The gas pedal on my B5.5 is gets stuck in the floor mat when floored to depress the sport mode switch. I floored it today to turn on sport mode, then started the car, engine redlined immediately. Turned it off and noticed that the pedal was stuck in the floor mat at full throttle. Would be...

So I was driving today and heard a like clicking or brushing noise. It sounded like it made a noise every time my tires did full circle. It was coming from the passenger rear side and I honestly haven't found anything useful on the internet so far. I had the brake pads and rotors changed about...

Picking up my new wheels tom0rrow too bad its on on car trailer. 02 Passat with a 1.8 turbo, triptronic trans ,with a broken tb. I got a price from the machine shop 4oo to do the head,if it needs it. i can always hope.

You'd think some of that dna could pass down to the NMS Passat already?!. Might give the car a more cool factor over the Accord/Camry - look at the Mazda 6!! I should have to pay over $600 to get it either.

Hey all. :salute: Been a rough couple past years. Had my 4th child, lost my job, scraped by to pay bills for 8 months while I searched for a job, blah blah blah. Raised the car because it was making my boys car sick (lol). Stupidly sold off my side skirts. One of my winglets got taken out by a...

Hello everyone. I hope this is the right place to post this. I tried posting to the B5 Discussion Forum but it won't let me post. Says my account is awaiting activation or something of the sort. Seems weird because I thought I activated my account already. At any rate, here goes.... I recently...

So i had this issue where the car was running really rich on idle. I used vag com and saw that when you revved in idle, the MAF got stuck in high voltage as if there was a lot of air going into the engine causing more fuel to be dumped making the car run rich. So yesterday i replaced the MAF...

I have this idea for a thread based on the Panorama feature of the new iPhone OS. Here's where I get my Passat projects did—those that don't require a garage. When I need a garage or driveway, I have to use my neighbor's or Polidori's or another friends'. Overall dimensions are...

I put this adapter on my 99 Passat with an older Alpine head unit and that barrel gets really hot. My infrared temp gauge said it's over 140 degrees F. Is that normal? I could even smell hot enamel so I clipped the power lead, which means I pick up one station and maybe even two on top of a...

I'm going to try to post the quick version first and hopefully get right to the point. This is a used 2002 with 71K miles. A week ago today, literally as I left the shop after a "complete vehicle inspection," my timing belt went out while driving. Bent valves, head's at the machine shop, the...

Unbelievable - If they brought this Wagon here with the same (Audi level) featueres I would buy one... Unreal!:icon_eek: VW Passat Test - YouTube It's in German, but you can make out the review...

Thanks to Robbie over at KEG Media we are have a new look!

5.5 GLX V6 4Motion 2001. Took it in to an indepenent mech. to do a simple output shaft seal on front final drive and transfercase. The bolt holding the flange(?) that must be removed to access the seal is supposed to be tightened 25 newtons. Long story short... a Snap On tool used to remove...

See, you gotta slow down and drive at an angle...

Well, it's actually the engine that got the treatment: I love how this all came out. Breather is also black crinkle but if you look closely, it does say "COBRA" instead of Ford Racing.

So all of the HID guides or how-to's have been on the Passats that have fog lights down below in the bumper. However on my 2000 the fog lights are built into the headlight. I also think that my fog light and high beam are the same light. Is there a guide out there for this type of Passat...

Hi, The car is passat 2000 1800 petrol not turbo. The throttle was cleaned ad TBA with vag com. when i raise the RPM and stop the RPM go very low (about 500 - the egine almost stop) and then go up again. when I drive in havy traffic and press the gas pedal a little i get the same problem...
