Hello guys, i'm new on the Forum. I have two problems with my 99 passat, and i wanted get replies before i took it to the shop.

1. Every time , let's say i get off the highways and start making a right turn the car starts stutter (feel like it wants to shut off) and the traction light comes on, then when i put the wheel strait and let go of the a accelerator the car goes back to normal. "This is only on right turn and when i hit the accelerator"

2. Now i'm getting the break light and oil light and ABS light coming on on the same time, it start beeping then it goes away then i'll come back on. " it's not on every time, ones in a while" If anybody can help please, thank you..

 

Well, welcome to the forum. First, check your oil before you start your car. As far as the car sputtering on right turns, usually is deposits in the fuel tank blocking the path of fuel through the pump, but the traction light coming on, too, that's weird. Something maybe wrong as far as the sensors go, or the wheels are just slipping somehow. Mine does it, but having 18's on it, you feel if it's slipping or not. The 2nd question, as far as I can tell the ABS light may be tied into the traction light. This is a weird problem, if it's under warranty take it in, it's prolly not so CALL a VW service department and ask just off top of their head. That's what I do...hope it works out.

 

My gf just bought a 99 Passat and we are having one of the same problems as you king. The ABS light stays on and the Brake light constantly flashes..as does the oil pressure light. When we test drove the car they had to take it down off of a ramp that was pretty steep..so we figured that all of the oil was in the back part of the engine. Test drove it and the lights went away. Now the lights are totally random, sometimes on startup they'll come on, some not..and sometimes they'll come on driving down the road. So we took the car and got the oil changed and all the fluids checked and filled, went to a movie and none of the lights came on. Came out from the movie and the lights stayed off, and about 1/2 way home they came on. So it can't be oil pressure because we JUST had new oil put into the car this afternoon and it can't be leaking because there would be a big spot in our driveway. If I find anything out I'll let you know, much appreciated if you let me know if you find anything out.

Other than that, quite the lovely car.

 

My problem was the abs module, had it change and the problem went away.
