Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Replacing Both Front CV Axles
My Axles started to make noises couple months ago While making Sharp turns. I bought some new axles for the front, but this will be my first time replacing CV Axles.
Any tips and or recommendations on what to do and not do, and tools to use? I watched a couple Youtube videos already. I plan on changing them out this weekend.

So I've visited the dilemma of trying to replace my axles 4 times now... going on a 5th... apparently, my car is one of a kind, its a 2000 5 speed 1.8t fwd... so my issue... the axles for the 2000 5 speed 1.8t are not right, no where near close! The v6 manual axles have the wrong hub end, but the correct tranny side..... the 1.8t automatic axles... are about 4 inches too short but everything else is right..

View 1 RepliesPassat (B6) :: 2006 - Replacing The Bulb
Based on what I've gathered, this message means that I need to replace a bulb (and not the whole headlight, right?). I haven't looked in my manual yet...but is there a model number for the bulb if I were to purchase it somewhere (i.e., online) if I intend to replace it myself (and/or have someone other than the dealership replace it)?
I have a '06 Passat 2.0.
Passat (B6) :: Replacing Gear Knob?
Our current gear knob is worn badly, so I bought a new one with the shifter boot/gear gaiter.
I was just wondering, how to take the old one off and put the new one on/or any guides that are about? (they're exactly the same) As it doesn't seem like it screws on as I can't see any thread in the knob.
It the manual 6 speed ....

I bought a new battery for my passat 2001 1.8t, installed it last night car turned on fine. Today turned on fine again I took a ride to the store when I came back the car did not turn on. I go a jump nothing, but the battery had plenty of juice. Lights, radio everything turns on. When I turn the key it doesn't crank at all, and all the dash lights come on. I noticed the alarm does not sound when I manually lock the door. I bought a battery for my keyless remote and noticed the alarm doesn't turn on that way either, nor do the locks function with the remote. Could it possibly have to do with the alarm being deactivated?

I am currently hearing the engine noise. Recently I have replaced my front O2 sensor which I don't think would cause this ticking noise but I figure I should include that info. I already had my cams replaced due to a bad follower. I had my belts and water pump done at 80k I'm currently at 130k. I threw a coolant system code a few days ago, which is odd to me, my temp gauge stays at the same temp it's always shown.

I did the search for this and there seems to be a link that details how to remove the driver's side headlight bulb housing which is different than the passenger side. I got that side replaced with no problem but the driver's side seems to be a pain to remove.

What can I replace my fog light bulbs with that are a little stronger than factory? I don't want to melt the housings and am thinking about amber bulbs. The stock replacements are hardly noticeable when on. It's a '03 W8.
View 2 RepliesPassat (B5) :: 1999 - Replacing Bulb On Temperature Control Panel?
The light behind the temp controls is out on my 99 Passat GLS. First time it went out, I had the dealer replace it. Now, it's out again. The instructions was to pull out the Temp Control Knob and you could see the bulb. I pulled off the Temp Knob on my 99 but did not see a bulb.
Where to find the bulb and how to get to it/replace it (and what bulb this would be).
The 02 bulb responders even said to use a vacuum or a rubber hose to remove. Even if I see a bulb in the center of the Temp Knob housing (which I didn't), I still can't figure out how to pull a bulb out unless I used a needlenose pliers (which will likely break the bulb).
Passat (B5) :: 2002 1.8T - Ticking Noise After Replacing Timing Belt
I had the Timing belt, roller, tensioner, belts, etc replaced and I am getting this funny ticking noise after the engine tuns on. It seems to go away after the engine warms up but not all the time. I have the AWM engine and bought the kit from ECS tuning. My mechanic (who is excellent and beyond honest) thinks that I have sludge in the engine. The engine was super quiet before the whole kit was replaced so I doubt that all of a sudden the sludge, if present, would cause this. I have been meticulous with oil changes and always used the appropriate weight and type. Castol Syntec 502. My mechanic told me that the belts and everything looked in great shape at 89000 miles. I wonder if I should have bought OEM parts. Otherwise the car runs perfectly.
