  1. Volkswagen Passat B7 Discussion
    I just replaced the turbo in my B7. It was burning ~1qt of oik every 500 miles, sputtering and coughing, rough warm ups, loss of power. I intend to do a write up, but in the mean time if anyone needs help let me know. The car runs great now.

    Hi all, My Passat B5 (3B2) 2.3 VR5, AGZ engine, has a failing ignition coil (like this: TRIDON IGNITION COIL FOR Volkswagen Bora 11/99-05/01,V5,2.3L AGZ | eBay). I live in France and it's getting pretty much impossible to find a replacement other than the very expensive one in the link...

    This is a DIY for replacing the parking brake cables for :b55: Passat front wheel drive. If you have to replace one you might as well replace the other. I'm writing this because I have 3 manuals and none of them had all the right directions for doing it (Haynes, Audi A4/B5 Brake Repair and an...

    I have a front wheel drive 1.8T and I just finished replacing the rear calipers. Unfortunately the brake cable on the right does not always retract. The cable has no plastic coating (unlike the left where it's in the process of crumbling off). I pulled the boot and some strands are rusted away...

    i posted this in the electronics forum, but am not convinced I will get any responses. I have also searched but not found what I need (or think I need). Perhaps someone can direct me to an applicable post. I have a '98 B5 sedan. I have been replacing the door speakers with junk yard speakers...

    I just bought the 2008 Passat Wagon... One of the lift motors for the rear hatch is bad. I have searched....and searched....and searched. I don't want to go pulling off the wrong things to access the motors. Are the removed via the large rubber seal between the hinges? Or, do I pull off...

    Weird part issue. I received my replacement passenger (and driver) lock mechanisms for my 1999. I went to install the passenger side, and tried to slide the lock cylinder back into place, and no go. I look in, and there is no slot for a lock cylinder connection. I verified the part# matched...

    Hi, I am trying to save a 2001 Passat with the V6 motor. It has 475,000 km on it and really want to see it get to half a million kilometers. The crankshaft seal is broken so its literally throwing out oil. I have the front end off the car and see that the crankshaft bolt looks like it needs a...

    My wife has a 2012 S model with the 2.5L 5 cylinder and one of the brackets that mounts the sway bar to the subframe broke. You can't replace just the brackets because of piss poor design (bracket is welded around the bushing) so i bought a replacement sway bar. From what I'm reading, I'll...

    On a 2004 Passat wagon GLS 1.8T....what is the recommended service interval for the timing belt and does the belt begin to make noise at any point in it's life when it is close to failure? Or, does it just break with no symptoms of immenant failure? I'm on my second belt which was replaced at...

    My hood strut won't hold the hood up. I noticed this after I had the car Krown Coated. My local shop wants CAD $130 + 13% tax for parts and labour. How much does this strut cost? And surely it's a bolt and the top and bottom and you're done? I've looked on Amazon and eBay but can't find...

    A search turns up various threads on Front Wheel Bearing Replacement. But no "how-to" thread. If there is a how-to, could someone point me to it. Thank You!

    Working on my 2003 passat 2.8l v6 trying to fix oil leaks. I'm having a hell of a time using this cam tensioner tool. I have broke 2 of them.(Plastic) The instructions they do give you states to compress the tensioner manually before you use the tool. Which I don't quite understand that . I push...

    Can't find instructions to change the air bag module. Can someone post up DIY links? Does the center console, radio have to come out?

    I posted previously about the noise coming from the front end of my car: https://www.passatworld.com/forums/volkswagen-passat-b5-discussion/562557-how-check-serpentine-belt-pulleys.html The noise went away from many weeks but now it's back and the noise stays long enough for me to get the...

    In scraping the slush off the rocker panels, I broke off that little access panel that you open to jack up the vehicle. The plastic pivot-point clips broke beyond saving. Does anyone know where I could find such an odd part as this ?

    Hello everyone, I was wondering if it was okay to post about the Arteon since it is the CC replacement in this area. Does anyone have any information about its release date for the us? I am very eager to see it and test drive it.
