  1. Volkswagen Passat B6 Discussion
    I was driving when I noticed the car was not as responsive and lost power. I was able to drive another 5 minutes before my car could barely get moving in first gear and flooring it. It stalled when I was driving, at the same time a loud air burst noise was made. When attempted to start again it...

    Two issues have been plaguing me for nearly a year now regarding my four cylinder Passat. I have had intermittent misfires in each cylinder, but not enough misfires to trigger a code. I have also had to turn the key two or three times from cold whenever I needed to start the car. These problems...

    All, I started to replace my fuel filter on my '01 sedan and found the nut is spinning on the backside of the plastic bracket. I can't get a wrench on it and the bracket is attached to fuel tank. Does anyone know what nut is up there so that I will know what to deal with? Also, the bracket...

    So out of pure curiosity, I decided to see how low I could get my fuel tank today. I ran it until the fuel gauge red near zero and also my mileage left panel got to zero, and I still drove it another 10 miles. When I fueled up it went to 13.8 gallons. I have read everywhere that it should be...

    So I picked up a W8 for crazy cheap and it needs a fuel pump but all anyone seems to sell is the entire assembly. Can you not swap out just the pump? ECS tuning has a ton of pump options but I asked them about using them in the stock fuel setup and they said they are for custom fueling...

    What is the fuse # for that circuit?
  8. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    OK, I understand that with 60 PSI / 4 bars pressure, the fuel pressure regulator has to be a tight fit inside its can, but this is ridiculous. Any suggestions for non-destructively getting a new FPR (or even just the old one) into the containment can? This is a 1996 AFC 12-valve 2.8 engine, but...

    Does anyone know what size the ID is for the fuel line is in the last picture of the DIY instructions in thread? It was really cold this morning and I got a fuel leak at that short two inch flexible fuel line that connects to the filter. I went out and jacked up the car and looked and I can see...

    Well I'm at the final stage before trying to start the beast again. That would be 2003 passat 2.8l v6. Not getting any fuel . I think maybe it's the relay. I don't hear any clicking. Can anyone tell me location of the relay possibly a number for it. Next would be fuel pump located in the trunk. Thx

    Car turns over but won't start after running fine the day before, so I figured the 1st thing I'd check is that the fuel pump is getting power. Except I'm not seeing what I see in every YouTube video and other posts on this forum. There should be an access cover for it behind the passenger side...

    <p class="p1">A clean engine is a more efficient engine (and also a more powerful one), so a fuel injector cleaning is an important part of maintaining your car. While you can always visit a mechanic to get this service done, this is actually one of a few maintenance items that are pretty...

    I have Passat wagon 1.8T 4-motion with manual transmission (2004). I'm averaging 24.5 miles per gallon city /hwy. On the open hwy through the mtn I got about 27 mpg. Wondering if I Chip it with maybe APR I'll increase the gas mileage. Thanks

    I had the intake of my BPY engine (carbon build up cleaning, timing belt, cam chain/tensioner, vac pump seals, etc). 3 injectors came out (cyl 1-3), on stayed in head. After installing intake, gas is gushing out (and engine not starting) from under the intake (not exactly located). Also...

    For the last couple weeks I've been having P0301 cylinder 1 misfire alongside P1237 manufacture defined which was something to do with fuel injector 1. So from those I knew it was the fuel injector. When I came to a stop the engine would start misfiring at cyl 1, but would start firing normally...

    Hi everyone, My car is developing the habit of hesitating to start the first time turning the key. How can I measure fuel pressure on my 2003 1.8t?

    I've got a 2014 AllTrack 170bhp TDI. I do a mix of short (often from cold) and longer (~40 mile) motorway journeys. I use an app to track my fuel consumption brim-to-brim and over the last couple of years I've averaged 35mpg, which seems a bit low. Anyone else care to comment?
