  2. Passat Owners Club
    What do you guys hook to for a Passat stuck in the snow with no tow hooks? And it really sucks that they don't let you rev up with tire tracking light is on, anyway to bypass this? Thanks for your help. I am sorry but no tow hooks is just plain stupid.

    Hi, just joined in the hope of getting some information. I have a 2014 Passat Estate 2.0 TDI that I tow with. The manual says that the stop/start should be off when towing, but doesn't say why. I contacted VW for more explanation, and all they said was it's due to the extra weight and load...

    Hi All I recently replaced the head gasket on my 1981 caddy diesel.

I experienced engine runaway once I was on the highway. I was able to get the...
  11. Touareg Owners Club
    Hi. This is my first post and need some advice please. I've just purchased a 2015 r line and need to have a tow bar fitted.

    I recently bought a 2012 Tiguan and was hoping to get some concrete info on towing a camper and trailer with landscape equipment. I read a bunch of posts regarding the topic but answers were scattered and somewhat confusing. There's currently a 1 1/4 hitch. I originally thought this was a...
  17. 1975 - 1984 VW Rabbit General Forum
    Drove my '93 Cabby around town today with the top down since it was such a pretty day. But for some reason my fan kept running even after I let the car sit for a couple of hours. It never ran hot so it wasn't an overheating problem. Could it be a bad fan switch relay?
