Recently, due to oil pressure issues, I have pulled the oil pan, installed a new pump and cleaned the pickup tube out, replaced the windage tray and also replaced the timing chain tensioner. After all...

    I was working on my 2003 Passat GLS 1.8T today to replace the valve cover gasket. I broke one of the elbow pipe during putting everything back. The pipe is near the heat shield. I think it is connected to the combi. The rubber elbow is so hardened that when I lifted the metal pipe it just broke...

    I am thinking about buying a 2006 Passat as a project car. The steering wheel does not move, which is the micro switches in the lock module. However, when I put the key in the ignition and push it in, nothing happens. The radio does not work, the starter doesn't even click, and I can't use the...

    My 2004 1.8 Wagon is not starting all the time. Sometimes I try to start it and it cranks but does not fire, I stop and try it again and it starts. I checked the codes and it has P0343 showing as a Camshaft Position Sensor A-Bank 1 Circuit High Output. Should I just replace the sensor or could...

    Hi there. I recently bought an Volkswagen Passat 2006, Highline with the BiXenon options from factory, and when I bought the car, it had a defect xenon bulb on the passenger side, which turned out to be a bad ballast, but both D1S bulbs where replaced and one ballast. When one bulb was out, a...

    I'm looking for a mechanic or shop with experience replacing a timing belt on a V6 Passat. If anyone has a recommendation for a quality mechanic that I can trust in the Twin Cities, that would be great. I'm in Saint Paul so a mechanic on the Saint Paul side of the Metro would be a bonus. Has...

    Hello, I recently did some maintenance on my Passat, I've posted a few threads, and everything has gone well except for the TB as I suspect it may need to be realigned. It was disconnected and I did open the butterfly several times to clean it. It runs great; however, running it through gears...
