I made a mess when I tried to replace the electric auxiliary cooling fan behind the radiator on the passenger side. I loosened the bolt which holds the upper the transmission metal hose into the radiator in order to remove the fan. I plugged the hose back in but did not screw back in the bolt...

Hey all, So Ive trawled through the forums to find a previous post with this specific issue and have come up empty. So recently my water pump blew and my engine fried, luckily I was able to pick up a replacement low KM engine and had it installed. Now only a couple of months after I started...

Last summer I did a full transmission pan drop, filter and fluid change on our '05 Passat, 1.8t FWD tip and currently 153k miles on the clock. I used the Blauparts kit and the Ravenol fluid that was provided with that. I am looking to do a drain and fill soon, just to have as much new fluid in...

I can't seem to find the dipstick, although I think the pan has a drain plug. Any information/ advice would be greatly appreciated. :wrench::crazy:

OK guys, so I did it. I dropped the pan and wiped the magnets with a lint free cloth. Was it worth it? I want you to answer that. So I bought the car (2004 passat 1.8L wagon) just a few months ago for $1600, it had been in a slight accident (she hit the curb), the control arm was replaced and it...

So I'm just trying to get some opinions on this: My 2003 V6 4motion has not seen many miles (just approaching 63k) which means many consumable items on my car are as old as the day they came out of the factory. The car has never been left standing for a long period of time, the vast majority of...

So I'm going to change the atf fluid in my tiptronic this weekend. I am waiting for my filter and gasket to show up from ECS but should be here tomorrow (12/26). I was wondering should I drain what's in there now currently and fill up with maxlife and run it for a day or two then drain it again...

Double triple checking advice from a shop visit today. They told me that the fill hole on the passenger side of the car was an ATF fill hole and so that kind of worried me. It seems to be a 70/30 split on the forums with 70% saying replace the fluid and/or filter gradually. The transmission...

Transmission and/or Clutch issues at ATF 5 speeds of WV Passat 1.9TDI 2004 Hi everyone, I'm the happy owner of a WV Passat 1.9 TDI from 2004 of 136 bhp with close to 100k mileages (genuine). I only changed the cam belt and the rear break pads - expected weariness for this mileage and car age...

I am in the middle of changing ATF and filter and the last Torx bits is stripped. This is definitely a bummer. Any advise as what I can do to get it removed? Thanks.

I'm about to change the ATF fluid but have run into few questions 1) What is the gasket/washer of the drain plug made of? The stealership is asking $18 for the plug and washer together and doesn't sell the washer alone. Can I buy the washer from part stores and use if safely? What is the...

I've been reading lot of posts about ATF and they are divided into two main school of thoughts: 1) Never change ATF as it's good for the life of the car; 2) Change ATF every 60-80 K miles. I personally don't buy the idea that ATF should never been changed. The extreme operating transmission...

Hey guys, my Passat is leaking oil from the trans but I cant tell if its from the trans pan or if its gear oil. Is their a sufficient way to tell? Since of course, it doesn't have a trans dipstick. If I drove it around the neighborhood maybe a symptom to look for? Its a 2000 Passat 1.8t, any...

I am changing the ATF for my 2003 1.8T Auto. Last weekend I put the car on four jack stands and drained all transmission oil. I didn't measure how much it came out since some of the oil end up on the floor from the check/fill valve due to the car was not leveled. Removed the pan. Then I order...
