I have recently replaced my valve cover gasket's , o-rings , and sparkplugs on my 01 Passat v6 (B5) Prior to this I had oil seeping out of the back of the gasket, because of that oil pretty much leaked down onto things I could not see from the top of the engine bay. Now that its been replaced my...

Hello, I was looking for some advice on a situation I am dealing with currently. I have a 2004 1.8t Passat. Over the past month on two occasions after running the car around town, when turning the car off the coolant reservoir starts emptying itself from the weep hole. I have replaced the...

Purchased from VW Dealership for my 1.8T AUG, but never installed this one. (may fit others) $30 + ship.

Just finished my vacuum lines. Cracked PCV hose while putting in the distributor. Have a replacement handy (Big thanks to PZ) as I was going todo the valve covers, just didn't plan on doing so today. Bentley says drain coolant to replace valve cover gaskets. I know when I did my GLX...

2003 1.8t with 150k So I brought the car in to get some work done such as the temp sensor & coolant flange, engine mounts, and one of the problems being a misfire, which I thought was from a faulty PCV system. Turned out to have low compression in 1 of the cylinders. After preforming a leak...

AWM coolant flange: should I use spray on gasket material between flange & engine? I've seen a Youtube video where the mechanic used it. Should I use it or not? Looks like all I have avail. locally is the Permatex brand.

Hello everyone. I have a 99 1.8t Passat Wagon with the AEB engine. The car has been sitting for the past 6 months. It blew the clip off of the coolant temperature sensor the last time it was driven. I assumed it was the head gasket and the white smoke from the exhaust confirmed it. I pulled the...

After owning my Passat for nearly two years and doing mostly work on it that was necessary(with the exception of a modded A6 strut bar), I've decided to do a bit of eye candy work. I've gone to my local pick n pull and got a new to me intake manifold and valve cover that I will now be sanding...

Please keep this separate from my other threads as this was newly discovered and not part of the other threads. Today while at Volkswagen getting my airbag light reset, they did an 82-point inspection of my car.(Didn't find anything wrong with my power steering... Shocker. No one has) and at...

Pls delete thanks

Does anyone know if you have to replace the two intake manifold seals if you take apart the intake manifold? The seals themselves look to be built pretty well by just looking at them here...

2001 V6 4motion Well, I thought the gasket between the manifold and downpipe was leaking, but the local shop says it's either a cracked exhaust manifold or leaky manifold gasket. Quoted 2500$ to replace both... Seems steep. They claim removal of the engine and/or transmission will be...

2003 Passat, V6, GLX I have had a burning oil smell recently. Including one day, after driving about 10 minutes from cold to my destination, I could actually see smoke (yes, not steam because it smell like burning oil) coming out through the front grill just to the passenger side of center. My...

Ok, following up with my previous thread on Valve Cover Gasket, today the mechanic has inspected and found out that the head gasket needs to be replaced. He is saying the coolant is leaking. He quoted me for $1500. This is really a big expense and can't afford it right now. I was reading about...
