  1. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    Last night I drove my 4Motion Passat in snow. Some places had little bit high snow between 2 tracks. Today I am finding out bellypan has swelled as there is hard snow/Ice between engine oil pan and the belly pan. Got the pan out and cleared snow from pan and under the engine area. That belly...

    I went to my dealer to buy bellypan fasteners a couple of weeks ago (only to find a whole set for $10 on ECS Tuning a week later :banghead: ), and the exploded diagram the parts guy printed out for me showed a second bellypan that covers the area of the underbody between the steering rack and...

    For those who destroyed their original bellypan and replaced with the W8, did you end up buying new liners also? ie, did the holes in the liners stay intact or did they get messed up and you needed new liners as a result? haven't checked mine yet but I'm wondering what the chances are...

    Ok so i installed the W8 Belly pan and it fits nearly perfect. It has 4 extra vents on it and is a little bit shorter in the front, but fits really nicely. I am responding to the post i had in Classifieds and i dont have pictures, b/c my camera is no where to be found, I only cost me 64...

    I destroyed my belly pan awhile ago on my B5 1.8t. I called the parts department at the local VW stealership to order a new W8 belly pan, and the guy asked me for the VIN number, because apparently there is an early and a late model for the belly pan. Obviously I don't have a W8 VIN so I told...

    After five and a half years my skid plate decided it didn't want to be part of my car anymore and made the leap. I now have half a bellypan attached to my car. Rest in peace my friend, you served me well. :angel:

    just changed the oil in my 03v6. everything went easy, but WHAT IS UP with the bellypan. I mean what is this dam thing for. :crazy: a pain is the a$$ if you ask me! I couldn't even put the platic nuts back on and even broke one of them (the ones on the side, by the wheels), that s how pissed I...

    2003 1.8T w/ 27,000 miles on it. Had the oil changed by my long-time mechanic two weeks ago, just prior to leaving for an extended vacation. 2 days later, I noticed the bellypan was dragging, which I would normally blame on whomever had last worked on that area of the car. However, given the...

    Guys, I noticed last time I had this bold sticking down that is in the front of the belley pan. I went to the dealer yesterday and he even looked at it and said he did not have anything to fit it? Well I have found a 1/4 inch nut but its a course thread and I need a regular. He said it was not...

    Has anyone besides jp1.8T put a W8 B5.5 Bellypan on a B5? It almost sounds too good to be true! Direct fit, better quality and only $45.

    My new 04.5 has a slightly different bellypan design than my 2000 did. There are these small edge pieces on the left and right side of the bellypan which attach to the bottom front screw of the fenderwell liner, and the back quarter turn fasteners. I don't know if these are on all B5.5's, but if...

    OK, so my bellypan (attached with zip-ties) got knocked out of position by a carwash last week, and I had to wait until yesterday to fix it (crappy snowy weather). In the last week, I've noticed a severe drop in mpg, which was fixed immediately by proper bellypan placement. I got 22mpg HWY on...
