breaking

I have spent a long time on many threads trying to get to the bottom of my cars issue. 2001 1.8T FWD AWM. Whenever i take a long drive and am going 55 mph for a while then have to slow for a stop sign it shutters at 1500 rpm or 35 mph approximately. it isnt as bad if i brake at a shorter...

Hey everyone, I recently acquired an 02 Passat GLX 2.8L 4motion Wagon. I'm not new to VW I had an 03 1.8T GTI from 2005-2014, it was too hard to put a car seat in the car after my son was born in July 14 so I decided to sell it. I've been a member with vwvortex for close to 10 years.

So long and short is the VW I am acquiring had the timing belt break. Doesnt bother me to work on it as it is a toy. I know the 1.8T is a interference engine. I was told by many people that they just get bent valves, is this true? I was told by a older man who works on euro's and he told me that...

Hi, Car seems fine, I don't notice anything obvious (perhaps a little shaky in idle when in gear, but I read this is pretty common for this car). Car gets much winter use (salt?) But, I have been through 2 flex pipes in the last 3 years, last one is now gone after a year (Walker Exhaust...

I am a member of a Passat buy/trade/sell group on FB and there are alot of owners from the UK there. does anyone know what the term "breaking" means? I am wanting to say its our version of parting out, but I am not quite for sure.

Hello everybody I have a 2003 vw passat v6 automatic. I noticed yesterday when I change gears from park to drive or reverse or reverse to drive and vice versa the transmission takes like 2-3 seconds to engage, and when it does it jerks a little bit in reverse but the jerk is more noticeable in...

So, on the way home from work yesterday i went around a corner and took it up to 4k rpms...next thing I hear is a loud clank and my battery icon comes on. Pull over to the side to find my radiator fan has come off the pulley. Ironically I pulled up into a NAPA auto parts store and was talking...

Has anyone here been able to remove the 'L' shaped crankcase breather tube on their AWM motors without destroying the part in the process. I was wondering how feasible it would be to remove this part for inspection, and be able to put it back on if it's rviceable. Looking at servicing/repairing...

Hi, as titled. I tried push in, turn. But the tab wasn't lose on either way. Then I try pry it with hand and it break. How you guy take it out without breaking? thanks!

All of a sudden, steering wheel controls dont work anymore. Tried changing fuse #5 several times but still didnt work. Keeps breaking everytime I put in a new one. Getting frustrating. Ive seen the threads on what may cause it, but how do I actually fix this without taking it in? I tried...

Hi Guys This problem seems to be all over the internet but no-one has found an absolute resolve in terms of what the sound is - Ihave tried the google search at the bottonm to search the forum but probably not using the right search phrases. Well the problem is when I break I get a flappy...

When I brake very hard there is a loud heavy sounding bang coming from the front somewhere. Then I get back on the gas hard, in a low gear, the bang happens again. What ever it is returning to its original position. Cant see any fluid from engine mounts (No excessive movement on stick shift. &...
