This code is for the theremostat heater control sensor that is under the intake. very labor intensive and should be handle by a quilified tech. the reason the code will not clear is because it is a hard fault and it is seeing it constantly or you do not have the proper scan tool with the correct software. it needs to be vag software and you can get one of these off ebay for under 50 dollars.

you can check the respected fuse for ecm circuit -j220 if that is okay it will need to be tested further.

let me know if you have any more question. good luck

Air conditioner suddenly stopped working on my 2003 passat wagon glx 4 motion

Possibly. Check for the proper amount of freon in the system. There are pressure sensing switches that stop the compressor as a safety measure.

2003 passat w8 wagon 4 motion 5 speed automatic, trans seems to be in 3rd or 4th gear & doesn't shift up or down. mil light is on. service tech got trouble code p0753 & p0741 on diagnostic...

their are no spares sold for this gearbox as far as i know of here in spain its a reconditioned box from dealer was all i could find for one of these cars or the scrapyard .Maybe stateside where they can only drive autos for what ever reason ?? you may find the spares but a little tip here is to look under the passenger side floor as the main computer for the gearbox is here and if the Ac condensate outlet pipe gets block it fills the well up with water where the computer is and this causes it not to work just as you describe

P0741....Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Performance or Stuck Off


P0753....Shift Solenoid 'A' Electrical

Just bought my '03 vw passat wagon today,with

It may not reset for 50 drive cycles. It would be quicker to get it scanned by the dealer who just sold it to you and ask them for the code. If it does come back as a small evap leak then they can clear the code and you can be on your way. If the vehicle was left running during you refilling the fuel, it would trigger this code. Just don't tell them that when you take it in. Play dumb and tell them "it just came on"! let me know if you need anything else.

2007 Passat wagon. I need to reset the air bag warning light.

the air bag light will only show if the ignition was turned on while it was disconnected.

it will defo need to be pluged into the computer to be put out but some smaller garages will have the software to do this and will be a little cheaper.here in ireland VW wanted 50euro to do mine but a small garage done it for 30euro.

you can buy code finders/reset gadgets on ebay but might not be worth it for one job compared to $130.

my suggestion would be to get the main dealer to do it if a normal automotive shop cannot access it.

Check engine light is on

The check engine light coming on indicates that a "trouble code" has been set by the onboard computer and is stored in it's memory. There is a wide range of possible causes, such as bad sensor(s), wiring faults, leaking or disconnected vacuum line(s), out of acceptible range engine environmental variables... Some manufacturers even program the light to come when the maintenance schedule calls for service! (a clever ploy!)
The good news is that most of the larger auto parts stores now offer free computer diagnostic scans, where they can read the trouble code and reset/clear the check engine light. Some causes are a LOT more serious than others, so act accordingly on the indicated problem... and some causes are merely "glitches" in the system when there really is nothing wrong!
Hope this is helpful, and good luck with the Passat... nice car!
