Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet Pulled these NGK spark plugs from a 2001 VW Passat 1.8T with 120k miles. Do these plugs look like they need to be replaced? The look relatively fine to me for having around 60k miles on them. Do they appear to indicate anything off about the...

New-to-me car, but recently did the overheating thing....and was difficult to diagnose. Lots of great posts here on diagnosing, but I'll just add that you can easily check the impeller for looseness by accessing it through the drain plug near the thermostat. Just insert a thin hex key, or...

Hello yall, I just bought my first VW on Wednesday and changed the oil Sunday. As I was filling up the last of the quarts of oil I noticed some sludge on the cap and then some in the engine as I looked down the opening. I just put in Synthetic 10W30 and a new filter. After looking at the...

I've had my passat for a couple years now. She's been a trooper and has run great even tho I bought her with over 100k miles. She's now at 120k and I can sense something slight when it comes to shifting. It's just not as crisp or sometimes lags a bit. It's an automatic and I assume the fluid has...

Hey guys I'm looking to but a Passat wagon and was looking at these two. The 1.8T has 120k and the V6 has 110k. I know 1.8T is a good car and is cheap to fix but the glx is darn hot too. WHat is the bottom line? Is the V6 too expensive to fix in the future? Both owners say they took care of the...

hey i was wondering your thoughts on doing a unitronics stage 1+ software on a 1.8t auto at 120k. and if i should be worried about the tranny.

I have a 2003 GLX 2.8L Tiptronic with 119K miles. Never had a tranny fluid/filter change, because dealer said it is not necessary...? I asked this question at every major service interval. I never worried much, because I planned to get rid of it at about 120K. Well, have decided to drive...

Hi there, I have a 99 B5 2.8V6 (Automatic) with about 125K Miles. All is working fine; the question is should I replace the filter and fluid at this point. ( it has never been changed) I've heard horror stories about transmissions going bad simply by replacing the fluid. Others say that the...

Finally! I just hit the big 120K milestone. So I decided to try on my K04. Big difference!!! I love the way it sounds. The K03 sound was like eeeiiiiiiiiiii. The K04 is more like weeee-you. :lol: I got all my belts changed, including the big TB, a brand new water pump (the first one since...

I guess the title says it all. I got a V6 B5.5 2001 model Passat sedan closing in on 120k kms fast. And want to know what I should expect for the belt / major service to cost. I got a quote of $1300 from VW dealer in Penrith and seemed fairly high. Is there a better / cheaper place to do...
