I have a 98 passat with the same problem I changed mine with a detailed step by step instruction from passatworld (formerly clubB5). http://www.passatworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=182167&highlight=vent+light+replacement good luck, and enjoy! BadPAV3
yes it can
As I recall, there is no relay involved in this. When you say dashlight, you mean the lights on the guages when the headlights are on? (gauge illumination) When you say taillights, do you mean the 'running lights' that are on when the headlights are on, or the brake lights? If you are describing both running lights and guage illumination, then that would point to faulty light switch, loose ground wire under the dash, or fault in supply wiring. The gauge illumination has a dimmer module which can be faulty (but very unlikely to affect exterior lights) If one of these is the gauge illumination, and the other is the brake lights, then this would point to a faulty ground wire connection as the supply circuits to these two functions is not common.
I don't see how. The ABS system is designed to fall safe, ie, off.
No, it would cause the "low oil" light to come on.
the boot lock actuator is faulty the seize up they are not dear to replace around 20 euros .they go all the time
Most likely cause is a faulty coolant temperature sensor.

In some vehicles, yes.
The bomb squad determined that the explosion at Mr. Hoo's restaurant was caused by a faulty gas line and not by a bomb.
Likely a faulty coolant temperature sensor. Change the sensor.
the oil cooler shoule be pressured tested, or to test it yourselve disconnect the two ware pipes going to the oil cooler and join them together. The car can now be driven once you have toped up the cooling system. If oil leaks from the oil cooler out on to the groud then the cooler is faulty. If cooler is o k then the head gasket may be faulty
Change the wine without a question. May even offer the new bottle for free. The faulty (corked, vinegar like) wine can be used in the kitchen.
