2004 Volkswagen Passat - Page 2 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
My 2004ntrendline passat tdi is very hard started
You need the codes pulled form the vehicles ECU with a scanner. The TDI engine does not do this when running correctly.
There are a number of reasons I can think of why this might happen, some being, Glow Plug/s failure, injection pump problem, such as temperature sensor failed, fuel system air leaks and alternator charging problems..
The alternator has a one way drive pulley that fails often causing unstable idle and belt noise..
Low power indicates the engine is in limp mode needing attention.
Find a garage with a scanner for this VW and allow them to check the vehicle.
Hi. I have a 2004 vw passat 4motion automatic sedan. last night my epc light came on........i experienced a down shift in power but was still able to drive. This morning i was able to start no problem
I would stop using the car
With VW/Audi there may be shops that work
on them, but you need scan tools specific to
that make
Non of my domestic or asian venders even offer that
So your best bet is a VW Dealer, so they can scan the vehicle
for the problem
When the powertrain features effect the transmission, you can
ruin a trans in ten miles of driving So Don't Use It like that
You can Google EPC which I did, but I can not spend a long
time to learn Euro Technology & the fix, when I don't see those
vehicles
We have a friend that has a VW & last Nov 2013 the car spent
5 weeks at a dealer, they had to contact Germany, as they had no
idea how to program an ABS Module,all because a switch that was on the outside for a decade & replaced by the vehicle owners,
was no inside & your done
In the British Isles & other parts of Europe, they take that in stride
& don't get up set or have the issues we have in North America
Inertia switch on 04 VW Passat
All these switches I have found are on the passenger side. Either in the trunk or behind the kick panel on the passenger side. Rarely do these go bad.. And they only need reset if you have a front end accident. If you are not getting fuel check the fuses and or the fuel pressure.
The headlight lens appears foggy
This is called oxidation, it is common place on plastic headlights. There is a kit you can buy at an auto parts store to repair this. The kit costs less than $20 and you will need a handheld drill.
