Had to replace the coolant flange (what a PITA) and to get to it, I had to move some vacuum lines out of the way. Needless to say, some didn't like it and I replaced some lines including a check valve under/close to the radiator overflow reservoir. I am not 100% sure about the direction of...

Girlfriend's car, symptom prior to dying: it would feel like it had low power going away from a stop sign, and the next stop sign it just died when pulling away. Will not start, sometimes starts and then dies with 1 second. Other stuff: low on oil (filling with oil did not solve problem)(no...

I think I may have made a rookie mistake. I changed my PCV and Vac lines this week and found a couple small issues (thanks to PW for great write ups and DIY's!). Here is the problem: The vac line between the intake manifold and the combi valve in my 1.8t AWM has a check valve. I replaced...

2002 Passat 1.8T AWM B5.5 158K. I recently replaced this check valve shown in the red box with the arrows marked on the valve pointing in the direction of the red arrow in the pic. Overtime I see some blowback oily residue around the area shown in green box in the second pic so I am wondering...

Hi, in the middle of replacing my cam seals, i noticed that the large diameter vacuum line which comes from the engine compartment bulkhead and the engine also goes to the brake boost pump between the ABS and power steering reservoir. The question is which way should the check valve next to...

So the car is a 1998 VW Passat with approx 222k miles on the body. All paint and panels are original to the car, including the bumpers. I've painted the rub strips with Plastidip as you can see. So I'm wondering exactly what direction I'm going to need to go with some rust spots that have...

Over the last 2 weeks Ive begun to here what sounds like a metal on metal clunk from my suspension. I even think I can feel it. It only happens when I'm pressing the gas down or stopping and it is usually just one clunk but recently the clunk has gotten worse up front where it may clunk 2 or 3...

There are differing opinions on installing slotted rotors. Should the slots on the outside of the rotor contact the pads first or vice versa? Is this the correct direction of installing the slotted rotor? This is the pic of the driver front side.

Hello all, Is there some one that can identify the valve direction to what I think is feeding the manifold? About a month ago I changed out the coolant flange on the rear of my 04 Passat (1.8L) "a fun job I must add":P in the coarse of moving a bunch of hoses and lines, one of the valves that...

Last week I replaced the fuel filter. I didn't pay attention to the old one when I took it out. When I was putting the new one I noticed there is an arrow on the filter. I placed the filter so the arrow point sot the tank. Now I realize that may be I should have done the reverse. Should the...

Guys, I replaced several of my pcv system check valves. Can anyone tell me what direction the valves should face with regards to the arrows marked on each valve. Specifically, the valve located above the airbox. Thanks Jeremiah 2000 passtat 1.8T FWD ATW

After a lot of work I'm finally looking at my timing belt and the cams are 180 deg off. Old belt is still on and looks good. Maybe I'm being way over cautious but I'm thinking that I should rotate the crankshaft in the running direction. Which direction would that be looking at the front of the...

http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/251815/ That sounds like a great prospect for SAAB. Really anxious to see what the real 9-2 would look like. Also cool to see VW wanting to pursue WRC. 2012 will be a great season if all pans out, especially since Subaru's pull out.
