Hi. Ok I know there has been numerous post about this problem but i havent found a solution. My problem is as follows. My car shifts up no problem but when im slowing down it jerks, sometimes harder than others. I know for a fact it only happens when the car is downshifting from 5th gear to 4th...

My mom's neighbor is a VW tech and I had him checking out a vac leak when he gave me good insight regarding the gearbox. He says, "never give it full throttle in 3rd". I don't know much more, but wanted to share this with you guys!

Hey all! My 04' V6 Auto with Trip is starting to give me some issues again. Goes into Limp mode in reverse only. Shut the car off - restart and back to normal, Put it in sport mode before starting then shifting in reverse works as normal, sometimes when I put it in Neutral 'N' doesn't get...

I've had my 2008 VR6 4MO Wagon for 4 months now and it recently has started to shift into 5-6 gear at 30-35mph. Then when there is light pressure on the accelerator it lugs the engine at around 1000-1500 rpms instead of downshifting. It basically feels like its in one gear too high for these...

As title says, I want to know if the gear knob from Passat B6 or Passat CC, or Golf MK5 directly fits on Passat 5.5 gear stick?

I changed out my heater core on my 2003 Passat B5.5 this past week. Using the "Super Fast and easy" video everything was moving along fine. Part of the disassembly required pulling the dash away from the body, which included disconnecting the steering column from the steering rack. When I went...

Hey all I have my roomates b5.5 4motion triptronic with 108k miles!!! that has started to experience very harsh 4th to 5th gear shifts increasing in frequency.

so, i've been looking around now for a couple days. was there EVER any switches or buttons for the shifter center base on the NMS (usa) b7 passats? even the etka online parts references point that there are only blanks, not ever buttons. can anyone confirm this? did vw think about future use...

I know how to use the "manual mode" to put my car into 3rd gear but when i let the rpms down, then try to do a pull, it autoshifts into 2nd. I can shift it back down to 3rd however i want it to stay in 3rd. also, i dont want it to auto shift into 4th. I want to ping redline, or hold at max rpm.

Hi, I hv a 05 passat wagon 1.8l T 5spd Automatic (tiptronic) w/93k miles, and the reverse gear is slipping under load i.e. more when it's cold or back uphill. Any idea how to diagnose and assess whether it is worth the repair? The shop said the ATF was black but I am hesitant to do anything...

Does anybody know where I can buy a faux wood gear shift knob for a 2002 Passat sedan triptronic? And, do I put the gear selector in D, or D3 or what to remove the broken knob?

Hey guys. I recently purchased a 1998 Passat with the 1.8L turbo engine. Automatic Trans and its having some issues. It's very hard starting and will stall out at low RPMs and under load, also the tranny seems like it wont catch right away or that's it's not giving enough power off to push the...

I've looked at some posts here on the forum and found a few things about the car hiccuping. These hiccups are minor. I was told that I could replace the coils and plugs and all would be good. Can anyone confirm this? I have limited knowledge and am quite new to owning VWs. There are no strange...
