Hello all, I've got an 05 Passat and one of our key FOB's just all of a sudden stopped working. We had just chalked it up to a dead battery so we just didn't use it for a long time. It still starts the car fine, it just doesn't work the locks with the buttons. So today I swapped the battery and...

Been looking around on the web for a model/ kit for the B5.5, found an assembled one. Anyone know of sites to get ones you can build yourself? Seems like it'd be a fun little project. This site has assembled B5.5/ B5s sedans & variants, kinda cool. Welly Die Casting Factory Limited...

i have 94 vr6 passat that i have had very few problems with but have no history on it. a couple weeks ago it lost most of its power andthe cat started glowing red so i replaced the cat and that didn't fix it. i then found the coil pack was broken and replaced it with a used one and it ran great...

Once upon a time I had money but no time. Now it's the other way around. Thanks to this forum I was able to identify a leaking motor mount ("Barney Blood" on the floor of my garage) and repair it (the 13mm stubby is a must --- really!). Yesterday I discovered that my (now former) repair shop...

Maf Nightmare and Turbo Oil Leak I've had my B5 1.8T for around a year now, always battled with the oil leakage causing my Maf sensor to fail all the time. So I managed to still drive my car and fix it every so often, driveable.. Just recently about a month or so ago, the car started to die...

just went out in dark for first time, in my 2.0 TDI, are the dipped beam lights supposed to be so crap ???

Well I guess it's official. No buyers. http://money.cnn.com/2009/12/18/autos/saab_closed/ Wonder if they'll still make jets?

I'm sure the regulars here are sick of hearing from me by this point but I've got a new clue that may get to the bottom of this. To review: excessive vibration in gear, reverse or drive at a stop under braking. Bonus symptom: high frequency vibration around 60mph under acceleration. New...

So while driving to work today I received, MUCH to my surprise the STOP(or die) as I like to call it, message. It alerted me to something of oil pressure. But when I drove home from work I couldn't for the life of me get the message to come back on to read it fully. Anyone know what that message...

:lol:

For a couple weeks I've started to notice a chirp/ticking when the car is cold and I accelerate. The chirp seem to increase with the amount of acceleration. After a mile or so it goes away and I don't seem to lose any power. Idles fine and throttling in idle doesn't produce sound. Now at...

so i installed new piaa ion h3 fogs. they are 55 watt and i know other members had success running these. i've swapped fog bulbs plenty of times and before i put the grills back on, i tested to make sure they were working... and they were. this morning, get up for work, raining real bad and...

I was cleaning our '99 Passat GLS 1.8t (110K miles). I started it up to drive into the garage and it started to run rough, then the check engine light came on. I opended the hood and could hear a clicking noise coming from what sounded like the turbo. Is it gone? I've been running the Neuspeed...

Seriously, 56K users will die, along with any other Lambo, and/or Ferrari lovers. A buddy of mine, Justin... Is over in Germany with the AirForce and spent a weekend at the tittay bars, and a day at the Nurbingring this past weekend. He posted all of the pictures over at www.drunkdubs.com and...

Here's the long waited underbody photos. Took these when I went back today to put a resonator in - it was too darn loud to bear without one. Here are the original rear view photos I've posted previously that I took from Import GT Show which took place at at Worcester, MA on...
