#8190 of 8249 Re: VW 98 PASSAT SEDAN RADIO PROB. [jslade] by shipo Oct 01, 2007 (5:24 pm)
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.

Replying to: jasonallison (Dec 21, 2007 5:34 pm) I just sold my 2001 VW Passat GLX V6 -- basically loaded -- to Carmax for $4500. It had 39,000 miles on it.   Not very much, $4500, is it?   Here is what I experienced in my efforts to sell and here is what I concluded:   1) People in the used car business -- dealers, Carmax, etc -- don't actually use Kelly Blue Book. They use something called the Black Book. Everyone purchaser of used cars uses this Black Book and it is well below any of KBB's numbers, or edmunds, or NADA.   2) To get top dollar your car needs to be utterly clean. Mine was anything but -- Fair condition at best.   3) I decided it was not worth it to spend the time and effort to get top dollar for my Passat. In an hour and a half I had a check from Carmax and I walked out the door.   At the beginning of my efforts to sell this car I was thinking $8000 for sure but I am fairly certain the only way I could swing that would be to invest time and money in body repair, touch ups, etc.   Hope this helps.

#8199 of 8249 Possessed AntiTheft System by gdubyasvw Sep 02, 2008 (8:51 pm)
Recently purchased 02 Passat 2.8L V6. Lot's to like about the care but it certainly seems to have an annoying anti-theft system. I find that I can't leave it unlocked in the garage for more than about 1 minute before the system is armed and ready. As soon as someone goes out and opens an already unlocked door, the alarm screams. Also notice that sometimes simply shutting the hood or trunk lid sets the thing off. Anyone know if this if proper operation? It seems to me that I should be able to leave the car unlocked in the driveway or garage and then access the car at anytime without worrying about having the transmitter in my pocket. Any help would be appreciated. Is it possible there are sensors that are failing or need reprogramming?
