Hi, my pain in the butt passat is not doing very well. I put a new salvage motor in it after the kids stuck old sludgy oil into the old one. The "new motor was blowing smoke and dripping oil out the turbo exhaust side. So I put a turbo on it from my old engine since it was new I thought maybe...

Ok so I've recently - today , had the panels off from under the car to do the coolant switch and the thermostat and housing as it was not working and when checked it had been installed wrong !!!!!! well new ones are all in as well as new oil dipstick tube grrrrrrrrr. whilst mooching under the...

I have recently used these forums to replace my head gasket and turbocharger, however I have found another leak after reassembling the engine and I cannot place my finger on it. I am hoping someone can just give me an idea where to look. I spotted an oil leak dripping from right above the...

Ok I will start from the beginning last Tuesday on my to work the low coolant light came on I knew I had a small leak so I pulled over and filled it up. I didn't make it the other 10 miles to work before it was over heating I limped it to work. The next day I towed it home found the rear flange...

Hello I have a fairly substantial Coolant Leak on my 2004 1.8T VW Passat The coolant seems to be dripping down from the side of the oil pan closest to the driver side It doesn't appear to be coming from the the oil cooler or anywhere above the oil cooler... but Just can't tell where it is...

Hi there I've recently purchased a 2009 B6 Passat variant, it has the CBBB 2.0TDI engine. I took the undershield away recently to drain the oil and I noticed a few drips from this part I suspect it has dripped onto this part from above but as this is my first vw tdi car I was wondering if...

Great! Just what I need. Yes, it rains constantly here in Seattle, and yesterday I had water dripping down from the overhead console - this is where the switches are located for the courtesy lights and to open the sunroof. Are there drains that might be plugged? I can't see any wear or...

Hello all, I have a 2002 V6 4Mo Wagon with 123,000 miles. I have the tiptronic trans. There's an oily, yellow/clear liquid that drips out of the center of the car (almost the dead center, but a little forward of the divide between the front and rear doors). Every night it makes a 1" x 5" puddle...

I have a 2004 VW Passat with an ATQ engine with the 4Motion and 108,500 miles on the vehicle. Recently I noticed that when my car is warming up I smell this burning oil in the cabin of the car, when changing the spark plug wires, the area where the spark plugs meets the wires is filled with...

Hi. On the last ride, I noticed that on 2-3 right hand turns water was dripping on my right leg (ie where the accelerator pedal is). Did anyone encounter such a thing? I think it's not oil or brake fluid (that's what I was worried of at first because it's just below the brake booster fluid)...

Any clue what this fluid is? I know its not oil, I don't think its G12 since its oily. power steering is brown. Possibly ATF I pray not. I just had the timing belt replaced and the valve cover gaskets replaced. I read about the fluid int he motor mounts. Any guesses?

I have coolant dripping from the oil pan and the low level light has come on now. I had the car up on ramps and could see where the coolant was coming from...any one else experience this? Is it coming from the water pump? BTW, the car is a V6, it does not over heat, no coolant in the oil...

Car 1.8t tip Driving around the other day and noticed I heard a sound like water sloshing around in the dashboard. Switched off the Climatronic and the sound was gone. Switched back on and rounded a corner and heard it even more. Today I noticed the front passenger's mat had a wet spot. When...

Today my temp light went on, and there was a small puddle of coolant on my garage floor. The owner's manual says that any time the coolant level in the overflow reservoir is below MIN, the temp light will go on. I put about a cup of filtered water in the reservoir and presto, the light went...

Interesting problem...I have noticed for a few months now that the carpet in the back rear behind the drivers side seems to be consistently damp. I moved the floor mat wondering if the grooves in the monster mats are holding water. Therefore, maybe leaking onto the carpet. Not the case...

Hey Guys, I have not had any freakin luck with the 2001 Passat 1.8t (old body style)with 49000 miles on it. Picked it up and 2 miles down the road the Engine Workshop and Emissions Workshop lights came on, followed by the EPS and Check Engine Light. It sat in the shop for 4 days waiting for a...

Just got home after an hour long drive and discovered there is coolant dripping from the edge of belly pan. Touched it and confirmed with the smell of coolant but surprisingly its not hot at all, its COLD!! The coolant reserve tank is half a tank less. There seems to be no cracks on the hoses...
