Hello, Well so far I have been able to tackle all the issues my 2001 Passat 2.8 GLX has thrown at me like having to replace the Variable Valve Solenoids. My latest issue that has cropped up is this annoying jerking or bucking sensation which is most prevalent at 50 to 70 kms/hr speed. It...

Like the title said, please help me id where is the oil coming from. I noticed some wet oil around the end of the black pipe that connects to the intercooler. So I opened it up and sure enough some oil came down, not a lot about 10 paper towel worth of clean up. I believe this could be the oil...

I changed my oil for the first time using Valvoline max life 5w30.I used a driveworxs oil filter the previous owner had given me in a box of spares.The next day I notic3d a slight noise at cold start up. I did some research, etc and read it was not a bad thing as a lot of the v6 may do it. It...

Today it was 6F out and I was driving around. The engine got up to temp just fine. After about 15 of highway driving I started to hear bubbling coming from the dash and a slight bit of white coming from the exhaust. The engine temp stayed right at 190F and I was still getting gobs of heat...

Hello fellow Passat owners, I am hoping you can help me figure out what is causing a creaking sound from the underside of my 2.5 SE Passat. It's a 2012 with 33k on the clock. As I drive, regardless of vehicle speed, I hear the creaking noise from what I think is the front end as I go over...

I am totally exhausted I might sell car to junk cars. The transmission went in limp mode after alternator failed. It doesn't have noise or mechanical failure. Only thing is it does not switch gears. Is in 4th gear all the time. Reverse works fine. What can be probable cause. Starting from...

Pulled out my failed module to be repaired on Wednesday. Cleared the codes I was getting as well (have been for the last year, consistently on a single drive cycle P0422, 0431/21). A couple hundred miles later, and no CEL, I scanned the codes and was surprised to see it had zero incomplete...

I've searched the forums, but haven't found anything exactly like what's happening to my beloved 2001 B5 wagon. Symptoms: 1) "driver side door open" warning light and bell when the door is closed and car starts. The light and ringing go off continuously at first and then sporadically. It isn't...

I have a 2004 Passat with the 1.8 turbo AWM. What is this? Looks like a one way valve to me and I don't believe it should be coming apart. I've got codes P1136, P0171 and P0441.

Hello Passatsters! It's been about a month or so. I love the ride this car offers, and for the price, this is a used car that you cannot find an better value in if your a driver enthusiast like I am. I do some SCCA ice racing with this car, it s a DD and I also do some track days with other...

This CEL has been bothering me for a week now. I suspect the MAF sensor. Not sure if its bad or just keeps getting dirty because every time I clean it with carb cleaner and reset the CEL I drive 2-3 days (200 miles) with no light and then it comes back. My MAF sensor is located right next to my...

1999 B5, V6, Tip; 115k miles. The car has rebuilt heads and the engine is running very well, but I get the below codes. Where is the multifunction switch? Is there a way to test the multifunction switch? Other suggestions? All of the gear indicators are blacked out. If the codes are...

I've tried searching for threads with my issue but I didn't find anything quite similar to the problem I'm experiencing. So, I was having problems with my 1999 Passat 1.8T shutting off when idle (at stop lights, slow turns), this made me come to the conclusion that I needed to clean my MAF...
