    Hello. I am wondering about buying a used 2010 Passat B6 2.0tdi 4motion. It seems to have fluids serviced, clutch changed. Runs well. A bit stiff on changing gears - manual gearbox - but price is ok so guess I can replace it if needed. I took lots of pictures under the car and suddenly realised...

    I changed the thermostat today as the car was no longer sitting at the solid 90°C as is should, it was hovering more around the 70°C, presumably the thermostat sticking open. Now that I've changed the thermostat and reassembled, the engine is sitting spot on 90°C, heaters are getting lovely and...

    So yes I know this has been talked about but bear with me.. After hours of reading forums I think I finally found my issue. After three days of rain and not driving the car, I got into it the other morning to find a rather damp passenger carpet (front). After checking plenum, cabin air filter...

    Hi All: This evening when I got home, suddenly, steam started coming out of my car's hood on the passenger side near the windshield/window wiper area. I opened the hood and saw that a small amount of steam coming out the area on the upper left side of my engine where the hoses are and also the...

    I spent more time trying to get the right tools to get that darned banjo bolt off the rack than it would take to do this whole procedure with an actual list of what I'd need. So I'm writing this up, with all the things I wish I'd known ahead of time. (I actually did this on my Audi A6 2.8L, but...

    OK - crazy idea time. Thermostat is stuck open in my 03 v6. 270K miles and not too long for the world...but still need it and the heat is only good at idle and I don't feel like tearing it open to replace the T-stat right now in the cold. Here's my idea....since the thermostat is stuck open -...

    Hi, My 2002 1,8T (AWM) Passat Wagon had developed a coolant leak which I finally tracked down to a disintegrating turbocharger coolant hose. Here a picture of the hose for reference: The location of this hose makes it very difficult to access it. I took out the airbox and hoses attached to...

I made a temporary fix but need a replacement anyone know where I can get one or is it something I need to source from a hardware...

    Hi all, 2001.5 Passat sedan 1.8t AWM, 174,800 miles. I've been working on the timing belt job from hell for the past two weeks. I first thought I had everything done, then I cranked it and the car wouldn't start (it would only crank). After realizing the belt was off 2 teeth I tore it apart...

    Hi all, I have a 2003 Passat 1.8T with a whiny power steering pump. The question is if I should just replace the pump, or if there is something else that could be wrong that I'm not thinking of. The background is this. It all started about 4 months ago with a leak of power steering...

    Hi everyone, I have a b5 glx 2000 sedan. I found a coolant leak in one of the two hoses (approx 3/8th inch hose) that go from the motor to the black pipe that goes around the motor. I'm replacing both because might as well. They are the ones that are above the motor on the driver side. I have...

    There is a small hose, under the coolant reservoir of my 2003 V6 2.8L. One end is connected, however the upper end is not connected to anything. Could someone help me identify what this should be connected to and what it is? Thank you in advance.

    I'm looking for help with finding part number 3B0 145 828 K. I'm looking for used parts or links to places with the part for less than VW's $313 asking price. I'm also interested in successfully used upgrades or mods. I have had people point me towards using the 3B0 145 828 G as a substitute...

    Hi everyone! I replaced my coolant flange two years ago due damage and recently developed a second coolant leak (B5 ATW engine). This time, the coolant is leaking from the mating point of the coolant flange and heater core hose. When I replaced the flange, I recall there being an o-ring in...

    I changed the fuel filter this summer. Straightforward and simple. Now it's gotten cold, and I'm springing a leak on the outlet side of the filter. I checked the hose (new also this summer), it's intact, no leaks. I rotated the filter to check out the flange; looks good. However, when the fuel...

    I found this part online but doesn't seem to match exactly to what I have in my 02 Passat 1.8t. It says it fits 1997-05 Passat. Vacuum Check Valve Breather Hose Assembly There is a 2nd one on Amazon that appears to be identical part but more money. Anyone know if this will work or not? The...
