    I know this isn't related to my Passat specifically, but I just encountered some information that I wanted to pass onto everyone else that browses through the forum. Somewhere along the line recently, I downloaded something (probably a wiring diagram or info regarding the 17544 lean MIL...

    I heard a nasty bumping and thumping coming from the rear end and wish I didn't wait so long to check it out. If your rear differential mounts are bad you can wreck your driveshaft. that was a 1400 dollar mistake. Those mounts cost me 400 also. at least it's easy to replace. :-\

  6. Dealerships and Service
    I am posting this in an attempt to hopefully save someone from becoming victim to this company. This type of post may be controversial as I understand that someone could post something about a company just because of a slight dissatisfaction. This is NOT the case here. I only wish someone had...

    My recent research has found that while many VW dealers sell VW Extended Service Contracts/Warranties, none are VW Factory backed meaning other VW dealers may not honor them. They are "third party" contracts that require serious study before purchasing. VW is unusual in not providing Factory...

    So as some 2.0T owners may not know, the battery for the 3.6L Passat is actually in the trunk (on the driver's side behind a locking panel) to both make room for the 3.6L engine and to help with weight distribution. Because of this, there is a battery cable running the length of the car from the...

    The lack of Volkswagen robot action in Transformers 2 didn't stop a Beijing mall from trying to latch on to the Transformer fever sweeping China, building a home-made VW Passat-a-bot to publicize their recently-opened movie theater. Gallery below. The Chinese are as fascinated with Transformers...
