    I am at a stage of replacing pads (shoes) on 1.8T's cam chain tensioner (which is off the engine). However, I just could not figure out how to take old ones off, not to mention putting on new ones. Even I could just break them into pieces and remove old ones, how do I put on new ones onto the...

    Having talked to the local oil change places about the next oil change on the 2012 Passat 2.5, I came away with the conclusion that the only way to make sure of getting the correct synthetic to VW502 spec. was to buy it and provide together with the correct filter to the oil change guys. So, I...

    I've searched all over and unless I missed something completely, this hasn't been brought up. The other day when I was driving my 2000 2.8 Passat, the temperature gauge shot up to red and the dash started to warn me to stop. I pulled over and turned the car off. I checked the coolant and it was...

    I am lost - last night wife informed me that the Passat sounded like a tractor so she didn't go anywhere in it. I started it up and sure enough it rattled and shook. I checked the cam timing and found the 1,2,3 cam 2 teeth off. I think this was caused by me moving the car on Sunday and not...

    '03 1.8t, manual, with chip and air filter. So here's the background on what happened. Four days ago, I gave it some gas to get on the highway. The MIL flashed for 5-10 seconds, stayed solid for 20, then disappeared. I barely noticed anything while the light came on, maybe a very slight...

    I installed the EFK and replaced the radiator. It was raining and I had to go to work so I didn't hook it up. I know thats bad but its 32 degrees and work is 3 miles away so I figured it would be fine. I was planning on wiring it up tomorrow. I filled it up with G12 coolant mixed with distilled...

    I just got a pair of 50W halogen back up bulbs. When I looked at the inside panel of the tail light there are three bulbs; a clear one on the top, a clear one on the bottom, and an amber bulb inbetween. The amber bulb is definately the turn signal, but which of the other two is the reverse...
