    Hi all, hope I have posted in the right section. My central locking on my 2012 Passat TDI Bluemotion is playing up. The remote locking fob will lock the car and it will open the boot. When I press the button to unlock the car, nothing happens. I have tried unlocking with the dummy...

    Hi folks, A couple of weeks ago my dad's B6 TDI passat's AC stopped working. It only blew warm air. The weird thing is, after I checked it, the heater also doesn't seem to be working. It does blow air, quite well actually, which means the fan is still working, and the fuses are good, so those...

    Hey everyone, I recently discovered an exhaust leak that turned out to be a broken v-band clamp on the stock turbo from my 2010 2.0T TSI engine. I've attached a picture of the broken one, and a new one that I found online (after much searching...). VW do not list this as an individual part...

    My passat has a turbo underboost code and before changing the turbo I was inspecting all the lines. I noticed that there was an elbow completely missing that looks pretty important. It goes into the engine right near where the oil dipstick tube is. I have no idea what the purpose of the elbow...

    Gentlemen/Ladies, I have had this vehicle for 15 years, tried my best to maintain it as prescribed. Engine has 156K, 1st timing belt change @ 81000, was planning on the next one at 160,000, so decided to get new vehicle. On the ride back from purchase, belt popped. Don't know if it's bad belt...

    Hey guys! Just wanted to share this little bit of breakdown genius I had yesterday. We all know our cars are getting older and parts need replacing...especially those plastic parts that are subjected to extreme heat. Well, it's been hot in Florida the last few days...REALLY hot. Yesterday, I...

    What would cause this tube to keep breaking? I have replaced three times. Does anyone make a metal version of this (06A103213F)?

    Hey guys, can anyone identify what this broken component is for me? Its a line going under the coolant reservoir and appears to have something snapped off at one end. My car has had a little trouble idling for a few months now and it throws misfire codes, could this be the cause of that?

    UPDATE: I Found It!...What is this broken plastic part on the motor? UPDATE: The forum won't let me delete this thread so I will update. I found the part, it is a vacuum check valve. I've just bought a 2002 Passat B5.5 4cyl Turbo. I've never had a VW before so excuse me if I come across as...

    The flex pipe (back of engine) is broken. While cheap downpipes are available for other 2.0T (recently bought one for my 2006 A3 FWD 2.0T), i can't find a reasonable (i.e. cheap) downpipe listed for the 2006 Passat 2.0T. Or I am not looking for the right model. Is the there a model that cross...

    HI, as stated, I have a 02 v6 4mo with broken coil springs on the front drivers side. Dealership quoted me a laughable price for all new strut assembly which is obviously out of the question as the car has over 170k on the clock. I see that gabriel and osc both sell complete strut...

    So I was replacing a 1.8t water pump when I torqued the last bolt down, at 88 inch lbs, nothing but butter. Drilled the hole a little bigger and ended up snapping off my tap inside the hole. I have no clue how to go about removing it. Can I use an acetylene torch to try to remove it or would I...

    Hello everybody, I took my car today for state inspection and it failed because of a broken coil spring in the front strut. There was a piece of the coil that was hanging but the spring itself seems to be holding fine. I'm pretty sure it will pass inspection now that I removed that broken piece...

    I believe my ignition switch is broken. Ignition will not turn with out a great deal of force. It spins freely then and will not start but the radio will come on if left in a certain position. Unfortunately the steering wheel is locked out as well. Locked out straight and I can't unlock it...

    I have not used the search function in quite some time, but it appears to be broken. At least for me, using Google Chrome, or IE, I get the following error message when trying to performa search in the "Google custom search" field. I use this search field extensively as it is much better than...

    Hi folks, So I was replacing all the rear cam seals and when I removed the camshaft position sensor cap out of the way to get to the seal behind it, I was left with a small magnetized piece left inside. Fished it out and had to read up online to discover where it went. Looked in the cap/cover...

    I am trying to change out the steering knuckle on my 2003 1.8t Passat Wagon. Unfortunately the upper bolt for the tie rods head popped off as I tried to loosen it. What suggestions do you guys have for getting it out? It doesn't appear to have enough room to get a drill in there? The point where...
