  1. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    I know the actual procedure for it, just wondering how people manage to do it without getting arrested or in an accident. I live in SE connecticut and the only place I can really drive 60 mph is on I95 which is almost always crowded. Better to make sure no one is behind you and brake hard, or...

    I have a rattle (buzz) in my passenger front door, and have tried a couple things to fix it. First, took off the door panel and made sure everything was in place. Check. Second, lined the door panel with the soft part of velcro to stop what I assumed was clicking against the metal. Not that...

    Recently I got my Passat towed by a Flat Bed tow truck. The guy had hooks attached to the winch to get the car up on the flat bed. So he hooked both hooks (can't use one) to the lower control arms ( I believe, it's the lower part of the arms). So I'm thinking: The arms are designed to take...

  6. B5 Garage
    I have an '01 4motion V6 wagon, 90K miles. Starting a month ago, when the car is driven cold in the mornings, there is a loud squeaking noise for the first few miles which sounds like bed springs bouncing; it sounds like it's coming from under/outside the car, on the right side. The squeaking...

    Installed new rotors/pads on Saturday. Was going to take it out to bed the brakes but it was raining hard so I passed. Sunday it was raining too and I had lots of places to go - I've put ~150 miles on everything (very easy driving, no quick stops) but still haven't had a chance to bed them...
