Passat (B5) :: CEL Reset Not Working

So the CEL came on in my wife's b5 Passat after she topped off, which we now know not to do...and hasn't cleared on it's own after about 1000 miles of driving. So I performed the DIY reset found here: [URL] ....

to the detail, and kept the door open during ignition ON etc, and everything, even made sure to tighten the gas cap more than 3 clips as suggested, and it didn't reset. I did this multiple times and it is still on.

The radio presets are still there and weren't lost at anytime during any of the reset attempts and the car is currently on empty (re-fuel light is ON) and I didn't drive it after reset attempts.

Passat (B5) :: How To Reset The Throttle Sensor

so i went to a car show yesterday and left my hood open! i was walking around and when i came back to my car to leave i started it and i had cel, my asr light was on and my engine felt light it was misfiring on all 4 cyl. so im looking at everything under the hood and notice that some funny guy unplugged my throttle wire! ok no big deal! plugged it in, turned it back on and all i had was a cel! i cleared it and it was fine till i started driving home! i though it was a boost leak but i was only boosting at a peak of 9 psi! driving there it was a normal 11. i know its not a boost leak becuz i had one last week and did a BLT! could unhooking my throttle body and starting up be causing it not to go to WOT??? if so how can i reset the throttle sensor?

Passat (B5) :: Keeps Cranking With Click Noise But Won't Start - Clock Reset

I drove two days ago. Yesterday I didn't drive. I just walked out to start my car and it won't start. It keeps cranking (click noise). The lights are turned on, locks response to my remote, radio works, but I noticed the clock was set back to 12:00 and it's 4:00pm right now.

Two days ago, I noticed my car hesitate a little when I accelerated to 35-40.

I drive a 99 1.8 t Passat

Turns out i needed a battery replace. my battery was having 67 amps compared to 500 requirement.

Question: Does low battery life cause the car to hesitate (like as if the cylinder misfire) at 35-40 mph acceleration?

Passat (B5) :: Wipers Stuck In Upright Position - How To Reset In Their Original Resting Place

Ok I let My friends use my passat wagon to move afew things and when he brought it back my wipers where stuck in the upright position when the car is driving, on or off. When I hit the wiper switch they move slightly to the left before going back down and working as they are suppose to. But the second I turn them off they will go to the upright position and even if the car is turned off with them down, the second you start or turn the car on they will move to the upright position and stay that way. So it seems like this is their new resting place. My question is, how do I get them back to their original resting place down where they are suppose to be.
