B5.5 2.8. I changed all the pulleys and belts less than 2 years ago and it's only been driven like 10k miles or less. Could this be a bad bearing in the aux fan? All other tensioners and pulleys were changed except the alternator's but the sound is too high. It feels like it's right under the...

I have a Service in 5400 miles or 15 days info that comes on during car start? What would I have to do to clear it or what do you think it is referencing to? Mileage is currently at 116,496 miles. I'm not within the oil change schedule. TIA Mac Fairfield, CA :wrench:

Hi, I recently remmoved the dirty water and replaced it with red coolant. A couple days later, drops of coolant started to appear on the floor. I tried to search where it was coming from but it seemed to have stopped (?). Then a few days later it started to leak again, more this time. I can...

Hello all I'm a Newbe with a 2001 B5.5 Passat , so I hope all is correct in this one out of two post ! I believe I've read before about some drains that get clogged and then rain/car wash water will come in ! Thought wherever I read this said that there are 3 spots that clog , one was suppose to...

Twice this week the HIDs did not turn on. First day I thought I would have to drive home with just parking lights and fogs. 100 ft down the road they fired up.

Hi, I have a 2000 reg Passat B5 with Climatronic. I have foam coming out of the interior vents occasionally, and I believe it's caused by the foam disintegrating on the blend door. My aircon doesn't seem to work very well and I so this coupled with the foam leaves me to think its the blend...

Hello all! Long time no post.. Recently my 2000 1.8T Passat has been leaking coolant so fast I can see the reservoir tank level get lower right in front of me. Somewhere on the passenger's side is where the leak is coming from. I know I don't have a blown head gasket because although my coolant...
