  1. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    I recently bought this car from a friend. And has been fixing it. It wasn't driven for 2 years. I drove it a few times and there was a grinding noise from nearly all the wheels. So today I took out both back tires and checked the brake pads and they have at least half life left. They are all...

    :lol: Yesterday I purchased a 2013 Nissan Maxima SV in Tuscan Red with black leather interior. It is a nearly-new CPO, with 23,060km (14,300 miles) and I saved a butt load of cash vs new;) I am keeping the 2004 Passat GLS Varient for my 2 boys to use, and if big or bulky needs to be moved...

  7. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    So I was going to have my tiptronic's fluid and filter replaced, but my local dealer recommended against it (the technician mentioned there were no fault codes and recommended against). I mentioned that my manual (2000 1.8T) recommends doing it every 60k miles. But, I just agreed with them...
  8. Volkswagen Passat B6 Discussion
    When I bought my Passat, I had no idea about all of the things I have learned about with my time on this forum. I have a 2006 Passat 2.0T FSI 6-speed auto. It has 70k miles. Given that information, what all issues should I be aware of and prepared for?I have taken great care of the vehicle and...
