Hello all. I'm a new member as well as a new VW owner. I have a 2000 Passat 2.8 GLX just rolled over 74,000 miles, and it has a pretty strong burnt oil smell in the cabin when recirculating air is not on. Oil level is fine, no oil drips in the driveway and I can not find the cause. Valve covers...

Here we go fellow wrenchers, I have a 99 Passat V6 auto that I am having issues with. I wasnt getting any power to the fuel pump nor spark to the plugs. I checked the fuses all good, I pulled the fuel pump relay and put different one in that made the pump run constatnly with the key on. So I...

As the title says, I've got an intermittent start problem in my V6 GLS sedan. It's a 5-spd manual transmission. I have tried to search for posts and got a lot of somewhat similar ones but nothing quite like mine. So a couple of weeks ago my car wouldn't start up-this was the first time it's...

I have a 2000 Passat 2.8 v6 and I want to put some new exhaust on it to give it a much better sound than the stock sound which is pretty much no sound. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what to do? I have never done any exhaust work yet so I just dont know where to start.

Found a 1999 Passat with the 2.8 VR6 engine for $700. The only thing wrong was that the engine "missed". Thought this would be simple. Changed out the wires/plugs, coil pack and cam sensors.... still missing. In fact, after all that was changed, I get even MORE codes. Anyone have an idea?? I am...
