All-
This website has been here in excess of 11 years. The B5 Passat has been around since 1997, the B5.5 since 2001, the B6 since 2006, and the B7 has just hit the streets.

For the older models (B6 and earlier), almost any possible issue you might have with your Passat has been discussed here on this website. Let me state that again - almost any possible issue you might have with your Passat has been discussed here on this website.

There has been a rash of newcomers here who aren't taking the time to look for previously documented information and expect to be spoon-fed from the veterans here on how to fix their cars. We, the veterans of this site, expect you newcomers to take the time to utilize the google search utility at the top and bottom of each and every page here. This search tool provides you, the new user, with the ability to search the entire database using google's search tools for key words and tricky phrases that are pertinent to your problem.

Please take the time to a) read and comprehend the valuable info I've written here; b) post in this thread that you have read what I've written here; and, c) use the google search tool - you'll get faster answers!

Thanks-
Jay

Hello,

I am new on this site and am the owner of a 2004 VW Passat Wagon 1.8t. Recently I changed the air filter on the vehicle and the next day the engine light came on. Also I start having problem with it getting it started. It cranks but it does not start on first or second try. The RPM is rough when the car is not being driven. I took the car to my mechanic and he diagnosed it as the Camshaft position sensor problem. I replaced the sensor but still have the problem. The car is with the mechanic but they can not figure out the problem. Could you please let me know what could the problem.

This is a great site. I had the EPC light start to come on when the engine got warm in my new to me 2004 1.8t Passat. Got the answer to what the codes meant, found out where the crankshaft position sensor (speed sensor) is located and how to replace it. Got it done, no EPC or check engine light.

Hey All,
just read the site. My wife and I purchased our first Passat this last December 2013. Nice car, '02 GSL 6cyl. It had 112k miles on it. Having some issues with the front axle and the oil cooler. I look forward to searching out some answers with the google bar and getting into the valuable info that the people here have provided.

Thanks for the site and I hope we talk soon.

Layne
