    I have a 04 Glx fwd with manual and I been having problems with it misfiring. I replaced the coilpack, plugs and wires.

    With the deep freezes in the Toronto area lately, my car has been having misfires (and flashing CEL) unless I rev it a bit, until it's warm. I'm going to confirm that it's only in extreme cold within a couple days (when it warms up a bit) by clearing the codes and seeing if they come back. So a...

    So this is my new set of problems with my Passat. I have cylinder(s) misfiring. Codes came back as P0300: random multiple cylinders misfiring and P0303: cylinder 3 misfiring. Why is this happening? I just replaced the spark plugs a week and a half ago. Could it be the wires? Timing? I just...

    I have a 2003 Passat Wagon with an AWM 1.8T engine. This afternoon the car started rocking really hard so much so that it's not drivable. It is similar to what happens with the old washing machines when they have clothes all in one area and go out of balance and then boom boom boom on every...

    I have a 2002 Passat GLX and I have the check engine light flashing. I took it to a mechanic and they said a vaccuum leak. I changed the hose they said to change and it did nothing to fix it. I took the car to a VW dealership and they told me it was a camshaft "adjuster" and it would be $1500.00...
