I apologize for all these threads I'm starting. It just seems my car is liking to fall apart this week. This definitely has to do with my heater core because I looked at the pipes and they are covered in coolant. Would you guys suggest removing the hoses and doing a small reverse flush with...

Tragically, my Passat 4Motion GLX Wagon met its maker last week. I removed the Panzer Plate that I bought in February 2014. In memory and honor of the departed Passat, I am offering it here cheap. It is still in great shape, just some scrapes and road grime. I am including some fresh...

Hey guys, I got a problem. I run a 98 V6 manual trans. I was getting on the highway to day and about to hit 4th Gear ~3.5K RPM and my car started cutting out. It felt like it was about to stall out. I thought it was a fluke and while driving in 5th started putting more on the pedal and around...

Took my car to the highway port truck scales the other day and with me in it, fishing poles and tackle, and with less than a half tank of fuel, 3,900lbs :confused::banghead: I had no idea it would come close to that. I have weighed all my cars on the same scale and its been pretty legitimate...

Hi all, I recently traded in my 2002 Passat sedan for a 2008 Wagon 2.0L FWD. I also have the 2004 Wagon 1.8L FWD. I have noticed that during heavy acceleration like when passing someone on the highway, steering becomes erratic. I'm not sure if this is from crossing over the crest of the...

I bought some used Nex coil-overs off of a fellow forum member and I have to say I am pleased with them. They may not be the best quality coil-overs out there but they do the job and they were a fun project too say the least (First time installing coil-overs). I don't have a skid plate currently...
