  1. Volkswagen Passat B7 Discussion
    Hey guys! I have a VW Passat 2014. Out of no where my seat would not move backwards. I can move it forward, up and down. All the buttons work except for the backwards button.. when I press it, it makes a noise and nothing. I tried looking in the track and shining a light. I don’t see anything...

    Advice please and I apologize if this has been asked before. I'm in the south where temps stayed above 100 for weeks in June-Aug and both the battery in my Passat and my daughter's battery in her Equinox died on the same day due to the overwhelming heat index. (I know, what are the chances...

    Hi. I have so many questions. 2006 (b6 I think?) 2.0t that has lots of (hopefully) minor issues. Seems like it gets a few new issues to add to the list with each new idiot I let work on it. (I'm poor,.I can't afford to bring it in to a shop lol) 2 steps forward 1...or 4 back So I decided I'd...

    Hi guys, I’m sourcing parts for a manual swap on my 1.8t. The only parts I’m missing now are the transmission (which I do have a few lined up already) and the clutch line (master to slave cylinder) which is hard to source unless you have a parts car. The two options I can think of for the...

    Hiya! New to the forum, first time post. Getting clues it’s time to swap out the chain & guides on my 2007 4Motion Wagon. Assuming, since it’s Volkswagen, there are a ton of specialty tools and processes involved besides just XZN and making sure stuff doesn’t fall out. Have already viewed a few...

    This is a DIY for replacing the parking brake cables for :b55: Passat front wheel drive. If you have to replace one you might as well replace the other. I'm writing this because I have 3 manuals and none of them had all the right directions for doing it (Haynes, Audi A4/B5 Brake Repair and an...

    Hi Everyone, I bought my used 2004 Passat over a year ago and I love it! My GF had a 2012 Passat for a long time and I unfortunately totaled it. That being said, I have heard Passat World and visit occasionally but I feel now's the time to join the community to learn more about my beloved...

The two links below...

    New to posting in this forum, but it has been awesome for info regarding my 2002 1.8 Passat Wagon. Just got finished dropping the oil pan due to low oil pressure warning. Could not have done it without this forum!

    I think I have isolated the knocking noise I experience occasionally on hard bumps down to the subframe. Now I am looking for a DIY on their replacement. I might simply be missing it but I didn't see one when I searched. My real question is, do you need to drop the entire subframe to replace...

    Hi all, I am an owner of a VW Passat 2007 2.0. I have found that I have a sunroof leaks and I would like to fix it. The leaks appears to be right around where my driver passenger sun visors are connected. I want to fix this issue myself and I have already removed the visors and the handles...

    Anyone have experience DIY'ing the front struts on a the NMS? Would like to know if it's practical to do before I go in to get them checked (I have scalloping on the rear tires, looked and saw my rear shocks leaked... I know I can do that job DIY). Any help/advice would be welcome.

    I am looking for help on the serpentine belt tensioner. I want to put on a new belt and don't know whether I should go ahead and buy a new tensioner assembly or just buy the rolller. Does anybody know the process for how to remove the tensioner? I can easily remove the belt and the bolt that...

    I have an 09 Passat with 108K miles and have never updated the cam chain tensioner to replace the original one that apparently is designed to fail. I ordered a kit from Deutsche Auto Parts that includes the tensioner, lower cover, rtv, and the tool to hold the timing at TDC. There is one DIY...

    OK guys, so I did it. I dropped the pan and wiped the magnets with a lint free cloth. Was it worth it? I want you to answer that. So I bought the car (2004 passat 1.8L wagon) just a few months ago for $1600, it had been in a slight accident (she hit the curb), the control arm was replaced and it...

    I have a 2003 Passat 1.8T manual, AWM. Slight coolant leak that appears to be from the coolant temperature flange. I know the parts are ~ $40 from the dealership (it's a plastic housing), and the dealer is quoting ~ $350 for the job. That sounds like a good price to me. However, I'm...

    So, on my way home from work the other day my cruse control would not function and between shifts the RPMs would hang or remain higher than normal. After some diagnostics (which I charged myself $99) I found a little white button laying on the carpet. And I thought I think I know where that came...
