After months of searching I finally found the 'one'. Trying multiple times with ECS and coming up empty handed I finally broke down and called the stealership. To my utter amazement, they had them in stock and were giving them away at only $50 :icon_eek: Early models with round brake reservoir...

hi folks, Curious if anyone has had any luck with a decent dash cover for these B5 models that fits well and helps cool down that stove top dash in these things ? Appreciate any tips ! thanks!!!

Was disappointed to see that there's some smoking behind the driver's side valve cover once again at high revs. It's been about 2 years and 10k miles put on the car since I did the associated valve cover gaskets, cct seals etc. Also, changed the 2 breather hoses on top. Is there something I...

My car is a 2006 Passat 2.0T sedan. In trying to change the engine air filter, I follow the steps in the Bentley manual but run into a problem removing the air guide from the cover assembly. So that's: undo two clips at intake hose; disconnect wiring connector; lift cover off four corner...

Owner of a 2012 SE. Posted a thread a while back about the lower portion of my driver's seat (V-Tex) developing some spider cracking. I did some minor repair work with Magic Mender and it actually turned out pretty good, but I was able to find the lower half of a driver's seat (cushion, with...

Hi All, I'm looking for replacement parts for my Luggage compartment cover in my 99 Wagon. The pieces on either end (Pictured Below) have broken so that the cover does not retract. There are studs on the insides of the parts that broke off and they are too broken to fix properly. If you have...

What are these impressions for?

Anyone here that can tell me what the part nr. or from where i can buy these(ebay)? For both sides.

Hello everyone. The under-body cover from the passenger side is now hanging from one side. I believe driving in a shaky icy road might have loosen the bolts holding it. Anybody have any idea how much it would cost, and if it's something i can do myself or leave it to the dealer. I live in...

They're gonna be painting my building and I'll need to protect my car from paint and debris. When they finish, I can lose the cover but in the meantime, I need something that fits and won't set me back and arm and a leg. Grateful for any recommendations. Thx, Rob!

Might seem like a stupid question, but i bought a replacement jack cover, as mine fell off, but I dont know how to install the new one.

I've been looking at this today, is it necessary to remove the engine mount on the right side to get the timing chain cover off? While i have it off is it a big deal to also replace the chain tensioner? 2009 Passat Wagon, 2.0T Thanks! Bart

I just replaced thermostat, but I think that thermostat housing cover may have a leak. I could not see how to separate the plastic housing cover from the hose at plastic connector joint. What VAG trick have they implemented here? I didn't want to break the thing as I didn't have a replacement...

Greetings fellow Passat wrenchers, this would be my first thread and I'm appreciative for your help and insight. I know this is a longer post, but it is very thinking and planning intensive, and so maybe interesting to you as well. Yesterday was my 1 year anniversary with my 2004 Passat v6 30V...

anyone know of a deeper/taller dust cover with 75mm or 3in diameter? thanks

Hey guys, I got in touch with my contact overseas and he imported the last of the covers from his VW dealership in his country, this option was available for the B5 Passats overseas but could be configured to work in our North American spec cars, This a great start to anybody who wants to...

2.0t fsi engine. Noticed oil leaking from my valve cover so I got in a new gasket, and bought a pcv delete while I was at it. Broke the very first stud that is supposed to be tightened and half of the stud is now in the head block. Small amount of white smoke is coming from valve cover, and I...
