Where to find answers on common car problems?
Are there any comprehensive websites to use for a car problem?
The driver side drl on my 2020 passat is out and I cannot find the hub inside of it for it. I think it is going to require some disassembly. Checked google and youtube for hours, something needs to come off for it. I poked around and pulled out the turn signal but there are no other capped holes accessible through under the hood or body cover which I removed to poke around. My dad is a car guy but he knows old cars, not newer ones. He helped me a bit but has severe macular degeneration and can’t see in there. I felt up everything and found nothing. I took a look at the module online and I think I might have located that which would need to be removed but a few things look like they need to be removed to access it.
Actual old style forums for cars are great for this.
No an overly helpful suggestion maybe, but I used to look for servers hosting the cars service manual whenever I had issues. But that was in the early 2010s, so not sure where to look for them now.
Worth looking into, thanks. Or maybe some forums come to think of it
Not ideal because reddit, but when in need.. r/Cartalk has helped me several times in the past.
Internet archive has some service manuals. You could also try https://charm.li/
Check out 4:30 in this video and see if that looks like what you have. Seems DLR is a self contained assembly that is replaced as a whole unit.
Nada but thanks. It looks like that from the outside but it isn’t. I searched for the correct parts on rock auto and it looks like the housing gotta be removed
Does your headlight work juat daytime Running Light is not? on my Honda it is same bulb just has dual wattage modes
Just the drl. I think im gonna see if the module can be taken out tonight.
Back in the 90ies my uncle always got a book for the car hee owned which would explain how to disassemble it.
But me and my dad never bothered with the book, just got to work on it and figured it out on the go. The biggest thing I replaced in my car was the whole Chassis.
But yeah in the new cars there is less mechanical stuff and more electronics so it's getting difficult.
The only place I can think off was YouTube, or if you can find a book like my uncle always had: https://onlymanuals.com/volkswagen/passat/volkswagen_passat_b3_workshop_manual_passat_b3

The ninetieies?
The LED 'U' shaped accent light in the passenger side headlamp assembly of my 2017 Golf went out a few years ago, causing an error that disabled the headlight turning feature. It is not repairable so I had to get a new assembly. Fortunately, it happened right before my warranty finished and was covered.
