    Hello forum, I have what seems to be a small coolant leak somewhere on the drivers side of the vehicle. I recently added UV coolant dye to the coolant reservoir to help me to locate the leak. After a week of driving around with the dye in the cooling system, I was able to see some of the UV...

    I have a 2017 B9 Passat and there’s a small leak problem. So after heavy rain a small volume of water lodges on the front passenger side carpet of the car.

    Just bought a 2006 Passat (B6) with the 2.0T engine in excellent shape. Happy with the car, great handling, speed, features. First VW and I love it! There is a mystery leak in the car. When it's been out in the wet for a while the footwell of the front passenger side gets wet. It's very...

    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...

    If you get a check engine light and large evap leak code like I did on my 09 wagon, check to see if your gas cap wiggles a little or a lot after tightening. If so, you can order the part 1K0-201-557-A from the dealer for way less than the entire cap and swap it out in under a minute. Mine was...
