  1. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    Greetings everyone, Last week I was driving home from work, got off the freeway, and was sitting in traffic at a red light. The engine idle dipped to a near stall for just a moment, and then recovered. Car drove normally for a bit... And then had a pretty hard hesitation while going around a...
  2. Volkswagen Passat TDI Discussion
    I have a 2014 Volkswagen Passat TDI with roughly 40,000 kms on it. Today I went to go put fuel in it, at the same pump I do all the time. The fuel wouldn't go in the tank like it was air locked or something was plugging the fill tube. I was wondering if it could have been because a vent line...

    I read manual and couldn't find vent hole in hose/heater connection. I couldn't find that connection. I drained coolant from sensor hole and vented system by disconnecting big hose above alternator. So draining/flushing were not a problem (thermostat removed) I am worried about filling system...

    My girlfriend has Hyundai Elantra, When she fills the car up to full (pump shuts itself off). When we start the car, the engine starts up and then stutters, to shut itself down. I have to throw it into drive to keep it going. But if we don't fill it up all the way, we never have the problem...

    08 Passat komfort When filling up my car it seems I can never get it full full.. Does this have some kind of venting? I fill it up to what seem like to be as full as i can get it, (filled up to the top of the neck) but once I get started it is barely on full. is this normal?

    We have a 2006 Passat, 2.0t with 93,863 miles. Car runs great otherwise but when we fuel the car when it is cooler out, we are in Phoenix AZ so when I say cooler the temps would be between 35 and 60 degrees, and go to start the car it will take anywhere from 3 to 5 cranking cycles before the car...

    [2004 1.8T FWD/5M AWM] After replacing my fuel pump this winter I've had an intermittent problem with the "Check Fuel Cap" light and then a PO441 EVAP leak CEL. I had replaced the gas cap when I got the car about 3 years ago. About a month ago I filled my gas tank (until the pump shut off), and...

  9. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    After searching the forums for a possible solution, I came up with one that said the canister purge valve could be the cause. So I took it out( it sits right on the airbox) and I blew through it and sure enough, air did pass through, so I knew the valve was sticking open, however I had never had...

    Hello, I decided to pull the roof rails for a rail-less look and would like some input on capping/filling the rail holes. My biggest fear is if i weld them up the roof will warp? Anyone done this and is there a write-up? (I couldn't find anything in the info base) Thanks in advance! 2000 B5...

    My G12 is empty and I have to wait until tomorrow for the dealer to open to get more coolant. I just drove it home from work (and drove it a little hard) and when i got home it had filled back up with a boiling sounding liquid and was steaming off. It went back in after i turned the engine off...

    My 06 2.0T has been in and out of the shop because after I fill up it takes 3-4tries to start then runs rough for about 20 seconds. They replaced the fuel pressure sensor, E85(?) valve, gas cap, & charcoal canister all on separate trips and I still have the same issue. No codes come up. I'm not...

    I was wondering how to properly fill a spot (i.e. what to use and the steps) that is starting to rust on a friends car by his wheel well. And then proper painting etc. Thanks for the help - greatly appreciated

    So, Ive searched and if there has been a problem like this, I couldnt find it. Started over the summer I guess but I thought it was a problem with my gas station. The gas pump stopped way shy of full. I knew it was about a quarter tank off so I topped off a little and figured it was their...

    So I washed the car the other day, and when I was drying it off i popped the hood to dry it and I noticed about an inch of water on the bottom of the firewall. The part where the battery and brake booster, etc are. I cleaned it out and tried to see if maybe there was a drain that was plugged...

    I have a 2003 1.8T. The brake fluid is 2/3 between min and max. If I take the cap off the resevoir the brake fluid is almost to the top of the opening. Filling right to the brim makes no difference ie. the level doesn't come up to the max mark. If I open the round drain plug the fluid is right...

    I got my car a year ago w/ a couple of dings and scratches that I never got around to fixing. I checked a local body shop the other day and they quoted me $2300 to fix everything. I'm going to stop at Dent Doctor tomorrow to see what they can do in terms of removing some of the smaller dents...

    Guys this is my Dad's car. He has been smelling gas in the garage, only after filling his car with fuel. It doesn't smell after its down 1/8 tank. Any suggestions? He's going to bring it into VW as its still under the 100K powertrain warranty. I was thinking Secondary Air Injection Pump -...
