WTH heard a "pop" wheel skidded ended up in someones front yard nothing wrong? 2005 1.8T 4 motion. I replaced the front right control arms and steering knuckle a few months back (that's another story) and I know its been out of alignment and just put it off for awhile, needs tires anyway...

162K miles on the original clutch, no slipping, no chatter, smooth engagement. GIAC-X since ~40k. Again, no issues with driveability and I've never been a clutch dragger like some folks I've ridden with, LOL. Recently I've noted that as I release the clutch pedal while engaging the next gear, I...

I had my car aligned and aligned good. Steering wheel angle programmed and what not. I take the car for a drive, steering wheel is straight, not shaking, and no pulling. I was a happy camper, well I took it on the highway and going over 60mph it was pulling to the left. Weird pulling too, but at...

Hello everone, This is a great forum, btw, glad to join. My question may, and hopefully, is simple to answer. I have an 04 1.8t Passat, automatic with Tiptonic. I have recently had a head gasket repair done in May and oil cooler replacement done last month. Since this has been a costly...

I am wondering if anyone has heard back from VWUSA after registering their TDI on the website? The statement that we would hear back in 4 weeks seems to be as accurate as the NOx testing. As an aside, though. I think my 2014 Passat TDI is a great car. I always wondered how I was getting such...

Hi folks, If you have a second, please check out this clip: https://youtu.be/qv4Gg0-nSWE This noise occurs as soon as the ignition is turned on, and last for several seconds. Sometimes it repeats immediately for a second time. Then that's it during the drive. However, I occasionally hear...

Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me with the strangest issue I've ever had with a vehicle. We bought a 2002 Passat 2.8L V6 5-speed Automatic in December 2014. The car's most recent issue is a clunking noise on the driver's side that reverberates into the steering wheel (you can...

heard a crunch noise when rolling the passenger window down, then back up again. As the crunching stopped, the motor still runs but the window does nothing. It moves freely with my hand up and down but will not move with the motor. Whats wrong with it? The motor still seems good...i hope..

WTF is going on around this place lately? Simple questions that a quick google search would answer are all over the damn place, and the same people are asking the same questions a bunch of times on the back of different threads. Seriously, people- you're killing me here! :banghead:

So I dropped my 00' Passat GLX Wagon off at the shop last night, he called me this morning, his quote for all new control arms, new o2 sensors in both forward locations, and a tune up was 2300. Seem about right?

Hey guys, I just got my second set of HID's for my second set of projectors in my quad projector custom made headlights. I'm using stock North American headlight housings. The low beam is H7 and the front fog/high beam is H4. I am using a H7 HID kit for the low beams and it works 100% fine...

Hello all, i hate to start another tint thread but i came up with an idea and wanted to know if anyone had any opinions on it. It seems to be a popular thing to tint the front windows, but most places in north america there are bylaws against tinting the driver and passenger windows. So this is...

I have heard if you go to an eye doctor you can get an prescription that allows you to get your front window tinted. I am woundering if this is true or not. I am going to look more into it. It might be a fluke what do you guys think have u ever heard of this.

Is this true? On my B5.5 wagon non-4mo? :driving:
