I used to have this information but for the life of me I can't find it now. Of course. :thumbdown As far as I know, all I need is...

    Something is seriously wrong with my car (AND PASSATWORLD - I'm locked out of my own thread!) Is someone available to help with critical timing belt question??? I went in to grease the dowels on the tensioner pulley and the tensioning lever. Didn't think I did anything to change timing, but...

    I was stupid. I went back into grease the pins on the tensioner and latch. Idiot. I can explain what I did in detail, but when I started the engine for 5 secs, I heard clicking!!! OMG, I'm totally panicking. I don't understand how I messed it up, but I did BIG TIME. Please HELP!

    Car info: B5.5 (2003) Passat Wagon 1.8t; AWM; no engine modifications except recent FMIC/DV relocate. About a month and a half ago (maybe more, maybe less I've lost track of time) I noticed a coolant leak from my radiator and while searching for the point of the leak I also found that my SMIC...

    Hello, The smell of gasoline led me to open the hood and discover a fuel fountain! Its coming from the rubber seal between the metallic tubes as you can see from the photos. Does anyone know the Part Number of the seal of the tube (if its a set) so I can order it online? If its easy to repair...

    My question is, has anybody used INA brand parts for the internals on their engine? If so, good or bad? Long story short. Rebuilding my wife's 2.8 AHA heads has lead me down a path I care not travel, however I come to the realization that I have to. I have been finagling a way to save as many...

    So I swapped out my cam chain tensioner following the online diy. It went smoothly but after starting the car it ran terrible. I tore it down and this is how far off my chain jumped!!! No wonder it ran like crap. How do I go about getting it re timed? Please tell me I don't have to put it into...

    Does anybody around here know where to take their Passat to a place that "really" knows how to do a front end alignment with coil-overs? I do have upper control arms that are adjustable, so that puts a little spin on the job that has to get done. Took my car to local a chain, they had the car...

    I am changing the coolant flange and I dropped the metal clip of the heater hose into the engine compartment. I just can't find it. I called the dealership and they don't sell the clip. Is there any other way/trick I can connect the hose securely to the flange? Thanks for any help.

    I lost a lot of sleep on this last night. I have an extra 8mm all thread allen head bolt approximately 3in long. It receives a 6mm allen head to drive it. I took the timing belt off and both intake cams to replace every cam seal including the CCT shoes. I have scoured the FSM and Chilton's...

    Tracking a fuel leak. If I fill up over 3/4 of a tank, gas leaks significantly around the filler area. Tank is solid, no cracks or damage. Pulled wheel well cover out and found this guy dangling- it's wet with gas. Should it be connected to something?? If it's supposed to dangle there- why...

    Hello, I am so glad I took the cover off of my engine and was able to see this. This serpentine belt has less than 3,000 miles on it. Should I not be driving it with this tear in it? I'm going back to the place who fixed it the first time.... Firestone. I was never going to go back there ever...

    So I started this afternoon on my coolant flange replacement. Safe to say It didnt go as plan as one of the elbow hoses broke and getting to the back bolts of the flange was a pain. AWM engine. All eventually worked out and I was able to get old one out and the new flange in... This is where...

    Hi guys, I'm about to buy a 2002 Passat with a possible typo on registration papers, according to VW the engine code is a BBG (it's a 2.8 V6) but the engine number on the papers starts with BGB (BGBxxxxxx). I'm worried this could turn into a big headache. Where would I find a plaque/sticker on...

    I removed the Camshaft Adjuster Unit (cam chain tensioner) on my 1.8T AUG engine to change leaking gaskets. While cleaning under side, I notice the filter screen is broken. I looked in the part chart, and don't see the screen as a separate part. I am not willing to pay $650 for a new...
