    My first post here, Hi. my name is Fredj and I have a question about crankshaft pulley. How do you remove the vibration damper from a 1.8 TSI engine? Which direction do you turn the bolt to remove it? Clockwise OR counterclockwise? Thanks in Advance

    OK, i'll probably regret asking this... When cold, the car will sometimes rattle on startup. It subsides after 1-2 seconds and the car runs great and gets good gas mileage etc. Starting when warm is fine, with no rattle at all. I'm aware of the 'Cold start Chain rattle'...

    Made by German 'Bilstein', this OE damper is also a factory part, not Febi (which can be made in china for Bilstein). $47 + ship.

    I bought my '04 Passat wagon last year, and one of the items needing repair was the damper for the glovebox door. The door would just flop open and slap closed, not the way things were meant by the engineers in Wolfsburg. ;) I previously had a look in through the passenger side of the dash and...

    I received a Meyle control arm kit today, and it came with the solid metal outer tie rod ends. From what I understand, the all-metal versions give more precise steering control, but you feel a little more road vibrations as a trade-off. I'm primarily concerned with a smooth ride, so I'm...

    This is PN 8D0 863 823 L (per PN molded into pan), PN 8D0 863 821 S (per PN on invoice dated 04/12/12) in perfect condition with all fasteners plus extras. This came off my '99 1.8T AEB engine when I installed a Thor Skid plate. Along with the belly pan is a baggie with extra fasteners, washers...

    I am looking to buy a timing belt tensioner damper for my 2000 1.8T and I can only find NTN ones. there's got to be others. the back story: my damper failed shortly after I replaced it. it was from blauparts. some reported that the replacement NTN also failed. what brand did you use and where...

    The last timing belt change I did at 70k, I changed the tensioner damper. Are you guys changing them everytime? Is it worth it?

    I need to replace a timing tensioner damper on 02 v6 atq. Does anyone know where there is a diy? I read that it requires special tools/ techniques. My Haynes doesn't touch on the subject. Searched but didn't find anything on the forum.

    I am putting the TB swap parts back on now. I am noticing the plunger on the hydraulic tensioner is hitting the tensioner roller a little to one side. Does this look OK? http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac166/goneguy/pin.jpg

    I am into the TB swap now (crap this is a lot of work). I am to the part where I need to "remove tension from the timing belt by slowly compressing the hydraulic damper" Can someone fill me in on how I am supposed to do this? Thanks

    well I was working on my timing and have my valve cover off the pin broke off of the damper so I am thinking of going ahead and replace everything while I am in there any thoughts

    Replaced my timing belt on my 30V 10k miles ago with the Blaupart kit, which at that time did not include a tensioner damper. At the time, I replaced the water pump, both tensioner pulleys, belts and thermostat. I see that they now recommend replacing it on "higher mileage" vehicles and have a...

    Any ideas where I can source one of these to replace mine? Thanks, Matt

    Where is the Crankshaft Pulley/Vibration Damper? The place that i think it is is too big to fit the 24mm socket im supposed to use on it. The car is a 99 V6.

    Hi, It's time for my third timing belt (first since I have owned the car) I picked up a damper from VW (058 109 279) and was just looking for a how to guide. I found this one: http://www.passatworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=167704 and they are removing the damper that looks like my new...

    I think that I am about to pull the trigger on a 2.0 manual Value Edition as my daily driver (replace an 02 Focus ZTS), and I may consider trying to run the car in SCCA SOLO2 in the GS class--I can upgrade to any 16x7 wheel, but the offset can not vary from stock by more than +/-.25". What...

    Can anyone with the eibach spirng+damper confirm the ride quality is similar to that from the oe setup? I am thinking about upgrading but cannot afford to have a stiffer ride because of wife and kids... Thank you everyone. :)

    Hey all, Long time, no visit! Oh, how I long for the old days of logging on CB5 ten times a day, posting and reading lots of stuff...but the real world responsibilities just keep piling up. I'm engaged, set to get hitched in October. :D I'm also selling used cars at a supercenter, etc, etc...

    After gathering info from Eibach Dampers kits and the stock bumps lengths I have come to the conclusion that there is an issue. If you buy part# 8557.140 98-2001 1.8t it will direct you to cut the bumpstop 30mm on the bottom. Most likely this will be on all the Passat kits. If you buy the...
