I had this problem too. this is very annoying, and also a safety hazard. After a lot of investigation, and a few trips to the dealer, the cause was determined to be a non-functioning recirc door. recirc door was stuck on, and humid air from the cars interior (wet shoes, breathing, etc.) was being passed directly onto the windows by the defrost system. Dealer closed the door, and it went away immediately. Recirc servo motor part was ordered, and replaced. good as new. was covered under pre-owned warranty. Hope this helps anyone else.

I have the same problem. It only happens when its raining, cold or when its snowing outside. It takes about 20 min for the entire fog to be completely out of my windshield. The backwindows stay fogged the entire time even after the heater is working full blast.. I'm going to take it to the dealer ship too and see what they say.

When driving the car in cold weather, the A/C compressor should come on when the defrost is on. And, when the car is driven a short distance, enough to heat the engine coolant, and it is cold outside, on restart of the engine, moisture or fog will temporarily cover the windshield. How long depends on how hot the coolant got, and how hot you have the heater turned on. There is a thermodynamic process happening here that is not easy to understand.

Your A/C compressor must be operating though in order for this dynamic to occur.

Power windows and sunroof are not working as well as power locks will not stay locked. this happened after jumping the battery. any ideas of what the problems is? Already talked to a vw dealer and they...

The first thing you need to check is your fuses- it is not unusual to blow a fuse when jump-starting. Since all the power accessories (windows, roof, locks) went out together this is the best place to start. It has been a while since I worked on my Daughter's Passat, so I cannot remember if it is in the under-hood fuse panel, or the fuse panel inside the car.
If your fuses are OK, you can call VW-Parts, Inc. at (845) 254-6600. This is an after-market parts supply house in Fleischmanns, NY that deals only with VW's. Most times, they are happy to help with problems like this, and if it requires a part, they will have what you need for a good price.
Good Luck, and Thank You for using FixYa.

Transmission slams hard when down shifting. rattles car. 2007 vw passat. 2.0 turbo automatic

Need more clarification when driving and park. Happen to vw a lot with no solution. Could be electrical ( Tcm + Wiring conector, ECM) ( fluid change fluid+filter add lucid tray oil) or mechanical. Rattle could be engine or evap thing located under or next to air filter. Alternator also. The engine you speak of is know for sludge build up problems by VW. They've even made recalls base on what I've heard. Check oil circulation and how to fix oil circulation problem. Drop the the oil pan and clean filter screen where it sucks in oil. Other things related need to be unclog..

2003 passat issues

Well, your local garage is correct. Most cars now a days have computers for everything. That is one computer that runs those things. But before you go into replacing an expensive motor, go through and get a wiring diagram from your local parts store, and then see where the wiring all have in common, this may only be the computer, but may be a fuse of some sort. hope that helps.

Oil usage in 2006 passat 2.0 turbo

I had the same problem with my wife's 2006 passat turbo. We lost 2.5 quarts in 3000 miles and the warning light came on. They put us on a 1000 mile oil test and I lost 1.8 more quarts of oil. They finally agreed to replace the rings. Service tech told me that the factory rings are defective, they begin to lead after about 25,000.
