I’m sure this has been asked before (in fact I know it has cuz i looked but it never helps to be extra sure) but how bad is using 87 in the vw 2.8l v6? Vs 91 or higher. Being in college I’d rather have a full tank of 87 vs 3/4 tank of 91 if i can help it and the car can handle it. It’s a 2002...

Hello there, I recently purchased a B7 2014 passat VR6 with 44k miles on it. I am smelling a gas smell from the outside of the car, and there is no leaks that I can detect. I put it on a lift at work to inspect the car and there are no signs of any leaks other than some water (which is normal)...

What is the fuse # for that circuit?

Hi, my 2004 1.8t faults are showing a P0441 fault and a loose gas cap indicator. I have reset the P0441 and replaced the gas cap but both of them come back on intermittently. Is there a likely cause? Bad N-80 valve, clogged charcoal canister, cracked hose? Most likely issue? Please let me know...

Hey guys how do I go about fixing this? what size is the hose and what are all the tools and parts needed to fix (it is the middle of the 3 hoses). Note it wasn't completely severed it had a large leak but when i pulled it off it completely split. This is bracket on the firewall...

So I read the looong thread about the recall for the fuel line and heat shield etc. According to the Carfax there aren't any outstanding recalls on my car. Here's what I experienced today: I had the car stored in my storage unit for about 3 or 4 days. I went and got it out today and it started...

Is this a suggestion or recommended ?

I recently bought a 2018 Passat R Line. It's my first VW after years of having all kinds of other brands. I absolutely love the car. I have a question about the gas gauge and am wondering maybe its just a VW thing. I notice that after I fill my gas tank up the gas gauge needle starts moving...

Hey all, I have 2009 VW Passat 2.0 TSI with 130,000 miles. Couple of weeks ago I went to a dealership to replace a fuel pump control module (nothing bad with it, just to perform the recall). The very same day I noticed that my car started consuming a lot more gas than it used to. My combined...

Is this a coincidence? I replaced the fuel pump on my wife's 2004 Passat B5.5 which was very easy BTW. Started right up and Drove it around about 10 miles, no problem. After a day, the gas cap warning light illuminates. :confused: Is this coincidence and the gas cap seal is no good anymore...

Let me start off by saying I love the car, but the person I bought it from was a total liar. He said the car was mechanically sound and he never had issues, less than a week after the purchase the check engine light came on resulting in $2500 in repairs from the dealership. Now to the current...

2002 V6 GLX 4Motion looking under the car, just in front of the drivers side rear wheel, I can see the black plastic gas tank is wet with gas that is leaking from the tank. I haven't done any more research than that, I haven't jacked the car up inspect more. Is anybody familiar with this issue...

04 GLS 1.8T ran perfectly until I ran out of gas. Refueled, no start. I replaced fuel pump, tested relay 372 behind cabin fuseblock. All fuses in fuseblock good. It cranks, but no power to fuel pump. There is power to the breaker panel where 372 is mounted, and 372 bench tests good. This must be...

Some of you may remember last week's installment of "how the Passat turns", I had to diagnose my wife's fuel pump from home while she was 250 miles away at in-laws and then drove down to replace it. Pump is working fine but I now have a fuel leak somewhere and an P0422 EVAP code for "small...

Well new member with a gas passat - no you heard right - gas - biogas with the 1.4 T petrol backup Engine. It is a 2010 model bought at auction with "R" specification. Really pleased. Started with a major hickup with faulty injector module but VW replaced them free. Then a gas cylinder upgrade...

Hello all, I have a 2000 v6 passat with just over 100k on the odometer. I am only getting around 250 miles out of a tank of gas(89) and I am trying to find out why it is so poor. From my research, I should have a 16-1/2 gallon tank (not 4 motion). I drive roughly 30 miles a day on the highway at...

I really need help figuring out the gas recirculation routing. I did scour the Garage and InfoBase sections, but other that wonderful write-ups about changing the vacuum hoses I couldn't find anything to help out. 2003 GLX wagon with ATQ engine, 7/02 production. However, it has the "updated" PCV...

Hello all, (I think I posted this in a wrong thread so I am posting here. Pardon me!) I did a timing belt change about 4000miles ago. After the timing belt change the fuel economy tanked and there was a drop in power. I thought I misaligned the cam and crankshaft. So I went and reinstalled the...
