    Going to be a unique one! I have the opportunity to purchase potentially the cleanest 2010 Passat in the world off of a family member. It is one of those ones with the Mk6 interiors, but not the updated body style in 2011. This car is a 1 owner car, owned by my uncle who owns a VW shop. He is...

    Hello! I really need some help, I don’t know much about cars and I’m having some trouble with mine. It’s a VK Passat 2013, and for some reason the trunk won’t close. Whenever I press the lid down to close it, there is no clicking/locking sound. When I use my key fob (both of them) to open the...

    Good morning all, Well as the title states. After a tune up on my newly purchased 2005 1.8T, I have continued getting the Cylinder #2 misfires as well as other codes including the O2 sensor. I'm at work and don't have the exact CEL's on me right now. After a few days of research and getting some...

    Long story short... I have the AC drip nipple under the box connected with a rubber tube that is passing through fire-wall where the funnel would go. Is it okay to leave it like this? Or should I replace the funnel/grommet-drain flap system as OEM setup? Long story... Had water leaking into...

    I have a 2003 Passat Wagon 1.8T and the exhaust connection has rusted away near the flex pipe. The flex pipe itself does not appear to be broken but it's hard to tell because of the braiding. The downpipe (which the flexpipe is part of) was cut after the mount point and every few years meineke...

    Hey all just got a 02 2.8 from a friend and was told it needed an alternator no big deal to me but I can’t seem to get fuel prime? When I turn the key no prime but if I bump the starter a few times and then crank it it’ll run if I hold the gas but dies after 15 seconds I’m certain it’s not a...

    I have been having some issues that all seemed to match up with a bad PCV valve. My car has been idling VERY rough even to the extent of dying twice at stoplights last week. Friday I took it into a local mechanic and they "thought" the problem was due to a bad PCV valve and replaced it. I picked...

    Seeking comments from those who have installed either Westfalia or Bosal hitches. My vehicle: 2005, B5.5, TDI, Wagon, FWD. I’ve been doing some looking – would like to add a hitch, and like the invisibility of the “euro” hitches. (There are a number of less-expensive hitches which end up with...
  15. Volkswagen Passat TDI Discussion
    I have a 2007 Passat 103 Tdi and have been considering replacing it but the wife and I like it so much that it is likely we will replace it with another Passat. I would consider keeping it though if I could solve an issue that has been intermittent for the past three years which I have detailed...

    Instrument cluster light came on and info saying right back up light out. Called up Auto Zone to get LED replacements for both. Installed them, they both work. However, now the diagnostic system is telling me BOTH lights are out when they clearly work. Is it some sort of computer reprogramming...

    Hi guys, I bought a 2005 b5.5 v6 with 75k miles on the clock and from the start smelt the oil burning at idle when the fan is on. Last Christmas was last when it was serviced and the garage said they recorded a rocket cover gasket leak then (this service was missing from the service book!) Now...

    I have a 2004 Passat V6 2.8 wagon. I live in NJ. Posted a little bit ago regarding a possible bad driver side Cat after getting below threshold engine codes (P0431). I definitely feel like the Cat is at least partially bad given the O2 sensor readings and because there's a distinctive bit of...
  20. Volkswagen Passat B6 Discussion
    Hello, I just bought a 09 Passat 2.0T Komfort. I don't know anything about cars. I just checked and saw that the coolant is a little low and googled to find that I should only use G12? I'm not even sure what's in there. I bought it from a small dealership. Is there anything I can do besides...
