#8186 of 8249 Re: TO IVAN 99...Purchase? [ivan_99] by jimmmmmy Sep 28, 2007 (6:20 pm)
Replying to: ivan_99 (Aug 11, 2007 4:28 am) IVAN 99 - Well, the 2001 passat 1.8T is absolutely the worst car I have ever owned. Many, many problems w/engine, sensors, electronics, trunk latch, glove box, etc... I bought it new and I still have it... each time I have had a repair (by the dealer), I say, "that must be the last problem." But, it never is. The only good thing about the car is the paint job. When clean it looks as shiny as new. Good luck to you...I would look for a Honda or a Toyota if you have not purchased VW yet. I would look at Hyundai before VW as well.

Replying to: jslade (Oct 01, 2007 5:15 pm) PLEASE STOP YELLING, IT'S CONSIDERED RUDE AND RATHER ANNOYING. Thank you.   That said, your car came with a special insert that deals with resetting the radio (which was probably built in Asia by the way). If you don't have it, call VWoA, I believe they keep them on file.   Best Regards, Shipo
#8192 of 8249 2002 VW Passat - egine start issues.. by drperu76 Oct 09, 2007 (7:48 am)
Hey everyone, Maybe someone can help. The egine in my 02 VW passat wont start. Wont even turn. I tought it might be electrical so because the lgiths in car wont even start. So I changed the battery. And nothing. With the new battery some of the electricle comes on. But stays dime like the battery is draing. When i jump start the car it turns fine without any problems. could this be the alternator? or some short in the systems and adavice?
