Passat (B5) :: Grinding Sound Coming From Rear Of Car At Low Speed On Turns

I'm experiencing a grinding sound that seems to be coming from the rear of the car. I can't tell if it's the tires wearing or it's something else, it's especially prevalent at certain speeds and on a curve..........

I can hear it when going slow and proportionality the grinding is slow... as speed up it's faster and at certain speeds it's quite loud...........it there something besides the rear tires that could be causing that, rear axle? something needs to be lubed?

At first i was sure it was the tires which are turanaza's and they have gotten louder (I think) as the mile have accumulated, but now I'm not sure since i can hear it at low speeds on turns.

Lexus LS 2007+ :: 2008 LS600hl - Light Vibration Coming From The Back At U-turns

In the process of purchasing 2008 600hl. Wondering if any of the 600 owners can tell me if you experience a light vibration in U-turns, mainly coming from the back? I just called the servicing dealer and the SA told me that he felt the same thing when he moved a 600 for a customer making sharp turns, explaining that this is normal from the electric motors. Is this true???

Passat (B5) :: Check Engine Light Turns On Then Off Every 3 - 4 Days

I have a 2005 passat 1.8T non 4-motion and the check engine light turns on with no noticeable performance loss or idle fluctuation then will turn off in 3-4 days only to turn back on in another 3-4 days. My guess is something with the fuel, or moisture in the tank or even a stupid gas cap problem but im just shooting my question out there hoping another passat driver has experienced this same ridiculous problem.

Passat (B6) :: 2006 - At Start Up Turns Over / RPM Settle Out / Battery Light Comes On?

2.0t 2006 auto Passat: Push key in, car turns over, rpms settle out, then drop out and battery light comes on. When this happens it will do it several times then fire up normal. I tryed starting it with the gas mashed and it fired up revs went up then dropped out and died. This has only started happening today. Also about a year ago had a problem with battery draining after car sits over night or for long periods of time. After VW replaced a few relays and assorted parts they changed out a window motor and that seems to have fixed that issue. No problems till now.

Passat (B7) :: Custom Light Switch For Headlights That Turns Off All Lights Including DRL

I saw somewhere that Passat owners could get a special light switch for the headlights that had more options. I hate that when I am just sitting in my car waiting for a friend, that the DRL's are always running. In bad neighborhoods, I don't want to attract attention to myself or my car. I wish the off position would actually turn them off.

Passat (B6) :: Won't Start After Getting Gas / Check Gas Cap Light Keeps Coming On

This started about 2 weeks ago. Every time I get gas, I fasten the gas cap tightly, and then go to start my car and it won't start. It won't turn.

I'll try once or twice, and then sit for a few minutes. Then I try again, and it'll turn and catch, but then sputter for a minute and I have to keep pressing the gas pedal..after a minute of this, it'll run OK.

Not sure if its related, but the check gas cap light keeps coming on.

Passat (B5) :: 2000 V6 - ABS / Brake Light In The Dash Is Coming On

I have a 2000 Passat w V6 thats in the shop at the dealers. The ABS/Brake light in the dash is coming on. The dealer says I need a new sensor in the ABS module. This sensor cost $700 plus about $400 in labor. Seems very pricey to me. My question is, could I buy a used ABS module and replace the bad one with the bad sensor myself? Where could I get a used or new ABS module at a good price? Is it hard to change out?

Passat (B5) :: Possible To Stop The Check Engine Light From Coming On?

I am getting a check engine light about every 4 days. It is stupid suff like secondary air, or catalytic below efficency... Is there any way to prevent the light from coming on over these faults? I think it would cost me some serious money to fix everything it needs to keep the light from coming on. As you all know, once you fix one thing something else breaks.

Passat (B5) :: ABS / Brake Light Coming On At Random And Beep?

When I'm driving the ABS/Brake lights come on at random and beep at me in my 1998 passat... I'm not sure why, and there should be no reason.. my brakes work fine and haven't been a problem... I never slam on my brakes either...the only thing wrong is that I have a brake light out but that shouldn't be it.... Is there something obvious that I'm missing??

Passat (B5) :: 2003 - Check Engine Light Coming On

I have about 75K on my 03 1.8t on started having the check engine light coming on in the last few months. The dealers diagnosis was that I wasn't tightening the gas cap enough but I don't believe that because I do at least 3-5 clicks when I close it. I'm a bit baffled. After the last time I filled up at the gas station, I noticed the cap was loose so I've ordered another cap thinking the last one has lost its ability to seal properly...
