    I'm going to need a new set of winter tires and found a good deal on some Bridgestone Blizzaks. The rub is that in winter I run the stock 205/55-R16s on my 02 GLX 4motion, and these being sold are 215/55-R16. Besides the miniscule speedometer difference (~2km/h at highway speeds) is there any...

    I’m currently trying to rebuild my rear suspension on my Passat b5.5 4motion, one of the differences between the 4 Motion and the fwd version is that on the 4motion the coil spring sits around the shock, while on fwd it sits besides it. Now i was able to find the correct top mount bracket, but i...

    Hey, I am a new member and recently purchased a b5.5 2003 Passat 4motion wagon. Overall the underneath doesn’t seem too rusty, however where the control arms are connected it’s extremely bad on both sides! I’m not sure what part this is or where to start; it looks like the housing that connects...

    Hi guys. I'm looking to pick your brains a bit. Recently purchased a passat v6 4motion auto/tip. Problem is it was fitted with a fwd auto transmission. Currently the transmission is conflicting with the car's cpu. Vehicle quick shifts through the first 3 gears then its as if it's slipping in...

    Hello Fellow Passat Masochists, I have a 2005 B5.5 1.8t 4Motion Wagon, it's an awesome car when on the road but currently it has a rear subframe/rear axle assembly that is snapped on both sides just behind the front mounts. It was a more or less instant failure as it started to squeek...

    i just bought it as my first car, just had it 2 weeks and its been a nightmare so far. i got it off of facebook for 2k, my brother checked it and it was fine when he drove it. then later that afternoon the coolant started to overflow and it leaked out of the hole in the reservoir. All of it...

    Well guys I'm at my wits end with this no fuel problem. I checked fuse 28 good, Read some where here if you get a blink on your test light at 28 when cranking that means everything upstream good.

    05 Passat 1.8t 5AT 4Motion wagon 127k. I've never owned an automatic, so I'm not sure if this behavior is normal. When I have the car in TIP mode in 4th gear and hit the gas, the RPMs jump by about 200, then the car accelerates normally. In 5th gear the RPMs jump by about 100 and then the car...
