i have a strange issue where by at some point during each car journey my seat belt chime will bong, and from that point forward onwards for the rest of the journey it will chime every time i depress the clutch, if i am stationary then only the light will appear on the dash...needless to say this is frustrating and somewhat distracting when driving.... my local VW are pathetic, despite the fact they have all the tools in the world. twice i have taken it in and twice they 'could not replicate the fault' despite twice driving away and hearing the chimes almost instantly.

can someone please help....

thanks in Advance

My woman has the 06 passat 2.0T. She is noticing it shits hard sometimes from first to second. It just turned 40k. I have been told from the VW dealership that the tranny is "un-serviceable". I am a GM person and do all my own work. I dont know much about these cars, so I am wondering if someone can help me out?:confused: ]]> Passat Esky02 http://www.vwforum.com/forums/f55/06-passat-2-0t-tranny-trouble-39129/ 2007 3.6 Passat http://www.vwforum.com/forums/f55/2007-3-6-passat-39118/ Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:27:44 GMT does anyone make performance parts for the 3.6 passat.

Just got a 99 passat a couple of weeks ago. 1.8t. Had a baby so I had to swap out the mustang for something more roomy. Anyway. Curious to know what this engine can do and handle. Not interested in breaking any speed barriers, just a few extra RELIABLE horses wouldn't hurt. I know that first steps are always exhaust and intake with any car and I have already looked into a few options. I have seen boost controllers but I am weary about turning up the boost after seeing how small the turbo is. So I was wondering if anyone can tell me how much boost is produced at factory settings and how much is safe to increase and still maintain reliability. Also how much hp is common for these engines to handle. I think I saw that stock is about 150. Thanks for the help guys. ]]> Passat lhorn http://www.vwforum.com/forums/f55/performance-questions-39103/ 2000 Passat GLX, water leak submerged the CCM http://www.vwforum.com/forums/f55/2000-passat-glx-water-leak-submerged-ccm-39089/ Sat, 14 Nov 2009 17:01:18 GMT So my CCM got completely submerged thanks to either a sunroof or weather stripping leak (yet to track that down, just finished mopping up the mess and getting the CCM extracted).

Each time has been on a cold engine after sitting parked for 6 or so hours. The starter engages, engine turns and turns but does not fire. After twenty minutes of "coaxing" and a lot of starter turn it will finally cough and fire up - then runs fine. Any clues or ideas ??

I have stains that will not come out of the Glass and the Clear Coat (dealer Twice).
I have a sand grinding noise in my steering coloum while parking which the whole thing was already replaced with only 2,500 miles on the car.
I have a speedo issue, it's off by 4 MPH.
