    This is longer then I would like, but I wanted to cover all info right off the bat. My wife's 2004 auto box FWD wagon with AWM (1.8T) engine refused to start on her a couple of days ago, after parking it in a friends driveway for a few hours. When I got there, the symptoms were: No fire when...

    The other day out of the blue my car died while driving... Would start back up then sputter and die. I ended up towing it home and the next morning went out and started it and it ran fine. I drove it around a little to see if it would die again and it didn't so I parked it and shut it off. I...

    My wagon has recently gotten hard to start after I get gas. I've never run the car out of gas, but this time I ran it until the fuel light came on, I filled it up, put the cap on tight but then I have to crank it for a bit longer than normal until it starts. Does anyone have any ideas? It's...

    Fueling problems - Someone has messed with the tank (Now with pics) Hi all.. I really need a bit of help with this one to get my head around it. First of all let me say what car I have its a 2003 Passat Estate B5.5 1.9 PD130 TDi 4Motion. It ran out of fuel the other day but still had 1/8 of...

    having just read that the maximum duty cycle of the injectors in an AEB setup is too small for real turbo performance makes me want to ask a few questions: has anyone swapped in a transversely mounted 1.8t from one of the newer passats/audis? is it even possible? i gather the b5.5 chassis is...

    I filled up today and the car started and ran normally until I put it in neutral going down hill on the drive home, when it just died. No sputtering, misfiring, or limping, just as if I had shut the key off. Since I was moving I started it again quickly to get brakes/steering back, this happened...

    1999 Passat 1.8T Yesterday I had my sunroof open and was smelling gas fumes really bad. Now today I had trouble getting the car started after I filled up with gas. It finally started, ran really rough for a couple of minutes and then seemed fine. It started fine tonight after I got off work...

    Hi gents, I'm a newbie here I got 2000 passat 1.8 turbo. I have cel, can't pass vehicle inspection test. Innova 3100 that I purchased at walmart gives me p0441-long term fuel trim add. Fuel system too lean. p1136-secondary air injection system incorrect flow detected. CEL comes on after...

    i've fueled the car for the second time now since i bought it (both times with about 1/2 tank left) and i've noticed that the car has a problem starting for the first time. the second one and thereafter go without any problems. idk if it's common or a problem i should check into?

    My car learned a new trick at some point over the last few weeks. I have a 2003 Passat 1.8T and have noticed that while filling my car at the gas station the pump auto shut off trips after just getting 1 or 2 gallons into an empty tank. I could figure it out until the last time I stopped to get...

    well, recently I've been able to boost quite high with my 01.5 AWM and I just don't feel that I'm getting the power I should with as much boost as I'm getting. Also I just want to see what is going on. So I want to log some measuring blocks to look and see if i'm getting enough air throughout...

    Everytime I pull into the gas station to fill up my Passat(99 B5 V6 Tip), i'll pull up, and begin fueling up and it will stop every gallon or so. Sometimes it'll go 2 gallons, but never more. If I pull the nozzle out it sucks air in really fast. Anyone know whats happening here? Thanks Cotter

    so this is what im thinking, hopefully my math works...dutch and ONE8T, you guys have any comments? so im pretty sure i can use TT180 injectors, here's the data: density of gas: 0.73g/cc ATW stock injector: bosch: 0280155825 audi: 06B 133 551B flow g/min: 176.7 flow cc/min...

    I'm curious about how some programs require different injectors with different FP's. My question is there a uniform way to to tell how much fuel will be delivered with a certain cc injector at a certain pressure. Like are 380 at 5B close to 440 at 4B close to 550 at 3B. I know that analogy...

    I'm pretty much a dummy when it comes to the fuel system. I have a problem with my car that every time I fill up the gas tank, it'll fuel for a second, then it'll build too much pressure and stop. I have to keep pulling back to release the pressure, then fuel, then release, it get's...

    First, the guy who fills up my car at the station was talking about a little button that you press to get more gas in the tank. I told him not to do that, because I don't know if it's just crazy talk from all of the fumes he huffs all day long, if it would harm the car, or if it's just another...
