    My son and I are finishing installing a replacement engine in our 2002 Passat 2.8L V6. It’s been a monumental task. For a shade tree mechanic, but I’m happy to say that we’re almost there. There are a few things that I’m puzzled on, however. I wondered if someone could shed some light on our...

    I checked the pump unplugged with 12 v and it runs fine. Relay 373 in the 13 relay box and its' fuse are fine. Is there a module for the pump somewhere that could be bad? if anyone out there could send me a wiring diagram of the pump and its control would be great.

    Gentlemen/Ladies, I have had this vehicle for 15 years, tried my best to maintain it as prescribed.

    Hi. I drive a 2002 VW Passat 1.8 L Turbo, 4 Cylinder. In December I took it to a cheap mechanic shop to have the oil changed, because I couldn't afford the $115 it costs at the independent VW mechanic. The shop told me they used full synthetic like they were supposed to. A month later, the...

    The dashboard temp gauge shows the engine heating to normal temp and staying at normal temp. When I turn the heat on it blows cold air. My question is: Do the codes mean that is actually the problem? Or, is it possible to have those codes but the flaps are actually working properly? I...

    Car turns over but won't start after running fine the day before, so I figured the 1st thing I'd check is that the fuel pump is getting power. Except I'm not seeing what I see in every YouTube video and other posts on this forum. There should be an access cover for it behind the passenger side...

    I want to drain the brake fluid reservoir and fill it with fresh fluid but the screen does not seem to come out and a small vent across from the cap seems to be where fluid should be added but not removed. Is there a trick to removing the screen under the cap without destroying the screen? If...

    IIRC, the hazard relay also controls the turn signal. And they have a tendency to die (I think I replace on same generation Audi/VW before). Before ordering Hazard relay: can someone quickly confirm?

    Hey everybody! So, I've spent my evening so far googling/forum searching the various problems my beloved wagon is having these days. I think there may be a correlation between some of them, but I don't have enough car sense to know where to start picking these things apart. Any suggestions or...
