Passat (B5) :: 1999 - How To Replace (low Beam) Headlight Bulb
Where can I buy the bulb and what is the model number/size of the bulb? My headlines aren't customized or fancy. It's regular. I need to replace the right/passenger side. And how do you replace it? I'd like to save money. I read somewhere that micro clamps are necessary (for 2003 model at least) because it's hard to get in or out? If there's a DIY tutorial with pictures, that'd be great... I drive a 99 1.8 Passat...

Passat (B5) :: Way To Replace Oil Pan?
So... I found a pot-hole the other day and I'll be replacing the oil pan tomorrow. It's on a '00 Passat V6 FWD, any tips/tricks or things I should look out for? Do I have to drop the sub-frame, lift the engine, etc... what's the easiest way to go about this? I'll post pictures of the pan tomorrow, but here's a teaser:
Couldn't get underneath to see it yet, but I'm pretty damn sure there's a big hole. And hoping that's all it damaged.
Passat (B5) :: Way To Replace Control Arm?
I'm trying to replace the upper control arms on my wifes '00 Passat. I'm having trouble getting the bolt that holds both the upper ball joints to the upright (stearing knuckle, what ever you want to call it) out. I've tried the typical PB blaster, and heat approach. What I can't tell is if that bolt is treaded into part of the upright or not? Is this something I should just be able to punch out with a hammer?

Can I replace the battery in my 06 Passat myself? I've been told that I must take it in to the dealer to have it done, so they can reprogram the car. Doesn't sound right to me.

Okay so yesterday I had to replace my battery because it died just when I was trying to leave for work. Got back on the road it everything was fine. Coming home last night I got a CEL, I figured it was my normal p2177 because of my Forge WINTake that I can't seem to find a fix for. I went to clear the code because I have a fulling loaded APR Stage 1 ECU. Now it won't clear. So this morning I attempted to change programs and it won't change. Should I just go have it reflashed?

Need to replace the clutch on my wife's 2001 AWM. Its for her, no mod's, driven daily to work etc. I just want a stock style replacement that will last as long as the original (165k). Should I go with the stock replacement from Sachs or go with one of the Valeo style dual mass conversions? Does my car even have a dual mass? Can the OEM flywheels be resurfaced/turned?

Passat (B6) :: Replace Low Beam Wiring Harness
The driver's side low beam lamp on my 2006 3.6L stopped working. I bought an H7 from the dealer, but it did not light up. How hard is it to change the wiring harness, and how much should I expect it to cost for the dealer to replace? A local garage said it'd cost $115 to just run a diagnosis on the wiring.

The windshield wipers aren't working properly. I can hear the motor trying to work, and either blade will try to work but get stuck against each other. I checked the fuses and nothing is burned out. I'm not sure if it is related to the problem but yesterday my husband was washing the car and I noticed that he had pulled the wiper blades away from the windshield so they were sticking up in the air. We filled the wiper fluid. I'm wondering if something got broken when he opened the hood without putting the blades down? They seem out of sync. He also did an oil change. Could he have done something to cause this problem while doing the oil change?
I want to open up and take a look at the motor functions, but I'm not sure where it's located and how to get to it.
