    2014 1.8t Passat sporadically rough idle and the RPMs would bounce up and down. Usually when I was coming to a stop sign. It seemed like it was going to stall. It was not consistent and usually happened at colder tempuratures or when the car was half way warmed up. When I would hold the...

    In my 1999 Passat b5, interior lights comes off when I unlock it with the key fob but not even a single one comes off upon opening any of the doors.

    I've got a new project, a 2003 W8. She most likely needs a new transmission, and I was thinking about manual swapping it. I've read around that a 2.7 allroad tranny should fit, but I figured I'd ask around a bit before making any decisions. Any advice on whether I should swap it or not? Should...

    Hi all, bought this car 2 days ago. Honestly was looking earlier a MB E300 or Lexus ES 350 , but price was too high. Prior car was my beloved 2008 BMW 528 that almost die on me… overall like the car. My 2 major disappointment are no Parking sensors and No Fog light. I find the lights are not...

    My son and I are finishing installing a replacement engine in our 2002 Passat 2.8L V6. It’s been a monumental task. For a shade tree mechanic, but I’m happy to say that we’re almost there. There are a few things that I’m puzzled on, however. I wondered if someone could shed some light on our...

    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...

    Greetings all, I hope you all are enjoying this memorial day weekend. I've been the first owner of my 21' Passat R-Line NMS for the entirety of its life. Have routinely kept up on any maintenance and oil changes every 5k. Drive somewhat spiritedly here and there. Yesterday I went ahead and...

    There is a transmission problem. When I shift the gear lever between "D and R" there is a heavy jeck and all positions on the OBD are indicated and the car takes off sluggishly especially going uphill. But if i only go from park to drive the car runs fine with no issues.
