2000VW Passat with leak on floor behind driver seat, now no heat or heated drivers seat!

Go to bing or google images and see if there's a picture of the fuse boxes.

Raise car and block securely. Underneath on floor pans directly below seats you will see oval or round rubber grommets.(plugs) Use flat screw driver to pry out. You will see a nut under each. Remove nuts and remove seat. Installation of aftermarket seats may require you to drill new holes and or addition of shims to square up the base of the new seat. Flat washers work well.

cud be the switch or somethin lodged between the motor-try vacuuming-dont keep tryin cause motor will draw more amps

Dies car have a sunroof? If so, sunroof drain is clogged and backing up into car.

It could be caused by blocked sunroof drains. Thats where I'd look first.
Good luck!

not sure on your vehicle but try looking under the hood

The alarm is located behind the back seat on the Drivers side. Up and towards the outside of the car.
Pull the back seat down. Look up where I stated.
You may need to remove or pull back the trim.
You should be able to see it mounted there.


Hope this helps.

is the floor board on passenger side wet???If yes it's the heater core, which should be accessible by removing the glove box. Did u check the oil, to see if it 's milky??? some times on the vw of any kind, they spring a slow leak on the head gasket which could cause the abnormal starting in the morning. Which then, as the engine warms up causes the gasket to swell up and seal itself untill the engine cools completely off again. Eventually the gasket will completely fail and u'll have to bring it to a shop or get a repair manual to replace the head gasket.

Seeing you have a GLS edition... most of them have at least a power DRIVERS seat. I own a 2003 GLX v6 and it comes with both front seats powered and heated. i hope this helps!

The heating element in the seat could be bad. Check your fuse panel to see if it has a blow fuse.???
