty tight so no really a levering it off ...

the jetta was put in the shop 11 days ago to have the oil pump or the
sensor replaced in addition to front wheel bearings and hub rotor.
prior to car going in oil pressure alarm/light would go off unless i
was @ or above 3200rpm & i would experience a slight loss of power.

Took my car in for annual required safety inspection.
Advised shop that I smelled something like hot oil after driving
awhile.
Mechanic said smell came from leaking valve cover.

A general question for those more intelligent than I:
Is it acceptable to replace only one front tire? My 2005 Passat TDI had a
nail in the Sidewall. 32000 miles on the original tires. They still have
lots of life in them.

Apologies for posting to the vw news group as I have a seat ibiza fr
1.9tdi 130pd but it has the same engine as the golf etc so hopefully
you can help.
I've just bought the car so don't know if this is normal but I can

I have a 2004 VW Golf, with the original AM/FM/CD receiver replaced
with a Kenwood receiver that has MP3 and Sirius radio capability.
In general, it works fine.  However, there is an intermittent problem
with distorted crackling in high frequencies on the left channel only.

The exhaust port on my 1985 Passat has a hard white deposit inside it  ( I'd
post a pic if I knew how!). I thought it might be water but if it is wouldent
there be some evidence of failure of the head gasket? There is none that I
can see. The valve itself also has some of this white ...

I hope to take my '06 B6 Passat to Bordeaux during the summer and would like
to avoid blinding the foreign drivers with my RHD Left dip headlights. I
notice that though they aren't asymmetric like all previous lights they
still appear to be biased to the left.

What sort of complications could I expect moving the 16V engine from a 1987
Scirocco into a 1990 Corrado G60?
The Scirocco is kaput (harvested the transmission to keep my other Scirocco
going), the body is beat to hell, and so on.

What body lines will an A3 motor and transmission swap into?
I've driven A1 and A2 cars for years, but now I have my first A3 body
car that I just crashed and have a strong, healthy motor and
transmission with only 75K miles on them.  This is a '98 Golf 2.0 5

Just collected the caravelle from the local garrage after some work.
They have pointed out from the service record that the last time the
timing belt was changed was in 2003 fifty two thousand miles ago.
They told me they would not want to do the work but that vw charge about
