    Hey, all! New guy here. I have a 2014 1.8t SE, A/T. I've had it for about 3 years now, and I'm about to hit the 130k mark. I've been a mechanic for about 7 years now, but I'm still new to the Euro scene. What really sucks is that there's no VW "clubs" out here (Vegas) so I'm forced to get all my...

    Hello All, I’m getting into modifying my car from an aesthetic standpoint first. Getting some pointers and ideas on how to get the right LED lights that don’t send an error message for the car and best place to buy a body kit would help a lot. Looking forward to meeting new friends and gaining...

    Okay- my daughter isn't shuddering and sputtering, her TSI is. It seem to happen irregularly. She took it to the dealership which told her she should run premium gas in it and charged her $300 for a fuel injector cleaning (and $50 to put in a half quart of oil). Problem was gone for a couple...

    '10 B6 ~75k miles. TSI engine running great. Need a new water pump. Thinking that replacing the original (faulty) timing chain tensioners is an absolute no brainer. Supposedly, VW redesigned the tensioners. My questions: 1) are the tensioners, in fact, redesigned? 2) does anyone know the part...

    Greetings, Should I be installing a Catch Can on this engine? From what I understand, that should be a 'yes'. Anyone have some DIY links, info they can share? Thanks in advance.

    I don't have much experience with working on cars - but I'm loving reading about the PASSAT and the options available in modifying. I would really love just a checklist or advice on what upgrades I can / should do to make it feel more of a luxury feel. I'm not going for anything loud or ghetto...

    I just purchased a used 2015 1.8 TSI black Passat with 23K miles. Drives like a new car and I absolutely love it! I've had a 99 Passat, an 03 Passat, and an 06 GTI. To me, there's nothing like a VW. I was a little worried about an automatic 1.8T in such a big car, but it does very well. I have...

    I have looked and it seems like there is no good option for driving or fog lights for this thing. The headlights are barely adequate and I would like to put some more light up front. I live in the country, like driving at night, and don't want to be the guy that kills Bambi's mother. I can get...

    Hi, everyone - 2009 Passat 2.0T TSI (CCTA) Briefly, the A/C suction hose was pressed into the auxiliary fan (smaller of the two) which in turn sliced a gash in the flexible section causing all of the refrigerant to leak out. This caused the auxiliary fan to continuously run even when the engine...
