Please put on some protective headgear before you read this, so that you don't hurt yourself from all the face-palms you do. TL;DR- I went to buy a car 450 miles away and drove it back --> what could I have damaged (it's gonna be a lot)? Alright. The beginning of the story: I own a 2001...

Hi! I thought i should share my experience, so no need for help or anything. So the car came with an AGM battery since it has an Eberspächer installed (a diesel block heater). One day i realised the radio (RNS 300) hasn't been playing anything. The only volume i could adjust was telephone. So...

Hi there, My car VW passat b5 , 1.9 diesel, year 2000 There wasn't interior lights after I bought the car so I checked the wires to CCM as it was broken. I took out the cables which connects CCM. As I read on CCM wiring chart that the red/black wires are for interior lights. Exactly what I am...

I've had my 2001 B5 v6 4 motion passat for about a month and haven't had any trouble at all with it. I do know there are things that need replacing such as transmission pan and oil pan, but those can wait. But 1 issue I did have with the passat was the very first day I bought it, I mean within...

2001.5 1.8t, basically my brakes have been really soft and it seems like it takes too much to bring my car to a stop. I had to hit the brakes the other day and it waaay to long and I almost hit the car in front of me. Do I simply need new brakes or could this something else?

Hey all I have a 2000 passat v6 with a automatic transmission, I was on the highway yesterday and 2x the car shifted down by itself from 5th to 4th gear, I was able to go to tiptronic and push it manually into 5th and it was fine. I noticed when I bought the car it had a slight tranny leak which...

My 99 v6 runs and drives fine, it shifts well but when I am in 3rd gear, it cruises fine, but if you push forward a bit on the stick when in third, it has a shake or shimmy like it is rubbing on something, no sound, but you can feel it in the shifter. Also, when shifting if I let the clutch out...

Being the 3rd owner of the family car I'm not sure if it is one tire or more but I can tell you 3 out of 4 tires are worn on the inside. Please help as I have no idea where to start looking or what parts to look at as I do not see a way to change the pitch of the front end.

Spring semester is almost over so I will be trying to remedy some small issue with ebony. So I tired doing a search, my symptoms are the slightly different for my dirver dooe lock. The lock does lock and unlock, but when I unlock turn the car on and turn off then lock it with the key fob I have...

So I went to a small show on Sunday for a friend of mine who recently opened a shop and I wanted to support them best I could. I registered to be judged but never thought twice about actually getting anything but to my surprise I was one of the lowest cars there. This was when they were...

So I was randomly doing a check today of all lights and noticed that my stoP lights were not working. At first I thouht it was the bulbs so I took some from the working side but they didn't work. I took the other cluster to try and it didn't work either. I tried moving a couple of cables and...

I hear a noise from the right front wheel on my W8 Variant when I turn right. It only occurs when I turn right at 20mph or faster. The noise reminds me of a pipe rolling on cement. Hoping it's not the cv joint... Anything else it could be?

So there I am, pumping gas into my 2000 Passat Wagon 1.8T, when I look up and notice that I've only been charged a few dollars for the 9 or so gallons that have already gone into the tank. That's when I notice this: This was the total cost I paid for an entire tank: It was only premium...
