Replying to: navyguy1990 (Jul 10, 2009 2:17 pm) There was a recall in the US for replacing the seal on the air intake on the ventilation system, but I don't know if you can get that done in Korea (IIRC). Next cut off the ends of the sunroof drain tubes located near the upper hinge of the front doors. They are black and they are tappered. THis will help reduce the risk of having the sunroof flood the car. Good luck! |

Replying to: altair4 (Jul 11, 2009 6:29 am) Thank you for your keen insight. I have no access to normal equipment and such, so I've had the car towed to a VW service center. I'm leaving it there for them to completely dry out the car and try to salvage the electronic components. I don't know how much it will cost me, but they looked like they've done this before. I just hope the electronic components are not permanently damanged and can be dried out. Thanks to you and Krzys, I felt relieved to know the cause of this bizarre problem. Now the only stress remaining is the pricetag of the repair. Thanks again. Navy Guy |

Replying to: altair4 (Jul 11, 2009 6:29 am) I think the Korean VW dealership addressed the water intrusion sources, including the drain under the battery and the sunroof hoses. Now, they're telling me that I need a new ABS Module. I'm currently on a business trip to Texas, so I'm checking to see if I could buy it and take it home on Saturday. However, the part # the Korean dealership provided 3B0 927 156 AH doesn't match the SKU# I'm seeing on the online parts stores. Can you shed some light on this? I have 2003 Passat GLS 1.8T. Thank you. Navy Guy

Replying to: navyguy1990 (Jul 16, 2009 8:09 am) ETKA says this is for >> 3B-3-600 000. I don't know if that's a serial number from the VIN. It looks like that module is for a certain series of Passats. I don't know if it is the correct one for your car, though. Hope this helps!

Replying to: altair4 (Jul 16, 2009 10:25 am) Thank you so much. I've finally found the part on a website strictly using the part #, and it costs $1200. Wow! Thanks again. Navy Guy

Replying to: navyguy1990 (Jul 16, 2009 3:21 pm) Maybe try for a salvage part, before you head back to Korea? BTW, thanks for your service in the military!

Replying to: altair4 (Jul 17, 2009 6:19 am) Thank you for the info. I've had previously ordered from 1stvwparts, but my government computer wouldn't let me access the site due to invalid certificate. I've just called their toll free number and ordered. I had hoped to buy at one of the dealers, even if it cost little bit more, but nobody had it in their stock. Thank you for your encouraging words regarding my military service. I'm proud to be an American representing my country overseas. While I feel a bit uneasy with North Korean rhetorics sometimes, it's nothing compared to the hardships that our men and women face in Iraq and Afghanistan. Thank you again for your advice. Navy Guy
