problem #1

Oct 012011

Passat GLS 1.8L Turbo

  • Automatic transmission
  • 122,000 miles

The mute wire on the radio is grounding out causing the radio to stay on and drain the battery. i was told i would have to replace the whole unit to fix the problem about $500. My fix was taking the fuse out and buying my wife the music bullet speaker and double usb car charger to power her phone and speaker. that cost me $25 and she is happy.
