Touareg :: Xenon Headlights - Bulbs Changed And Won't Turn On

I just bought new DS1 8k bulbs to replace my aging 6k bulbs. It was a sinch to install and seemed too good to be true. Well i turn my car on and the check bulbs light came on and low and behold the lights do not turn on. The dealership said it would not matter whether I had 6k before and bought 8k but it seems like this might be the issue.

Golf/GTI VI :: Bi-Xenon Lights Start Up Sequence Changed All Of A Sudden

So those of you with bi-xenons know what i mean, when you start up your car it does that leveling sequence.

My car: 10 GOLF TDI 6MT

I put key in, turn it half way to everything comes on, clutch in cause its always parked in gear w/ hand brake on
so clutch in, I turn the key car starts up, as soon as i drop the hand brake lights come on, and they used to do:

LIGHT UP
Level Down
then would go out in opposite directions
then Level back UP to normal position.

Well today i noticed and just confirmed again when moving car after a wash, that my lights now:

Light UP,
Level Down
Level back UP,
it now skips above middle step

Why's that?

Passat (B5) :: 2003 - White Smoke On Acceleration After Replacement Of Broken Oil Pan?

I recently broke the oil pan, my husband replaced it after about a month of waiting for new one to come. (Im afraid I didnt turn the car off in time and did something to the engine.) All was good after fixing it until after about a week of driving it i noticed some white smoke coming from tailpipe as i was accelerating to get on the highway. Drove it home and no smoke, drove it some more and NO smoke as getting on the highway! But then again a few days later it did it again!!! The car runs good no loss of fluids, no milky oil(not the head gasket) I would never know anything was wrong if I didnt have to get on the highway to go to town and see the smoke. I have been racking my brain on this computer trying to figure out what could be wrong? Someone followed me and said they smelled raw fuel from the exhaust smoke. But i dont know if its its an injector, I think its from breaking the oil pan??? But i dont know ???? Its a 2003 vw passat 1.8t 67,500 miles just bought the car so dont know much about the history. Seemed to be taken well care of so I dont know.

Passat (B5) :: 2003 - While Opening Oil Filter Colored Smoke - Normal?

Test drove an '03 Passat GL today for about 20-30 minutes. Seemed to drive well. Stomped the accelerator and brake a couple times, etc, etc. After a more sedate trip back I looked it over, checking fluid conditions, leaks and such. Looks like all fluids have been recently changed . I did notice when pulling the oil dip stick and opening the oil filler a bit of light colored smoke or steam

Passat (B5) :: Coolant Reservoir Color Is Pink / Orange

I'm kind of worried about the coolant in my 03 2.8 passat. it is a pinkish/orangish color, but im worried they topped it off with dexcool at the dealer. is it okay to mix g12 and dexcool or am i looking at a gelled up mess?

With that note, can you run g12+? or do you recommend to stick with the oem g12?

Passat (B5) :: Xenon Headlight Out Intermittently?

Ok, so I pull into the garage tonite and it looks like the headlight is out (Passenger Xenon), I check. Yup. So, I turn the lights off and on and she comes back. Now, I have heard there is problems with the ignitor/etc with these lights. I am at 34,000 miles on the car. Is this covered under warranty or should I just make do with it. I suspect this has happened before as I had my coworker tell me my light was out before.

Passat (B6) :: Xenon Headlamps Are Pointing Way Too Low

I recently lowered one of my client's 2008 passat and since then the xeon headlamps are pointing way too low. I did the manual adjustment with the allen key screws but I'm at the maximum on the adjustment so I'm sure there is a way to compensate with recoding the motor. I have VagCom but I can't seem to do a recode. What is the procedure?

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 an 07 with the AFS lighting. bulb error on dash- as I understand it, this has to do with a faulty shield for the high beam on the passenger side. Can this be repaired? Or should I just shell out the 300 for a used one on ebay.

Passat (B6) :: Waffling Noise After Oil Changed

I got my oil changed and tires rotated at the dealer recently. I am now getting a waffling noise, similar to when you have the sunroof open. I don't get any vibration in the steering wheel. I have 24000 miles and the car is 16 months old. I have had the tires rotated every 5000 miles. This is the first time this has happened. I felt around the tires and feel no bumps or damage.
