    Had a P0441 code on my 2004 Passat V6. Replaced the purge valve and verified the valve was operating correctly. Can hear it “tapping” away. Any ideas aside from looking into replacing the vapor canister?

    I have a problem with my Passat 2.8V6 2004. 1,5 year ago engine belt is renewed together with rollers, waterpump, cam tensioners and chains. After a year I had a loose timing belt, no damage on the engine. The tensioner on bank 2 is renewed, is was leaking oil. Now i have the problem that after...

    Hi everybody first post but have been reading a lot here. So as the title says I'm getting this code after putting in a brand new oem replacement turbo. I broke the T off of the n75 valve when I was talking the old turbo out so I got a new uro parts brand n75 to put in it. After I got it all...

    Hi I have a 2005 1.8T GLS Wagon that just stopped running yesterday. My wife and I are moving about 2 hours away and were driving to a storage unit. I had noticed it started having trouble accelerating about half an hour before we arrived, and when I put it in park at the storage unit the...

    I have a 2000 Passat GLS (ATW) with 167k miles. When I first try to start the vehicle it cranks but does not even attempt to turn over as if it's getting no fire or fuel. Sometimes if I wait for a minute it will start. Most of the time I'll have to wait for about an hour and then it will start...

    Hello gents, Glad this forum exists and has been very helpful many times, THANK YOU :) My question would be more general, to gather opinions if I`m on the right track. I bought a B5.5 Variant, 1.8T which had a blown turbo (now changed with a JP Group one, not the OE), later I discovered a...

    Hello, Been a while since I've been here. Posting this here as required, but it may actually belong elsewhere. I've got a 2008 Passat that I'm looking to install a hitch and bike rack on. I've looked at bike racks that mount on trunk lids, but really don't like them. So, I'm thinking of...

    Hi I'm in desperate need of guidance. I bought a 2012 vw Passat about 5 months ago with 60k miles and since put on 10,000 miles as I drive a lot. Love the car but a week ago it started spewing power steering fluid everywhere around the reservoir and we concluded that until we could see where it...

    Hi Everyone: I recently had my car's tires rotated (tires are pretty new) at Goodyear tires and after that my car started pulling severely to the right while driving. I went back there to have it checked out and they said that I should get an alignment, so I did. My car still pulls to the right...

    So my friend has been back and forth with this mechanic (not a VW specialist) like five times, because the problem never seems completely fixed. I don't know much about it, and I'm totally unfamiliar with the 1.8T, other than it also has an accessory belt (unlike my V6). So after all this...

    Hi guys Car is a 1999 B5 Sedan 1.8T (built '98 if that makes a difference) In the past month, I've noticed I have to hit the unlock button a few times on my fob for the car to unlock (thought this was just the fob battery dying). A couple days ago I go to unlock the car, and my fob is dead. I...

    HELP! I am getting a MIL and 17927 code "Camshaft Adjustment, Bank 1 Malfunction - Sporadic" after replacing both cam chain tensioners on my 2003 V6 (I had a broken pad on one side, and given the mileage I decided to replace them both). To do this job, I removed both cams on both sides, along...

    After considerable thought, I decided to keep my TDI and have VW do their "fix" instead of taking the buyback. After all, I love my 2012 Passat and couldn't find anything I liked better--not even a newer Passat. At least not for what I'm willing to pay;) Problem is, between December 8, 2017...

    I've been working for the last few weeks on updating my GW and CCM so I can retrofit the Discover Media Headunit among other things. nycdub2 has provided me with great levels of help to get everything properly completed to this point. Everything is working as before when I had the original GW...

    My wife broke the wiper switch off at the stalk on our 2003 Passat 1.8t. Evidently she was very angry that it was raining. So I went and got a new switch from the junkyard (since its the "multi function" switch with the switch on the side its $250 new or $10 from the junk yard), got the airbag...

    Always a puzzle with these cars. I'm driving along, everything was normal up to this point. Hit the left hand turn signal, and it starts blinking at about twice the normal rate - very noticeable. So, when we get to the parking lot, I jump out and confirm that the left turn signal lights (all...

Rotated engine several times by hand after work was performed and all lined up. Started right up but has a slight "ticking" noise at idle. Did not go beyond idle for...
