<title><![CDATA[1996-2005 Volkswagen Passat: Intermittent starting problems - Passat V6]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Occasionally the car won't start.  Not electrical - battery good starter good.  It usually (always) happens when trying to start the car within a few minutes or hour of having recently run - like won't start after stopping to fill gas or won't start after driving to eat lunch.  It will start if left alone for many hours.  It seems to start when the engine is cranked for 10 or more seconds and the accelerator is pushed and held to the floor.  When it starts there is a strong smell of fuel - indicating that the engine was flooded.  The &quot;accelerator to the floor&quot; solution does not always work and usually does not work the first time.</p>

<title><![CDATA[Volkswagen Golf V: VW Golf Strange Tail Light Issue?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Okay, so here is the deal. I have a 2008 mkV GTI that I have owned since it was new. I have had this problem going on for a while now, and I have not been able to solve it.</p>

<p>My left tail light function completely normal. The running lights, blinker, and brake lights all work as they should. However, my right tail light is where the issue starts. Each tail light has two hemispheres to it, both of which go on a dim setting for the running lights, and both which go on bright for brake lights, but only the outer hemisphere blinks for the blinker (two bulbs, same negative terminal). Upon first impression, it will seem that everything is working normal. If I hit the brakes, both the hemispheres light up properly. If I turn on the running lights, then both hemispheres also light up. However, if I leave the lights on for anywhere from 10-40 seconds, or I turn the right blinker on, after a few blinks and or that time, the outer light goes out. I have tried new bulbs in the tail light, switching bulbs, and cleaning connectors. I also do NOT get a bulb out warning when it goes out, however if I unplug the assembly, I do get the bulb out warning. I did think it was maybe a heat issue, so I got out a later thermometer and measured the bases of the inner bulb (which has no issues) and the outer bulb (the one with the problem), and before the outside one went off, the base on the inner bulb would be around 180 deg F, while the base of the other bulb would be around 110 deg F. I don't know if this temperature difference signifies anything, but it might be related.</p>

<p>Is there a board I can look for that might have missed that controls light function? I don't think it's a fuse, because then the light should be out the whole time. The light will come back on when I brake again if the running lights are OFF, but if they are on, I have to turn running lights off then on to get that bulb to briefly come back on. The front blinker also does not flash quicker when that rear bulb is out (so I think the circuit is still complete). I can get a voltmeter to check that the bulb is receiving the correct voltage, but I think it still is. One thing to note, when the bulb goes out, I can hear a high pitched humming noise coming from it.</p>

<p>I tried to do research on this topic, but there seems to be nobody else who has posted an issue like this. I have found other things where the turn signal or outer bulb will go off instantly when brakes are pressed or hazards are turned on, but mine seems to have a delay, like something is building up and tripping.</p>

<p>Any help with this problem would be appreciated. I want to avoid the dealer on this one before they try to replace 100 parts.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>My 2005 passat has issues  starting in  cold weather. Today it is -7. When this happened last year, I had to have it towed. I was told, sparkplugs, and other routine maintanance. I replaced the plugs, did the routine maintanance, and here I go again, not starting. I know it's cold out. The Toyota with 183000.0 miles on it starts no matter what the temp. Any suggestions? Does anyone know why the car won't start?</p>

<title><![CDATA[2006-2015 Volkswagen Passat: Key fob stuck in ignition]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Just replaced the battery in my key fob. I got into  my car with the normal key, put the fob in the ignition and now it won't come out. Evidently I need to reprogram, but how can I get the key fob out?</p>

<div class="clearer"></div><div class="headerContainer"><h3 id="Section_Update_10_20_Num_2017" class="header">Update (10/20/2017)</h3></div>

<p>I realized my car battery was the issue. It was flatlined.</p>

<p>Left headlight was staying on even with key out.</p>

<p>So that seems to be the main issue.</p>

<p>I was able to get the key fob out after jumping the car.</p>

<p>So just trying to find a solution now for the headlight issue.</p>

<p>May disconnect headlight for now  so it doesn't continue to drain battery.</p>
