    I am getting code 001109 - EVAP System P0455 - 001 - Large Leak Detected I meanwhile changed the gas cap seal (since the dash warning light was showing that symbol), but no change. What are likely culprits for the leak? Is the EGR pipe (back of engine) and PCV also part of the 'evap system'...

    Howdy, long time lurker, first time poster... 2002 Passat 1.8T, bought at 96K, now has 136K, and still runs strong. Sooooooo, I had some idling issues last week, chugging, and missing, dieing at stoplights. Replaced the PCV Valve from O'reilly. The old one was pretty dirty, but not sure if...

    I have a 2000 V6, 5 speed manual, front wheel drive variant. I am confused about whether this car has a CAN bus wiring system; I think it does, but can anyone say for sure? Also, I read in the Bentley manual that if the wiring needs to be repaired, you need to use the "VAS 1978 Wiring Harness...

    Well the T (19 in the pic) junction broke on the Intake maifold side and threw a CEL light(0300) not to mention dropped idle RPM’s as well as giving it a rough idle. 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...

    Looks as though our Passat is headed to the wrecking yard. Before she goes though, I would like to take the stock sound system out of it and install it in my VW Eurovan. Is this something that can be done, by someone who knows little about sound systems (me!), without too much trouble or money?

    So I have a 2001vw Passat 1.8T, and I have been having problems with my ABS/Traction control system for a while now. It started when one day with the ABS light and brake light coming on a flashing periodically. I went through and changed all of my wheel speed sensors(got them cheep) and my brake...

    A friend of mine's B7 Passat has AC system issue. When he turns on AC, AC vents blow warm air and AC compressor is not turning. I stood near compressor. I cannot hear anything, no clutch click. I hooked up my AC manifold gauge and it showed 95psi (on both low and high sides as compressor was not...

    Hey, Brit living in spain here My pcv system is messed up. I was getting exhaust smells coming in through the air vents as soon as I fired her up from cold, so assumed a leak in the exhaust system. After reading up on here, and a mechanic telling me there was nothing wrong :icon_eek: I located...

    Hi guys My OG fuel pump went out in my A4 last year (cross posting to this forum because didn't get any response from Audizine). Replaced it with a used one from a parts car I had, and low and behold the check valve in that pump doesn't work (rest of the pump works great). Car takes multiple...

    Hi all. I’m new. I am not a mechanic. I have a 2000 Passat, 2.8. I traced a 360 mA parasitic draw to the turn signal system. I pulled the 10A fuse and the drain reduced to 33 mA. I need help tracing the reason for the drain in the circuit. Two strange things occurred after I pulled the fuse. My...

    Hi everyone. I am new and searched the archives but didn't find this particular issue addressed previously. I apologize if I missed it. I have a 2008 Passat wagon 2.0T with the basic audio system (CD, radio and aux jack located in the armrest). Bass, treble, balance and fade are controlled...

    I finished my timing belt/tensioner/rollers/coolant pump job on my '05 A4, and man does it feel good after driving a worn-out F-150. It may not be as perfect as AndreasPassat's engines, but still took almost a month to complete, working on it very part-time. Yes I know this engine is B6, not...

    I recently purchased a 2003 wagon. It had a CD/cassette/radio head unit--nothing said Monsoon on it. I just installed a Sony double DIN HU and like it so I started thinking about adding new speakers and maybe a powered sub. The challenge is that Crutchfield says that I should not have...

    Vickie is being a real bitch. :banghead: She's a 2001 VW Passat 1.8t AUG manuel who is throwing out codes p0012 and p0010. This isn't the first time. Last June I began randomly losing power as I drove... it progressively got worse (one a week, to daily) until finally the car would not start at...

    I have a 2004 Passat with aftermarket blaupunkt radio and I wanted to go for the OEM look and fit the original RNS MFD (see in pictures). Will all the functions work as I dont think I have gps installed. Also the radio that I found has a code that the owner doesn't know, nor does he have the VIN...
