Hey folks, So the B5.5 2.8 4-Motion was throwing codes and I could smell some exhaust and hear a bit of a leak on acceleration. I suspected the flex so I went by the independent exhaaust shop I've used on occasion and they pinpointed some leaks to one of the flex pipes and the sleeve after the...

This is posted in the for sale section, but I haven't had any takers or even nibbles at this point. Considering the maintenance that has already been done, I think it is a very fair price, but I want a sanity check. I started by asking $2,800 and have dropped the price to $2,500. What are...

my 2000 passat has reached a point where the repairs don't make financial sense so i'm looking for another passat in my price range. i've never bought from a used car dealer before, and he gave me a price of $3400 including tax and title. i tried researching on the various car value sites like...

I recently brought my car in for NYS inspection and on the overview check-up, the place found that I must have hit something and the transmission oil pan is dented and potentially leaking. They also found my passenger side front axle boot has torn and needs to be replaced since the oil has all...

Going to be driving about 460 miles round trip in my car next weekend. Is my 1.8T going to get me there and back ok? I love the car and daily drive it, but its never been on decent road trip before. It has 148k on it right now.

If you are ever travelling to Canada, especially Nova Scotia, Hillcrest VW in Halifax is by far the best VW dealer I have ever dealt with. They are very friendly, knowledgeable and more than willing to help. They will repair what's needed and not string you along for extra dealership money. If...

So I went to change my brakes but the mechanic said that all my rotors need to be replaced as well. On top of that he said that my back calipers were ceased therefore they need to e replaced as well. I went to pick up my car and was expecting to pay under $500 but he gives me a bill for $800++...

Hey guys, I'm definitely making to Vag Fair this year, but I haven't seen much talk about in the Events/ Gatherings forum... Yea, it's five weeks or so away, but I was just trying to see how many people were planning on going this year. I'm from South Jersey and I go to school in York, so I'll...

Hello all - new to the forum altho I've lurked for a while to glean info for a while now. I took my 2005 VW Passat, 1.8T GLS sedan, 83k miles, to a local garage that is good with Vdubs, according to my cousin. I had the 2 front axles replaced, and I know there were other things that needed to...

I have an 04 Passat 1.8T and took it into the shop (not a VW dealer, but a VW shop)the other day because I was hearing a clicking sound during acceleration while turning. They told me the CV boots were toast and I needed to replace my axle. Quoted me about $850 for parts and labor. Im not...

Just got the car back from Meineke..I just paid $470 for 2 flex pipes. Is this a fair price? Basic aftermarket price seems to be $100 each What do you think?

I used a Midas shop on North Western Ave. near Howard Ave. I'm charged $10 for an oil change when I bring my own synthetic oil and oil filter. This is fair for someone who doesn't have a garage to lift the car and the tools to do the change myself. On smaller part repairs, I bring my own...
