2003 1.8 passat radio not working

I have a 2003 VW passat 1.8 turbo. The radio will power on and the lights come on, but I get no display aside from the blue backlight. No black text or anything. There is only a clicking/beating sound coming from the speakers and I don't know what is wrong with it. Could it be a fuse, wire, or something else? Please help!

Good day;
In your trunk area there should be a piece of carpet by your tail light just move that to the side and then you can access your bulb. Any problems please let me know.

Cheers

We had the same problem. It was an expensive fix--there apparently was a problem with the onboard computer that would periodically lock out the ignition circuit. Felt just like a bad starter solenoid--but the part cost $800, plus labor, to replace. Ouch.

yes, it's called the load reduction relay and it is in the 13 fold relay panel under driver side dash.

SOURCE: blue smoke coming from exhaust.Think turbo is bad

The bearings and seals in the turbo are going bad, so oil is getting burned with the fuel.

I have a 98 passat and the radio says save how do i get it working thanks
IMPORTANT NOTE:
You must have the security anti-theft code for your VW radio from the car manufacturer, or from a VW dealer!

You can find the radio code at: http://www.radio-code.co.uk/

The sequence of programming for 1998 VW Passat radio is:
1. Push simultaneous "SCAN" and "RDS" keys until on the screen will appear "1000" displayed.
2. Release keys. No more push on "SCAN" and "RDS" keys because otherwise number "1000" will be considered as first safe code attempt.
For example: we have the security code "5079". Then:
3. By the no.# 1 key you will set up the first safe code digit. Push 5 times on the no.# 1 button. The "5" number will be setted.
4. By the no.# 2 key you will set up the second safe code digit. Push 10 times on the no.# 2 button. The "0" number will be setted.
5. By the no.# 3 key you will set up the third safe code digit. Push 7 times on the no.# 3 button. The "7" number will be setted.
6. By the no.# 4 key you will set up the four-th safe code digit. Push 9 times on the no.# 4 button. The "9" number will be setted.
7. Then push again simultaneous "SCAN" and "RDS" keys for confirm this safe code. On the screen will be displayed "SAFE" notice. Release keys! For few seconds a radio frequence will be displayed.
The radio is now ready for use!

Vw passat 2004, 1.8T, Radio has no power, I have checked the fuse per the fuse box diagram (20 amp) seems to be ok, but have changed with a new 20 amp fuse, still no power. Is there a secondary fuse in...
first check the aux fuse, then check to see if the clock comes on the radio, if it don't check the radio it should have fuses, check them. check the connector to the radio for power, with the key in the off position you should have 1 12vlt power with the key on you should have 2 12vlt power... if the fuses are good on the radio and you don't have any power to the connector, it could be a relay or ignition switch

Replacement turbo chargers
My best advice to you would be to check www.passatworld.com Look into the forums and use the search function. There is an unbelievable amount of information with just a little bit of searching. And there may be some turbos for sale on there as well. If you can't find anything in your price range, check out a chip... slightly cheaper and just as much power gain as you would from a larger turbo. You will have to chip it if you drop in a larger turbo anyhow. Hope this helps!
