As I mentioned earlier this week, my youngest son crashed into the back of a bus with the old Passat. He's fine, nobody injured at all. Just found out this morning that the insurance company declared the Passat a total loss. I don't have the value of settlement as yet. The Canadian Black...

Due to the loss of my spare key I am going through the exercise of replacement. Here in New Zealand, my dealer has quoted me $496 for a new key, and on top another $80 for them to program it. Every time I deal with them I feel they are extorting me for everything they can. I have a 2003 W8...

My threads are unaccessible. Unbelievably bad timing.

Hey guys, I'm finally finishing up all the needed maintenance on the Passat (full timing belt job, valve cover gaskets, PCV system) and I'm wondering what I can do before filling with G12. The previous owner ran the car with green coolant for who knows how long. Is it enough just to fill the...

How about a little about myself and the dubs I've owned, first was a 20th Jazz Blue GTI No. 0354. My favorite still to this day. and a MK3 white Jetta GL. After those two came and went, I went to a MK3 Golf 2.0 a little better than the jetta but by no means the GTI. 3rd and Second favorite...

Hey Guys... I may be a noob here....but I have been a shadetree for years with custom cars....custom trucks....used and new. But bought this 2008 Passat for my kid and while it's a great car, these lil things are going to push me over the edge. lol

I've been looking for a rain tray from years between 98-01 B5. They seem hard as heck to find. Anyone know of where I can land one??

Thanks to anyone looking at this. Last week I bought a 2010 Passat Wagon. It came with DRL disabled, H&R Springs, and Koni Shocks. It runs pretty well and I was speculating that it might have had the ECM flashed/modified. Is there any way to tell? Maybe using a VAGCOM cable?

I have a 1.8T model and was wondering what it is. Has anyone had smoke come from the exhaust. Pretty thick and usually worsens as you drive or give it more gas while driving.

So, I just realized there is a 12 year corrosion warranty. Stupid me started some sanding and touchup paint on the front fender at the top of the wheel well on my wifes 06 wagon last year. was way overdue for a wash so I washed it and found many places rusting. door seams.. around the light...

Greetings, Back in February of this year I had the following problem with my '12 2.5l SE and I was wondering if anyone else has, or knows of someone who has had the following problem. Back in February of this year, the steering began whining whenever I made a left turn. An analysis at the...

We have a love hate relationship, i love her she hates me. its great :banghead: Anyways, i can't seem to find out what could possibly be going on.. I've had it sitting for a good year or two, and finally decided to go pick it up and fix the exhaust, the only problem it had when I parked...

This price hasn't been around since before Christmas! Looks like there's an oil change in my car's future.

Is there any way to tell if a timing belt for a 2002 Passat V6 (ATQ engine) has been replaced at some point? Any clues or things to look for that might indicate that the timing belt has been replaced? Is it possible to get started on the replacement job and determine whether or not the timing...

Remember the colored wax that used to be available? Many included what was called a "Chip-stick." I once had a Catalina Blue MK III Golf and the blue version of that stuff worked great. Well, at least until I washed the car, but you can't get chip-sticks anymore. Fast-forward 2 decades later...

My wife's car is a 2005 Passat we picked up a few months ago with 70,000 miles on it. It has the 2.8 engine. Recently while checking the oil and other fluids, I opened up the cap on the coolant reservoir and noticed the coolant is green, not the pink I would expect if it had the proper G12...

So I hop in my car today for that joyous Friday afternoon drive home, and my front passengers side door window was going up and down at will the whole way home. Possessed? Maybe, but not likely. :hmmm: This has never happened to me before. How can this happen all of a sudden? And conveniently...
