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...

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...

Hi

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...
