    Engine died. Turns over & sounds like timing belt is gone. Belt is ok though. Ideas? Long story short, for those that didn't read my last post on July 23, our 2001 Passat died, and we thought it was related to the oil pressure, or lack of...

    I have a 2002 Passat Wagon (2.8 l) I got from my non-mechanically inclined sister essentially for free. However, she has no documentation or knowledge of whether the timing belt has been changed (she bought the car used). My question to the community is whether white paint markings on the cam...

    Hello Everyone, Does anyone knows if the valves on this car bend when timing belt rips while driving? Thank you.

    Would someone that knows definitively answer this for me? I'm at 58K and if there's a timing belt that needs serviced I need to start thinking about it. Thank you in advance.

    1999 Passat 1.8T AEB engine. Just did a timing belt change, which I have done before with no problems afterward. This time however, when I start the car the fan starts up and the AC won't shut off. Is this due to the sensor in the lower left front of the radiator that may be bad? I just took...

    Today I started the timing belt job on our 02 V6 Passat that we picked up last spring. I know it's had it changed previously but I'm not sure when, so doing it to be on the safe side. Here's my problem, I'm at the point where you set the crank at TDC and attach the cam locking bar. Well, one...

    Hi guys. Back in May 2017, my lovely wife was driving the 2003 Passat 1.8T wagon, and the engine seized. We had it towed to a shop, and they said the valves hit the pistons, most likely. So, I had it towed back to my house, and I began the discovery process to see what failed. The car had...

    I'm planning my work to do both TB and compressor jobs. Seeing as I understand nose comes off for both. Still reading up on data base and have a Bentley manual on way. This post is to ask if there are any special considerations I should have in mind to do these jobs jointly? I'm thinking...

    Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help me out with my 05 passat's "STOP oil pressure" issue. So about two weeks ago I was driving on the highway (between 50&65mph) I got the "STOP" warning. I pulled over, had the car towed to a mechanic. The mechanic told me the oil pump would need to be...

    Hi Everyone I bought this car for my son a few months back with a turbo that had a bad waste gate. I have replaced the turbo, water pump, timing belt pulleys, rubbers etc. The difference after the maintenance/repairs was noticeable but since it was for my son to drive I thought that the lack of...

    C'mon people. Whats my chances of valve damage if the timing belt broke while coasting to a stop? how much of the valve enters the piston chamber? If valve got hit, would it be enough to bend shaft and possibly cylinder head or just a tip and twist the seat a bit?

    My son was driving his 2004 Passat 1.8T (195,000 miles). He was stopped at a light. Light turned green and when he was accelerating, he said the car lacked power, then died. He tried to start it but it wouldn't start. Turn the key and it makes a weird whirring noise. The serpentine belt rotates...
