  1. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    I did a pretty exhaustive search on the forum, and have even cruised around the net and ebay etc. trying to find these. Please read on... So I bought this car about a month ago. So far it's been a good car, but I'm having trouble replacing the wiper blades it came with. They're date-stamped...

    OK, so I had a meeting last Sunday morning and I promised I would go grocery shopping after, so I took the SUV. I come home to find that my dad had wanted to help me out and change my oil which I mean, gotta love Dad. Only problem was, he ****** my oil filter with a wrench or pair of pliers and...

    I will be adding a second battery with a relay isolator. I'd like to know of the locations of lines that are active only when the engine is on (not just accessory). It seems the norm is to put the relay isolator in the engine bay, so I'm guessing I'll have to tap into something in the fuse box...

    Just picked up a very nice 2002 Passat 1.8T w/Tiptronic (B5.5! - yeah, I'm already getting to know my car :)) yesterday to use as a work/road trip car. This is my second VW -- the first was a '95 Jetta I bought new that had a penchant for little things falling apart/malfunctioning constantly...

    I recently became the owner of a V6 2002 Passat. The car was formally owned by my cousins sister, who had the dreaded Oil Cooler failure. She parked it at my cousins business 3 yrs ago until she could save up the 2k for the repair. My cousin finally told me if I tow it, I can have it. I'm...

    Does anyone have recommendations? He wants "the brightest bulbs available". He had his lenses cleaned by walmart, who apparently does a good job for $30, but that didn't improve things much. I know very little about this area, but curious what you guys think. Is there an LED set he can...

    Hey, I somehow lost track of my old user account. So I signed up for a new one. I have owned my Passat since 2006. I bought it with 32k miles and it now has 140k more. I have always loved the car as it checks all the boxes for me.

    Hi, my pain in the butt passat is not doing very well. I put a new salvage motor in it after the kids stuck old sludgy oil into the old one. The "new motor was blowing smoke and dripping oil out the turbo exhaust side. So I put a turbo on it from my old engine since it was new I thought maybe...

    I've seen several youtube videos but seem to concentrate on the lock but not sure if my error is mechanical or electrical. I have no alarms going off or interior lights not working. I can try to open the front passenger door from inside but the know won't stay up when I release the door handle...

    Hi all, my 02 Passat is sending P0441 codes pretty regularly. I've already replaced the purge valve and the codes persist. I'm suspecting the charcoal canister is clogged. I thought that you could access the canister from the cargo area, but that's not the case - the circular cover there gives...

    So, I have an old 2002 Passat Wagon, which has been a rock-steady workhorse. I never was satisfied with the lights, and I finally decided to get new headlights, as the lenses were yellow, and the height adjustment was broken and the lights just illuminated the ground in front of the car. I...

    I have a 2002 VW Passat that has the code 313. Which comes up as a fresh air intake sensor. Does anyone know where this is located? I have found a few post that say inside by the cabin filter and you tube video shows it in the engine compartment. Please help!

    Okay noticed today my automatic is leaking. Not from the pan or other seals but seems to be coming from the electrical plug area. I am on the road for work, so can't get a real good look but is there a gasket or seal that could be bad around that plug? Is it under pressure if so, or could I...

The other day I was driving downhill and this time I wanted to use tiptronic so as to not use brakes to control speed. By the way, my previous car was manual, this...
