1995 Volkswagen Passat Questions & Answers
Key's snapped off inside ignition
Hi I would suggest you ring the Automobile association, and see whether one of their mobile mechanics can solve your problem. extracting a car key from the barrel may be more difficult than it appears. He, the mobile man may have done it before and have the right tools for the problem.
2 cyclinders are working out of 4
You mean without taking it to a shop for repairs, or at least some diagnosing? Check for spark on all four cylinders. If two do not have a spark, the problem is in your ignition system. Possibly the ignition coil for the two not working.
If all four spark plug wires do have spark, it could be a fueling problem to the cylinders not firing, or it could be an internal mechanical problem in the engine. Then you would need professional help.
Google or watch a vid on you-tube for how to check for spark, if you are not sure.
My 1996 VW passat over heats. how can i fix it?
The hard hose it a sign of max pressure in the cooling system. Check that the fins in the core of the radiator are solid and not blocked. have a pressure test done on the cooling system for engine faults. Have the radiator fushed out by a radiator shop. Check that the thermostst is opening. Start cold and hold you hand on the top hose It will be cold for maybe 10 minutes and if the thermostat is working it will get warm and then hot to the touch as the unit opens and allows hot water to flow to the top tank
Cant get power to fuel pump
try the prim wire next to the battery, looks like a single spade connector all by it self, most of the time its a red wire, put a 12 volt power to it if the pump kicks on there then check the F/P relay in the fuse block make sure its sending power, if you get nothing at those places replace the fuel pump and connection wires while you have it out.

Our sunroof is not working. Do we have a blown
peobably, check the fuses. you can test them with a multi meter for continuity or just pull them out and see it the metal tab has blown. If not a fuse check the connector at the switch.
Car will start with use
Try checking the banjo valve, its the line that brings fuel to the carburetor, you may want to look online for a diagram and list of how to properly remove the necessary parts.
Wont start. just turning over
If a jump start turned your engine over the battery needs replaced. Then have your alternator check to make sure it is charging the battery correctly.
I dont have the tool
Hi there, you should be able to get those tools at any car stereo store. Of you are unable to procure the correct tools you can use two, long thin flat head screwdrivers. The screwdrivers will be tricky but they will work. That'll you for the question, have a great day!
1995 VW PASSAT back hatchback will not stay open.
You'll need to buy replacement hatch struts and replace them. You can find these at auto parts stores, or by searching on the internet.
They come off by carefully twisting the body of the strut to the side until it comes loose (if they are the type that don't have a nut holding them in place). Do this on both ends, and I would suggest using a pair of pliers wrapped in an old T-shirt or duct tape that will keep from damaging them. Use the old ones for practice, and that way you won't damage the new ones when you put them in.
You can probably use a broomstick to hold the hatch open while you do this. Wrap the ends in duct tape to keep it in place (sounds crazy but it works LOL).
How do i drain fuel
