I am new to the site and would like some help with a couple of what might seem like silly questions. Question 1 I have a 2014 VW Passat 1.6 diesel Bluemotion estate and don't know if it is a B4 B5 B6 and so on. Question 2 Can any one tell me what fuses control the interior lights and the...

Hey all! Need to flush my heater core, barely any heat at idle. I have most everything to get it done, but I still don't know a couple of things, -Which port is inlet/outlet? I think passenger is outlet... Please correct me if I'm wrong -Car has orange coolant as of right now, what would I...

No start, no crank This is odd... I noticed the 98B5 Pass had no turn/hazard signals, yet the relay seemed to be working fine and clicking. When I flick the lever to test the signals both dash turn/haz lights briefly come on but turn off immediately. I ignored the blinker issue and left to top...

After a top end rebuild on a 1.8t 2003, as I was filling up the car with water, I got a steady stream leak, leaks when off and when running at same rate. The leak looks to be coming from behind the power steering pump and leaking down the oil pan. I cannot see the leak looking down under or...

Hey all. I previously had a B5.5 W8 wagon, and have had 3 Audi's and a Touareg since. Considering a 2010 Passat Wagon for my next daily/work car, but before I make it an official option, I was hoping a member could give me a couple quick measurements of the hatch? Couldn't seem to find what I...

I"m changing both of the post cat O2 sensors on my 2005 B5.5 ATQ V6. 1: there are four O2 sensors but I only see 3 plugs on the passenger side when I open the hood. Shouldn't I see 4 plugs along the cowl? 2: The bank one sensor plug in the engine compartment is a different shape than the bank...

Lets just say one night at a buddy's bonfire we had a little bit of liquid encouragement. Reverse donuts sounded like a good idea, well after about 3 spins around on slick wet dirt, heard a loud and nasty pop amongst other viscious noises, and a free rev. Reverse was absolutely grenaded. So, I...

First, I searched the forum and didn't quite find my prob. Washer fluid level screamed at me. So of course, I put more in. Topped it off. Still screaming at me!! Bad sensor? Frozen sensor (though it's been over 40 more often than not over the past week)? Is there a fuse somewhere that could need...

Here's hoping....

2004 GLX 5sp FWD For those of you who have installed PSS9's on all 4 corners, how does the metal threaded adjustment piece fit on the lower spring perch? Does this the metal piece sit metal to metal on the spring perch? And what the hell is the bolt in the center for? I assume it's to secure the...

Scanned for codes 3 times over the past couple of months and these keep coming up after I clear faults. They come up randomly at different speeds (Highway speeds/idling, etc.). 16519 16730 17930 I've read up on each individually but I'm wondering if one of these codes are causing the other two...

So I have been working to get rid of all the codes that keep popping up in my wife's 02 Passat Wagon with 4motion and a 2.8l v6. I have the following left: Wednesday,08,July,2015,21:37:14:23786 VCDS Version: Release 14.10.2 (x64) Ross-Tech: Home Address 01: Engine Labels...

I'm settling into the B5.5 I just picked up so as a result clearing space w/ all the B5 parts I have left laying around. These were all from a 98 AEB 5spd. Some have been sitting for a little bit, but all used parts were working when I pulled them off my car. Here is what I have(all parts are...

We have been enjoying this car for a couple of months now and I'm trying to look into fixing some of the issues that we've come up with. Looking forward to learning more!

Hello all, planning on cleaning throttlebody on my 02 B5.5. Just had a couple questions: Should I definitely put a new gasket on after taking it off? I've seen where moving the little butterfly valve sets off CEL? Should I avoid doing this? Also, is CEL most likely going to come on due to the O2...
