| I recently removed and replaced the glove box to replace the light. After reinstalling, the dome lights and locks and glove box light do not come on and the car will not start. Other dash lights and head lights work. Starter will not turn. Is this a fuse or did I cut a wire? I tried several fuses but all seem OK. Help | |

ask for maintenance record. It must show oil changes each 5K miles and only oils meeting certain (VW 502.00 or 503.01) specification (the easiest available are Mobil 1 0W40 and Castrol Syntec 0W30). V6 is not as picky with oil as I4 but must use the same oils. Krzys |

| Just bought a used 2001.5 Passat 1.8t with 80k. The engine is way noisy when started on a cold morning. It seems to be very slow to warm-up. The noise is kind of metallic and is coming from the driver's side of the engine compartment with a pronounced loud whining during acceleration. Once the engine warms to 190 or so it quiets down.The heater blows cold for the longest time as well. Any advice? Thanks | |

I have a 2000 Passat 6cy. 2.8L. I am looking for a good repair manual because I believe I will have many small items which are expensive at dealer but I my be able to handle with used parts. Any suggestions on which manual would work best especially for small items such as door locks, cup holder (rear) etc. Thanks. Mark

While im here i might as well ask two questions that ive been waiting for someone to answer. First: is it possible to install a cold air intake on a 2000 Passat 1.8t? Second: there is coolant leakage around the hoses that surround my oil filter and over time it crusts around the hoses and around my filter, its not alot but should i look at it seriously and what is causing it? thanks to anyone in advance, aa |

I currently have a Jetta Wagon and am considering a Passat for more space. I'm not set on having a Turbo engine, but found an '04 for sale that's a good price. I'm hoping to learn more about the Turbo engine and if there's anything I should be concerned about or look out for. The car has had regular oil changes at the dealership. The oil pump was just replaced, I don't know the details on why. Any suggestions, cautions, concerns? Thanks in advance! Lisa
