My car’s master key for my Passat just suddenly stopped operating today, and I don’t believe that the batteries are dead. I read in my car manual how to reprogram or "restart" the key, but I couldn’t get it to work. Does anybody know how to do this? Or is there possibly something else wrong with the key? It’s kind of important that I get it fixed because I only have one master key to get into my car. Any...

If you are just doing an intake and nothing else, you could probably skip out on it and put that money elsewhere – you...

They’re meant to be replaced every 60-80K miles. The plastic impeller will slowly...

looking for a part called a clock spring and am having trouble finding one for my grand daughters vehicle and it needs to be "triptronic" what ever the heck that means. Start with your local parts store but I have a hunch that this is a dealer part. You did not state what year the car is, that’s important as the dealers are not committed to carry parts for cars more than 7 years old. The good news is that the Germans are...
