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

#8194 of 8249 Selling my 2001 VW Passat Wagon by jasonallison Dec 21, 2007 (5:34 pm)
Hello all,   I am selling my 01 Passat Wagon GLS V6. Been a great vehicle for the family, but I just purchased a 07 Odessey for more family room. I will be selling the VW privately and it will be my first private sale. I wanted to inquire about recommended asking price.   01 GLS V6 Wagon 84k - Auto, Cloth Tape/CD/4 disk changer non-smoker I am 2nd owner, bought in 02 with 11k on vehicle   KBB says about $8500. Looking are cars.com for comps, most comparables are $11k-13k.   What does the group recommend an asking price? Any other advice?   Thanks in advance Replies to this message: robr2 (Dec 28, 2007 7:02 am) jc07 (Dec 29, 2007 2:21 pm)

#8196 of 8249 Cloth detaching from door panels & sunshade. by sarasotalady Dec 28, 2007 (11:32 pm)
I have a 1999 VW Passat Wagon w/75,000 miles. Cloth is detaching from front door panels and around door handles. Cloth almost totally detached from sunshade in roof. .. Center armrest cover is broken. Gearshift boot is threadbare. I'm not a DIY'er . One auto reupholstery shop recommended I get try to locate salvage parts rather than having parts reupholstered.       Would appreciate your thoughts on way to go -- salvage or reupholstery. Is reupholstery a very time consuming job for auto shop? What do I need to request so that cloth doesn't detach again?   Appreciate your help.
