View 4 RepliesLexus GX 2004-09 :: How To Get The Rear Airbags Out
I don't know how to get the rear air bags out? I pulled the fuse, removed the shock. Lowered the axle. It seemed to be binding on the air hose. But it was dark and hard to see. Raised it back up and put the wheels back on. I am hoping they deflate overnight.
What is the process for getting them out?
Do I need to worry about the brake lines being stretched when I drop the axle enough to put the new springs in?
Do I need to remove or loosen anything else? Sway Bar?
Glad I quit, But without a book I am worried. I thought it was simple. The fronts only took a couple hours. Now I am stuck on the simple.

One of the rear doors on my Passat is jammed shut. If you lift the locking button it pulls itself back down and if you try to open the door from either inside or outside nothing happens, except lift the locking button up and down. I've taken the inside panel off as much as I can but don't know what to do now to open the door.

Passat (B6) :: Rear Door Lock Not Working
A few weeks back, I removed a small rubber grommet from the rear door which had embossed image of a lock, to reveal a yellow round slotted switch. This is not the child lock switch on the inside of the rear door, but is on the side of the rear door. I then noticed that sometimes my rear door was able to open after locking with the FOB, hence setting off the alarm. If I turned the yellow switch to be horizontal, the door would lock with FOB.
Over time, the yellow switch would go vertical and not work with the FOB again, until I manually turned the yellow switch to horizontal. I replaced the rubber grommet, which decreased the frequency of this happening, BUT, it still happens. Obviously I have messed with something that was working just fine, and now is not. What this yellow switch is for, and is there a way to permanently resolve my problem?

My passenger side rear door handle does not work. My mechanic fixed it once, said the cable had jumped off the pulley. I figured it can't be that difficult to fix if I can get the door panel off.
Passat (B5) :: 1999 - Power Window Goes Up But Not Down In Right Rear Door
My 1999 Passat has the common "power window goes up, but won't go down" problem in the right rear door. I followed the advice in this forum and re-inserted the plastic pin. A few weeks later it popped out. I re-inserted it again this time with some glue. It held for a few months before popping out again. I bought a new pin from the dealer but the new pin fits so tight it is impossible to insert it into the hole at the base of the window. Maybe I don't have enough experience jamming things into tight holes, but I suspect there is a special trick needed to insert the pin. I can see why the old pin kept popping out since it wasn't tight enough to keep it secure. How to Insert brand new Plastic Pin in Regulator?

So I was having a problem with my right rear door on my '99 Passat. Even when unlocked, I could not open it from the outside, just the inside. So today my dad decides to take a look at it and opens it (from the inside) and puts the child safety lock on... and closes the door. So now I can't get in through that door from either way.

View 5 RepliesPassat (B7) :: 2013 - Rear Passenger Door Not Locking
My 2013 Passat has some issues with the door locks. I'm at 92k kms now and no longer under full warranty. In June 2015, I had the locks fixed with the local VW dealer, while under warranty - 2 doors were failing to lock/unlock using the remote and would regularly attempt to lock while driving (could hear the motors in each door and lock light wouldn't light up as usual).
I no longer drive the vehicle regularly, it's essentially my gf's car now. She mentioned a couple weeks ago that the rear passenger side door wasn't locking, though the lock alarm still beeps. No motor sound this time. And again, while driving it constantly tries to lock the doors around 10-20kph (no light on locks shows up confirming locked).
So essentially it's been just over a year since the issue was fixed. According to the dealer it's an electronic issue and costs that much because the locking component in each door has to be replaced. Doesn't make sense to me if its electronic...
I haven't spoken to VW myself yet but it all sounds off to me. I'm a diesel mechanic and don't know a whole lot about the electrical side but why would I have the same issue in back to back years on something like door locks?
Also sounds like the heated mirrors might not be working. Is it a failed actuator on the driver side maybe?
Golf/GTI VI :: Can Disable Auto Door Lock When Car Exceeds 10 Mph?
The doors & trunk will auto lock @10mph and will not auto unlock when car is stopped. This is very inconvenient. When I buy groceries then try to open the trunk when I get home, I always have to unlock the trunk before I can open it.
My dealer told me they cannot reprogram it. The older model has an option on the MFC but not ours.
Golf/GTI VI :: 2011 - Disable Beep When Door Locked
I have recently picked up a 2011 Gti and I have 2 questions.
1. Is there anyway to disable that annoying honk when you lock the doors w/o a vag-com? I've searched but didn't find anything.
2. Need to know if the Golf R has the same suspension as this car? Obviously spring rates and specs might be different but I may get airbags for my current car and would like to take off the bags and put them on the R if I pick one up.
Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Disable Door Chime?
How do I disable the chime (2008 F150) that sounds when the key is in the ignition and the door is open? I'd like to keep the chime that sounds when the lights are left on and the door is open. Is it possible to accomplish both objectives?
And, on the off chance that someone from Ford ever looks at these forums: It would sure be nice if you designed the audible warnings with either a timer in the circuit (so it would sound for a few seconds and then stop); or, provide a cancel button for the chime (as is common in commercial and military aircraft).
