If you had never touch the ABS system or the ECU (the cars computer) it may be a low battery problem, although i dont have the same passat (1998 1.8t engine). Another problem may be that most Volkswagens, even new ones such as amaroks have a problem with their catalyst, aprox when theyre 180,000km or 111846.815 miles, that filter it gets clogged and the gases released by the engine do not come out, ruining the passats ECU and causing problems. And the ECU is something you dont want to be broken and less in an old passat.
Again, when my passat has low battery it makes a strange taktaktak when you want to turn it on and turn on the witnesses you mention, if your battery is okay and your ECU too i highly recommend you to check it because ABS and handbrake its ESSENTIAL.

Which filter going to close
maggot from other a year ago
The catalytic filter or converter, which is in the passar exhaust system, is what makes it make less noise and pollute less. Its VERY expensive because it usually has ceramic, platinum, palladium and rhodium. If this filter is your problem, instead of buying a new one, in my case we fix it, i dont know what it has or what they did but it was cheap, although a friend of us did it. If u dont want that neither, another solution is just taking it off and doing an extension of the exhaust, but remember its going to pollute more and make pure loud noise, beware if in your country thats legal.

So what the tensioner does is zips your seatbelt tight in a car accident, a tiny explosion actually, but a new unit I just read is about $250-$300 unfortunately, but I would first take off the plastic trim around it to see if there what the ground wire looks like, could be cut or something

Hi mate the airbag warning light is just to say that it is deactivated because of a fault so it's not dangerous it just means they are not working that's all the light is for

Intermittent No Start / Rough Start and or crank

Volkswagen Passat 2012 TDI SE 194000 miles
Have a 2012 VW Passat TDI SE with 194k miles on it. I just ran into another issue with it not wanting to start with the DPF light and flashing glow plug light only on while turning over the engine. When it does want to start after 5 or 6 tries, the lights go away. And sometimes it will start and then immediately die, or it will start and drive with no issues, or it will not start at all and just keep turning over. Some more info on this car, I do have a power draw coming from the newly replaced remanufactured alternator (about 0.6 amps) so I have to unplug the battery every time I park it. I… Read complete

ABS & ESP lights

Volkswagen Passat 2012 TDI SE 192000 miles
I have a 2012 VW Passat TDi SE and I have had the ABS and ESP lights on sense I bought it back in March/April timeframe. Those lights have occasionally gone in and out, but for the most part have been on consistently. I recently found out that my speakers were not working because they were faulty and I replaced them with JBL 601C speakers I bought off a friend. And the speakers work great, but one thing I noticed sense I put those new speakers in is that my ABS and ESP lights are no longer on. The ESP light does come on occasionally but overall seems to stay off for the most part. I'm not su… Read complete

Gear not changing

Volkswagen Passat 1999 Wagon 200000 miles
I have this VW Passat that will not shift gear when parked in the sun. Every morning, the gear will change normally and can drive more than 300km as long as the ignition is not switched off.
If the ignition is off and the car is parked for 15 mins and above in the sun, the car will not change gear again until the following morning. When it is working normally, no fault code will be displayed using OBD II machine but when the gear refuses to change from 1, the fault code will display ABS /Brake Control Module with VW 01316 as its code. I need help and it's urgent.
