Re: Just bought a second Passat and need key help

Thank you,

The spare key is new, Its been cut and I have synced it with the remote to unlock the doors.

So all I need now is the software and a cable and it can be matched to the immobiliser?

Thanks

Re: Just bought a second Passat and need key help

The newer one has brushed chrome inserts on the interior and the 03 has wooden ones both are Petrol V6 4 Motions and pretty nice places to be ins...

Re: Just bought a second Passat and need key help

Update - Managed to program the key fob to unlock and lock the doors, all I need now is to get it working with the immobiliser. Is this possible?

TIA

Am I right in thinking the 2004 is a B5.5 and the 2003 is a B5 there are very few subtle differences the main one being that the older one has no indicator repeaters on the wing mirrors. Anyway the &qu...

Possible to get a code from internet?

Hi,

My B5.5 came with a really crappy aftermarket stereo.

I bought an original VW head unit and dash 6 cd changer from an online breaker but it has no code.

Is it possible to find one online?

I´ve done this for Ford´s before.

TIA

Re: Aircon Compressor

carry out the climatronic diagnostic check see what faults are stored remove the port caps (if fitted) and insert a object (lollypop stick works great) keeping your face ect well out of the firing line and press on the valve, if the system has system pressure that's a starting point, does the outsi...

Misfire on V6 Petrol?

Every time I get below a quarter tank the car starts misfiring and running rough, the check engine light comes on and sometimes flashes when driving uphill. When I fill up and add injector cleaner the problem rights itself after about 70 miles and the light goes off. Starts again when fuel gets low....
