I have a automatic 2000 Volkswagen passat wagon GLS V6 with 130,784 I had the chain start making a really bad scratching noise I went and found...

Hey guys, I’m slowly getting my B5.5 1.8T back to life. I replaced the camshaft seals a few weeks ago and I’m currently working on replacing the crankshaft seal. The car hasn’t been turned on yet. Now, two things: 1 - I’m suffering to take the 17-year old crank seal off of the engine. So tips...

Hi Everyone, 2003, 1.8t, AWM, 124.000 miles. I got my first CEL last week having driven 11.000 miles since I bought the car. I did a complete TB replacement as soon as I bought the car. I replaced the cam chain adjuster, which I bought from FCP. 16395 - Bank 1: Camshaft A (Intake)...

<edit> Actually think this is called the Crank position sensor or Engine Speed Sensor) I am having a heck of a time finding any resources or information for this engine. In particular, I have all the classic symptoms of a bad CPS including the codes for intermittent failure 16706/P0322. I...

I have replaced my water pump and timing belt once before with no problem. I am not an experienced mechanic, but I am learning. I got myself into a bind this time and I really need some help. Recently, I needed to replace the water pump and had to remove my timing belt. I used the camshaft...

Vickie is being a real bitch. :banghead: She's a 2001 VW Passat 1.8t AUG manuel who is throwing out codes p0012 and p0010. This isn't the first time. Last June I began randomly losing power as I drove... it progressively got worse (one a week, to daily) until finally the car would not start at...

The car got a P0341 code. It's a 2003 Passat W8. "Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Range / Performance Bank 1 or Single Sensor" It's the first code since I've owned the car, at 95,000 miles. I've driven the car 300 miles with the light on and no problems. I searched all of the W8 forums and...

Hi folks, So I was replacing all the rear cam seals and when I removed the camshaft position sensor cap out of the way to get to the seal behind it, I was left with a small magnetized piece left inside. Fished it out and had to read up online to discover where it went. Looked in the cap/cover...

Hello, I been having low power problems with my 03 awm b5.5. It's very unresponsive with the throttle. I think the root of the problem it's electrical. I check the camshaft position connector voltages. Voltage in between pin 1 and pin 3 is 5V as specified. However the middle pin has 10.5V...

I'm a new owner of a used 2006 passat. Has about 145K miles. Just replaced the camshaft and fuel pump. Right now car runs fine but mechanic insists that I should get rid of it immediately due to metal shavings in covers found during repair. He said it's not a matter of if but when it will...

I cannot find it selling separately. It seems like a camshaft timing chain tensioner (at least for V6) can only be purchased as a whole assembly. I only found the pads separately on ebay. Or if the pad is worn out then it is the time to replace the whole thing? . Are those pads different for...

Unfortuntaely I'm coming here due to car issues in our 2014 passat 1.8 tsi. The check engine light came on and its running rough. I took it to autozone, and they said it was the camshaft position sensor. Anyone have any tutorials on how to swap that out? It looks like it was easy on older...

I just rounded 400 000km on my B5 TDi. And wouldn´t you know it. The knocking from the hydraulic lifters started allmost at once. I guess the cam and the lifters are gone. But, the oil is full of small metal-flakes. Should I just bite the apple and do a full engine change? Everything else is...

Can anybody help me with my w8? i have changed my converter and timing chains and i know 100% the chains are on the marks! the car drives and start great! and i know both my fans are faulty!

Hi there I have a passat B5.5 2.0 petrol I have had it for 2 years and it's always had an idle problem with engine management light on which was for the Camshaft sensor. I had this changed and cleared but problem still exists and now it's even worse since I had to change the maf sensor any...

ok, so my second post in the noob tube is a question. I just bought an 04 Passat 1.8 T, and about 500 miles after I got it, it started idling a little rough, but runs just fine once moving. the obd told gave me the codes of cylinder misfire and camshaft position sensor. I replaced the camshaft...

I had a p0343 code so i replaced it and got a p0341 and replaced it again with no difference could it be something else(i cant tell you about driving the car because it was a gift for me to fix and i cant drive it because of this and a few other things)

2001 V6: In the course of timing belt replacement on my 2001 2.8L, with the car in service position, old timing belt removed, I began to replace the cam and valve seals on the passenger side. The instruction video (https://youtu.be/SDjZYC29rm8) and Bentley recommended removing the shafts and...

Hello, So my car is complete from doing a head R&R. I just got a CEL a few days ago and I scanned it. The camshaft position sensor code came up. I opened up the Timing Belt cover and removed the CPS. funny thing: The bolt that holds the metal spinner with its washer wasn't bolted into the...
