That's awesome! Can't believe the state that the car is in now... what a shame, but you can restore it for sure, with A LOT of work. As for the problems, sounds like you have a body control module issue, as well as maybe a transfer case module issue? I saw the 4Lo and the center diff lock lights flash. As for the mold, be very careful! You can get sick from it. I suggest pulling the carpet because mold can hide pretty deep. All seats, all plastic trim, all carpet, all insulation out and washed, and replaced if needed. Can't wait to see the next episode on this project!

Thank you for your tips. I need to get a diagnostic tool to properly diagnose it, but I do believe some of the important modules are affected as there's too many issues for everything to be independent. I plan on cleaning the interior before I start to work on it as it's difficult to work on it in the current state. So that should be a video coming soon

Great video, really helpful. I needed to get the steering wheel off to replace the clockspring and you explained it very well! I dont know if you realised at 5;13 in the video you left the torx bit in the column nut. I did wonder if this was why the horn wasn't as sensitive? Thanks again for the info :)

Mine used to start up slower too when cold even after changing spark plugs. I once misfueled and accidentally put gasoline in it, around 15 litres i think. After the car used it all (mixed with diesel of course) and i changed the diesel filter, the car now starts no problem in cold too😂 probably the gasoline cleaned the engine haha

These passats are my childhood. We have 2 at the moment, both wagons. But they have been parked for a while, one was parked when we bought a p2 xc90, and the second one is needing a new clutch and wheel bearings. Absolute units, and plan to get one of them as my first car. More comfortable to drive than the xc90 and my grandpas 1st gen forester.

All of them are solvable! If you have a sunroof, check the sunroof drains. Check the drain under the battery tray (you must take the battery out and the tray that holds it. My drain was clogged and caused water leaks, once i unclogged it, they were gone). Also, check the door seals, rain might leak by the window regulators.

Plus 12v charging socket’s in the boot of the estate, still handle’s and drives very well. Rear armrest with cup holder’s, parking lights ( what ever side of the car is offside I.E driver’s side ) put the winker/indicator to the up position for the indicator to start to flash. Turn car and light’s off & lock the car, you will see that the outer headlight & rear light have stayed on. This saves the car getting hit in a unlit area or tight roads. Lockable glovebox, great driver’s seat. Door rain puddle light’s shine once the door is opened so that you can see the ground. TAXI MODE !! In the fusebox. Front & read disc brake’s, under engine bay protection cover’s, Aero wiper blades, just upgraded mine on the rear and no more squeaky rear wiper blade ( Seat estate has a squeaky rear wiper ) change your blades to Bosch Aero blades and you will not go back to you old wiper’s. Door mirror’s with folding action & indicator’s. Rest pedal for your clutch foot to rest on. Air conditioning, heated seat’s & cruise control & and half decent trip computer that has never let me down. When driving along and sat in he passenger’s seat just pull gently on the handbrake ( only an inch say ) hold for about 10 seconds and the driver will have a message flash up in the driver’s display that he has never ever seen before and a dong dong dong warning sound. Let go of the handbrake, wait for a few minutes more and do it again. But this shows you how far ahead on certain safety item’s and sensor’s the VW group worked with for year’s. Rear electric child proof windows controlled by the driver. Tailer attached is great and it will show that the trailer is attached correctly on the driver’s display system along with audio winker noise’s inside the car.
