    I should first say that I'm working on a friend's Passat; I've never worked on a VW before and I don't have too much experience with auto repair in general. The vehicle is a 2002 Passat GLS 4Motion Wagon 6 Cylinder. I watched a number of Youtube tutorials before attempting the project that...

    Just changed the fuel filter in my 03. Love the banjo fittings for ease of removal. Hate the stupid plastic clamp with the blind, flat nut on the top where you cannot reach it when it breaks loose and spins when you try to loosen the bolt. Tip - if you take the banjo fittings off and get...

    Hi, I've got an '02 passat (diesel). After having it serviced (oil/ oil filter, air filter, pollen filter and fuel filter) on Sunday the mechanic took a couple of hours to get it started. He clamped off 1 of the pipes connected to the fuel filter in the end and we managed to start it. I drove...

    .......2003 B5.5 Passat 2003 V6....... Its running really rough. When I push on the gas it stutters and makes a popping noise a couple of times. Idles fine and doesnt stall. Replaced fuel filter already but did not fix the problem. Thought it could be the ignition coils or the spark plugs. If...

    The Haynes manual for my B5 VW (a 1999 Passat 1.8T, petrol engine code APU, 90k miles on the odometer) tells me that the fuel filter should be changed every 20k miles. I cannot locate the fuel filter - Haynes says that it is just forward of the gas tank and a diagram on the EKTA VW spare...
