The hose is about 7 inched long and mine has what looks like a broken right angle plastic fitting in it. I cannot...

    Hey guys. So my Passat (2008 2.0t fsi) broke down in the middle of a busy street about 2 to 3 weeks ago. Couldn't jump it. Replaced it with Auto-zone Duralast Gold battery (I know, not a good brand to begin with), car started and ran. Gave me problems on Sunday when I was driving home on the...

    Hi, I need to get the spare out of the well on my 2005 4Motion Wagon to drill some holes for a hitch. The plastic nut is not spinning off, it's just clicking as I turn it as if there was a nut below the spare that was turning in a housing but that's just a swag. Anyone have any info on a problem...

    Looking for information whether or not the rear bottom cushions fold down, which will allow for a flat even surface extending from the trunk when folding down the back cushions. I suspect they don't, since I couldn't find a latch. Illustration (98/B5/Sedan): imgur

    I am noticing my 02 V6 4mo auto has a noise when slowing down lately. When I am coming to a complete stop at around 5mph I can feel/hear a thump like something is shifting into a lower gear, or mechanically shifting down. I don't think it is the transmission, had it serviced about 10-15k ago...
