Passat (B5) :: Battery Light Came On
so my battery light came on yesterday, so i tested the battery at work, perfect, also checked the charging system, great. then on my way home from work, my cluster and radio/climate/window switches all out, but they react to the brake switch, on when pressed, off when released(sometimes) the blower motor also loses speed at idle compared to normal speed when rpms are up..

View 10 RepliesPassat (B5) :: Battery Is Drawing About 280 MA With Everything Off?
Problem: battery is drawing about 280mA with everything off, doors and hood closed, no lights on. I believe draw should be about 40mA under this condition. Indeed, after several days battery is low and car won't start.
I pulled each fuse (1 at a time), but 280mA draw remained. I repeated 2 more times to make sure, same. I tried each relay as well, same. In monitoring the problem, the system will occasionally drop to around 40mA, but it's random and rare and seemingly not reproducible. '01 Passat wagon GLS '00 Audi TT '86 Westy
Passat (B5) :: 2003 1.8T - Battery Drain At Off
I have a 2003 Passat 1.8T. Over 8 Hrs the battery goes from 12 to 10V and the start is real sluggish. I'm going to test the load on the battery when it is just sitting there to see if there is a short somewhere. I'm wondering what the load should be from the clock and radio which draw power even when off.
It is 4+ years old so it might be just time for a new battery..... Alternator is working....14V on the battery when the engine is running...... so there is charge form the alternator.....

View 4 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Battery Drain After RNS-510 Install
Installed an RNS-510 in my 2006 Passat, and this morning, I could tell my battery was nearly completely drained. Also, I know the unit is receiving constant power because it never "boots up" even after leaving the car turned off for a while. Usually, it should completely shut off after the car is off for ~30 minutes.
I guess I need to update my CAN module. What is an updated CAN that will work, and where this is located on my 2006 Passat?
Passat (B6) :: Change Key Battery Message Comes Up
I took to the car to the local Muppet Show and they put a new battery in my FOB and the message still comes up. My car does have KESSY so I'm not sure if it's this that is going haywire. The car was serviced in April and had a software upgrade - maybe it has a bug! Also, a few seconds after setting off I now get the BING! sound but no messages..

I'd like to know how to replace the battery in the key fob for my 2002 Passat Wagon. I looked in the manual but I could not find it and it says that the dealer should do it. I am aware that sometimes the fob may need to be re-programmed but my wife's key works perfectly so I will assume that the battery has gone out. The key works just fine when used manually.Also, what kind of battery does it take??

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?

Passat (B5) :: Intermittent Flickering Of Battery Light?
So, I have have an intermittent flickering of the battery light. The weird part is that it ONLY happens between 80 and 85 mph. Any faster or slower and it doesn't happen. It's not a steady flickering, but a random intermittent flicker. What the issue may be? The car has a new (within 2000 miles) battery and alternator. 1.8t with manual transmission.
View 3 RepliesPassat (B5) :: 1999 1.8T - No Power After Dead Battery
Three weeks ago I left my lights on while at work. After I jumped it, everything was running terribly. I had absolutely no power and it felt like the engine was going to fall out at any time. I got it home and had a roommate look at it. After not seeing anything wrong, I tried starting it again and everything ran perfectly fine. I'm assuming it was something with the computer and it just needed reprogrammed.
So last week a friend of mine drove the car and also left the lights on. When we went to jump it, it would start for 2-3 seconds then stall, even with a little gas. After a few attempts, it stopped starting. Now, it'll turn but nothing else. We pulled the battery and put it on a charger. The battery held 12.6V and is only 6 months old. Put it back in and got the same result.
The fuel pump is turning on and I've checked every fuse. It is around 20 degrees out but I had a full tank so I don't believe it to be a frozen fuel line. It seems like an electrical problem since there were no mechanical problems before the dead battery. The only complaint I had was a lack of power sometimes, but I don't think that would have a great deal with this.
Passat (B5) :: 1999 - Check Battery Little Icon
I have a 1999 Passat and am, for the first time, seeing a check battery light; the word "check" w/a little battery icon. I've had the battery replaced within the past year. What this could be? I'm not sure that I can get the car to the shop tomorrow. I'd hate to be stranded with a drained battery...

I had to replace the battery on my 2003 Passat (without temporary power thru the lighter) and shortly afterward the check engine light came on. I got a scan tool that indicated three fault codes shown below. Are these likely the result of the battery change and I can reset the faults or should I take the car into a shop to have them checked out.
