I've had a Passat about 3 years, and now it's time to do some work. Hoping to get some guidance on CV Joints. I've done the brakes, spark plugs, and all air filters,

Doing the timing belt job on my 2003 Passat 2.8L Bought all new parts to do it all. the timing kit came with the belt, both pulleys, tensioner, cam and crank seals, and water pump. Unfortunately the kit came with the composite style water pump. The old pump really feels pretty solid, no play...

As the title says, my ABS light and the ASR light came on the other day and stayed on. This has never happened before but I have a feeling that I may have dislodged something when I removed the bumper (to remove the headlights, stupid system but whatever). As far as bumper removal, I had to...

Hello all, I have a Passat Wagon 1.8t 2003 that I've had for 7 years.... at 170k. Always used synthetic religiously. Throughout the years I've had various issues, but I always really enjoyed the car. Last week I was driving down the highway when I suddenly had the oil light come on. I got...

When this happens, can the axle be damaged? Or just any other suspension component? I'm trying to assess the possibility that some other pricey part is broken and or is above my mechanical patience. I'm about to take a weekend and replace the one side upper/lower/tie rod etc...

Last night I was changing the rotors and pads on my front brakes. When I was pushing back the piston some brake fluid came out in the piston cavity. I cleaned it out and continued. The brakes work well now and no more leaking so far detected. Has the piston O-ring damaged during push back or...

I researched this problem here but could not get exact answer what it could be and how much it might cost me I have 1.8T 2001 Passat. So Today i drove with high RPM, usually I don't drive crazy but today I was speeding and with high RPM. So I drove about 15 miles and just before getting to...

what up guys. I just traded (and took a bath) my 2006 Touareg in on a 2014 Passat TSI SE....and LOVE IT it seems like some of the features that were luxury in my 2006 Treg and now standard on the Passat. Very nice. I will have to enable the mirror and window options through Vagcom. I love that...

I had a bunch of sensor gone bad. I had to switch all the temperature coolant sensors + fan switch and then when I did scan last week I got bad O2 sensor. I replaced the front one in engine bay went to the mechanic to reset it he did then both O2 sensors came up again. Assuming the one on the...

So, recently my 01 passat 1.8t AUG has been spewing oil like a white girl spewing on St Patrick's day. I thought my valve cover gasket just gave out until I took off the plastic cover and found that the chain tensioner had ground thru the valve cover itself! I took pics and will try to get them...

Hi guys. When the car was new, some power lines fell down onto the car and gave it a few scratches. And I believe some clear laquer was repaired. Later on, the clear cover laquer began to peel. It looks awful. And because of that I haven't been maintaing the car as well as I should. In fact, I...
