View 11 RepliesPassat - Volkswagen :: No Temp Reading On Dashboard And Vibrating Sound While Stopped After Axle Change
I drive a 2003 VW Passat StationWagon.
The mechanic changed the axle abt a month ago and I can now feel/hear a vibrating sound when I stop at a light. My husband says this is lesser 1) when he puts it in neutral 2) when it is warmer outside or after riding for a while. I agree with 1) but not 2). The mechanic says this will happen and we should wait a bit for this to lessen. Is this so?
In addition now, we notice that the temperature guage on the dashboard is not showing a reading. Not sure it is related to the axle change, since we did not pay attention to it that time. We got the mechanic to take a look and he says the engine is heating up fine (the heater comes on fine, though I think it is not as powerful as before), and he feels it may be bcos the thermostat is exposed outside. He asked us to wait for a couple of weeks to see if it corrects itself. I am concerned about this.
Passat (B6) :: Emits Black Smoke With Black Colored Water While Accelerating
I've been told by friends driving behind me that every time I accelerate I emit a plume of black smoke followed by a stream of black colored "water". I checked today by having the wife rev the engine to 4.5k...sure enough, black water shoots out of my exhaust, probably 3 oz. I also see a black puff of smoke which I assume is more normal than the water. Is this commonplace ?

I have a problem with my dash on a 13 ES. There was a shiny spot in the middle of the dash, so I took some Dawn dish washing liquid and a micro fiber towel and gently tried to remove the shiny spot. Well, after I wiped it with clean water, it dried as a whitish spot now, as if some of the dye came off! Any remedy for this mistake I did?
View 14 RepliesMercury - Mariner :: ABS Light Came On / Dashboard Lights Dimmed To Black And Lost Electricity
Have a 2005 Mercury Mariner Premier, 108k miles, 3.0L engine. Was driving last week and the ABS light came on. Then slowly the dashboard lights dimmed to black and lost electricity. All this within a couple miles of driving. Limped home and tested the battery - dead. Recharged and tested the next morning - still fully charged. Put another known good battery in and drove about an hour out and on the way home same thing happened.
I suspect the alternator, but on testing, the alternator is pushing 14.3 volts on a good battery. My fear now is the tear down necessary to change the alternator if it is not actually bad. Anything else I should look for / test before I start pulling the alternator out? Any other tests of the alternator that I can do while it's still installed?

View 1 RepliesVolvo :: 1992 - Bulb Out Dashboard Indicator Came On
My "bulb out" dashboard indicator came on and after checking all lights I could not find a burnt out bulb. I took the car to the local dealer and they told me the "bulb failure relay" was bad and needed replacing. I decided to try and replace it myself but so far I'm not doing to good.
I found this picture on another website and also read that the realy is permantly mounted to the relay board. Also, when I looked at pictures of the replacement relay they lok nothing like the original.
So now I'm wondering how the heck do you take the old relay out and get the new one in that doesn't at all look like the original?

View 1 RepliesTouareg :: 2004 - Resetting Dashboard Tire Inflation Indicator
From the day I got my '04 Treg, the tire inflation indicator on the dash has been a problem. For the first year or so, whenever it would indicate a tire inflation problem I would scroll the thumb wheel and get the MFI window with the diagram of the car and indicator as to which tire was low or the problem and would adjust till the indicator went off. Then I guess I got lazy and I noticed I could just go to "reset" in the same window and hold the thumb wheel down and the treg would then accept whatever the pressures happens to be as the new "standard". Not a good idea, I know.
Now here is my problem. Somehow, and much to my eternal consternation, I can no longer get the window in MFI that has tire inflation levels. That's right, it seems to be gone. I get "units" and "lights" and "comfort" and "speed warning" and "time" but no tire inflation category. What could have happened to it? I suppose that while get oil changes at the dealership they may, without my knowing, have reprogrammed my computer but I don't think the change coincided with any service. I've looked in the manual and it's useless on the subject. How I can re-attain the tire inflation window short of taking into the dealership for re-programming?

View 19 RepliesLexus ES 2007-12 :: 2010 ES350 - Slip Indicator Solidly Lit On Dashboard
2010 ES350... Was detailing interior of car, and didn't realize headlights were on. Eventually, battery drained and car would not start. Had OEM, original battery installed at the time. No dashboard lights lit prior to this.
From what I recall, shortly after replacing the battery and getting vehicle started, my slip indicator was solidly lit on dashboard. No other lights are illuminated, and vehicle appears to behave the same.
Fast forward to today, my OBD II scanner (Innova) does not pick up any current DTC's. There are readiness codes stored, but I understand that these are merely emmission related. However, there are historical codes stored which I am concerned may be possibly contributing to the dashboard light. The codes are P1604 and B2799. These appear to be related to the immobilizer system on my ES. I've tried to clear these codes, but they won't go away, so I suspect something is still tripping this. Keys are fine, just changed the FOB battery out a couple of times. I may try my second set of keys to see if it fixes this mess.
Since my OBD scanner doesn't support ABS, I'd like to see if AutoZone or something of the like can detect if there are any codes being thrown by the ABS system. Not sure if this is what is tripping the SLIP light.
Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Transmission - Gear Indicator Disappears From The Screen On Dashboard
My 2010 Santa Fe has some transmission issues.
Now and then I notice the vehicle is kind of slow and every now and then when going from P to R, or R to D, it enters with a bang and after that the Gear indication in the dashboard disappears. At that moment the car is completely sluggish, like if it is some kind of lock mode. I have to turn it off and on again and all is back to normal, however, after an episode that it enters with a bang the transmission doesn't react as well as normally, it takes a while for the car to behave normal again.
The fact that the gear indicator disappears from the screen on the dashboard suggests to me that this is a computer problem more than a mechanical issue.
