    All in the title, eh? I have a 2003 Passat 2.8 v6 which I recently bought off another man. It drove fine earlier in the day. I parked it, leaving it for a few hours at the spot and in that time the temperature dropped probably 15 degrees Fahrenheit. I turned the car over and it ignited fine...

    I'm in Montreal where we tend to get at least a couple weeks in the -20 to -30 degrees Celsius range (-4 to -20 Fahrenheit) throughout the winter and was thinking of picking up a Frostheater for my 2002 GLX V6 to reduce wear and difficulty cranking on cold starts. I've seen them come highly...

    My new to me B5 Passat 1.8t is having some issues. The first drive of the morning the car takes FOREVER to reach the 190° mark on the coolant temp gauge. After it reaches that point it’ll stay there for a few minutes and then start dropping back down. The heat also blows “warm” but not by any...

    Hi all, am o correct in thinking this is likely a flap motor fault? 2006 3c. If I crank the heat it blows hot on both, but turning down to low gets kind of room temp from the left, icy cold from the right

    So my 2005 V6 Passat has had a hard time starting it left sitting in the cold for a few days in the past. I’ll start it and it’ll be fine hen but a rough start.

    Hello, Over the past week, I have had this new issue with my 01 Passat 1.8t AUG. When I go to start it after it has been sitting, let's say, over night or for more than 5-6 hours, it cranks, and at likes it has started, but then dies. On the second attempt, it always starts right up. I have...

    ok. So we all know how much we all hate the aftermarket CAI idea because "the car already comes with one etc etc", or short ram that "if anything you suck in the hot air" i've looked around on this forum (maybe not extensively but i did), and I have not seen anyone trying to guide the cone...

    Hi, My Passat 1.8T is making a strange noise at cold start up. Oil level is fine and I don't have a dry start knock like it's low on oil pressure but the knock fades in after a minute on start up then I hear something click and it goes away. Could I be hearing detonation like a knock sensor...

    I have a 2004 Passat GLX V6 with the tiptronic transmission. When the car sits overnight in the cold, the transmission appears to be stuck in a higher gear when I start it up in the morning and start moving. The car feels like it starts off in 3rd gear (or so) from a standstill. I believe the...

Only now I'm realizing how weak my A/C system performs, I can't get that nice iceberg breeze from the vents as before, only a...
