Golf VI R :: Trim Pieces Inside Of The Front Doors Are Missing?
I was washing my car today and noticed that the trim pieces inside of the front doors are missing. The drivers door has a screw in it and the passenger door has a little plastic bumper and it just falls out if you touch it. I don't remember this piece ever being there before and there is no screw on this door right now. The pieces that I am talking about next extend along the door edge to finish it off. I remember these pieces because when I washed my car and wiped the door edges for the first time I recalled my MKV GTI not having this piece. My car was at a local shop for a couple of days and I think someone came in to visit and took these. The shop is very loosie goosie about letting their friends walk around the shop floor.
I was wondering if someone could shoot a pic of their door edges for me. I am going to order this part on Monday.
Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Locking Hub Pieces Missing
I went to replace my driver's hub bearing last night. Found pieces missing from the locking hub (manual). I ordered them last night it's the snap ring and washers but will not be here till next Monday. Can I run the new bearing with out hurting it. It has already ruined the seals on that side I just don't have the time to take it all the way down. So if I install the bearing and don't put all the guts in the locking hub (I know the locking hub won't work) Dont need 4x4 right now but need to be able to drive it some. Just don't want to mess up the 250 dollar bearing I just got.

The sun seems to reflect from a lot of interior pieces, mainly the ALU piece to the right of the 2 storage drawers, and also the shifter surround ring. It is not just a little reflection, it blinds me at times and I have to look to the left, put something on top to cover it or close my eyes.

The interior trim pieces that are located where the ceiling intersects with the door are falling out. I tried using Gorilla glue to hold them in place but the heat keeps melting it. If I order the new part from the dealer is the trim easy to install myself?
View 3 RepliesPassat (B7) :: Yellow Sludge On Dipstick
I went to check my oil this morning even thought its only been roughly 2000 miles since the last change/filter(Napa Gold and Mobil One 0w40). I noticed that the dipstick had just a tad of yellowish snot stuff on it. I know it mean water in the oil but I cleaned it off and recheck, put a hair more in and it was all clean no more snotty yellow gunk.
My question is because it is cold and my dad moves it almost every morning before work could it be condensation? I know with my 1998 Chevrolet Tahoe with roughly 153,000 miles used to get the same yellow snot stuff in the oil fill neck but never on the dipstick. The passats oil filler cap/neck were both free of any snotty stuff.
If its still like this tomorrow I'm taking it to the dealer. Also there's still coolant and I couldn't be sure if there was any less as if it was a leaky head gasket but the rest of the oil is clean and not milkshake like.

View 7 RepliesPassat (B5) :: 2004 B5.5 1.8T Moisture In Dipstick Tube?
I have the above passat with the AWM motor. There is signs of moisture in the dipstick tube, but not on the oil fill cap. Now today the plastic dipstick funnel snapped due to being frozen to the dipstick.
Now the dipstick had what looks like lithium grease on it. The car has been slowely loosing coolant. But exhaust is clear, no signs of steam or coolant burning through exhaust.
But if the lithium grease like substance on the dipstick was a oil/coolant mix WHY did it freeze . I use a 50/50 mix of pentofrost SF. According to their lable should be good down to below zero. It has not gotten that cold here yet, even at night.
Why or how I could be getting moisture into the motor? And why is it only visible on/in the dipstick funnel and nowhere else.
Passat (B5) :: Oil Dipstick Tube Broke In Half
I was checking the oil this morning before getting ready to drive (for an hour) to the in-laws for Christmas, and the Effing orange plastic dipstick tube broke about halfway down. Now I'm afraid to drive for an hour at highway speeds, for fear that a lot of oil might come out of that compromised Effing orange plastic dipstick tube part -- would you all agree that I should not drive the car? Figures this would happen on Christmas Eve when nothing is open.

Car is burning through a higher than usual amount of oil? I just went to the dealer to do an oil change because the oil was so low I could barely get a reading on the dipstick, no leaks were found, and the car does not smoke.

Passat (B5) :: 1999 - Dipstick Funnel Broken
I bought a 1999 Passat 1.8T a few days ago. I noticed before I bought it that the dipstick funnel was broke but I knew it was only a $2 part. Today I bought the part at a local dealer and went home to install it. Problem is the old one is actually broke in half. One half remains on the dipstick the other half on the tube. I can't for the life of me get that thing off the tube. I have a inspection scheduled at the dealer tomorrow so if I can't get it off I will probably just have them do it.

I have a broken dipstick sleeve for my 2003 Passat 1.8-liter.
I bought a new sleeve from the dealership, but not sure how to uninstall the old one and put in the new one.The oil sleeve is in a tight spot. I can't understand how to remove it without taking apart other engine parts.

We just past 1000 miles on our new 08 2.0T wagon and there is '0' oil consumption. The dipstick reads completely full. And...it is noticeably cleaner than our 06 2.0T after 1000 miles (after oil changes).

The little metal hardware pieces for my brakes since I've had the car they have broken three times within a year recently. A mechanic who was the last to replace them said the brake pads were fine and wasn't sure why they keep breaking. Going to add a picture of the piece I'm talking about.
When driving my Prius when below 40 mph the two front tire area makes an awful clanking sound because of the hardware breaking.

I noticed that I have some light scratches on the black plastic trim on outside of the doors (more than likely done by the place that tinted my windows, ). How to buff these out. They are more like micro-scratches and swirl marks more than anything else. I tried car paint polish in a small corner and it had no effect.
View 6 RepliesVolkswagen - Beetle :: 2000 - A/C Blows Pieces Of Foam And Temperature Changes
Air conditioning is serious as a heat stroke, so when my 2000 Beetle started blowing brittle pieces of foam from the A/C vents, moaning at stop lights, and refusing to cool, action was required. That was last summer, and I had the A/C "fixed" – new compressor (a dryer thingy had gone bad), a fresh charge of freon, and gloriously arctic air. There was still foam, but who cares as long as it’s cold? (I know the foam is disintegrating due to age, not rodents.) The shop told me they could fix the foam problem but that it would mean taking off the dash, could cost $900 in labor, and that not fixing it meant nothing worse than flying foam.
Now in the second summer, the air still blows cold but only sometimes, and it spits more foam than ever. When the air isn’t cold, if I twiddle all the knobs, especially the one that directs air from my face to my feet to the defrost and back, eventually the vents belch out more foam and give me cold air. This mainly works at 70+ mph. A recent development is that air blows on my toes as well as my face when I have the dial set for face-air-only. My tootsies love it, but I’m concerned that when all the foam breaks free I’ll have air coming from all vents at once, maybe hot, maybe cold.
So I have two questions:
(1) When all the foam has flown out the windows, will I have reliable temperature control?
(2) If the answer to 1 is no, would it be cheaper to sell my dear Sunshine to CarMax for a lesser price and let them dismantle the dash or pay the shop and keep driving her a while?
Passat (B5) :: V6 - Hard Starting / Missing
Recently my B5.5 V6 has been acting funny when I start it after it has sat for a while (several hours). It doesn't want to start, and when it does, it seems to be missing. Clears out pretty quickly, but it's got me scratching my head. Only does this when it's been sitting for a while (>5-6 hours or so). I'm thinking fuel pressure accumulator.
