Sorry if this is in the forum somewhere, but is there a history of the car somewhere that associates years with the platform codes (B3, B4, B5 and B5.5)? I'm particularly interested in the cutoff between B5 and B5.5. It might also be nice to have various changes summarized, engines added...

While i was trying to fix my no start i decided to look through the huge bundle of service records that came with the car. Wow! Pretty much everything that could have failed seems to have with the previous owner. The MAF sensor failed in the first 400 miles of the cars existance. On the plus...

I have a 2001.5 Passat GLX 4Motion 2.8L with just over 83,000 miles. And looking at a hefty bill to do some preventive and necessary engine work (cam adjuster seal seepage, timing belt + works)..... Wondering what folks know about the longevity of the V6. When I bought the car new I planned...

I think that the B6 did take a step back, but the B5 and B5.5 are among the most aerodynamic cars on the road. The only current production cars that are more aerodynamic are the Honda Insight .25 COD, Lexus LS 430 .25COD and the Toyota Prius .26 COD. Passats B5-5.5's with an incredible .27 COD...

The family is growing and the B5.5 won't be large enough come August. The wife wants a minivan so we're going to sell the Passat soon and get her an Odyssey or Sienna. The car is a 2002 1.8t GLS wagon (62K miles) and I am the 2nd owner. The car is flawless and has every option available on...

I'm one of those morons that is always curious about where my used cars have been, who owned them, where did they come from new, etc... Don't know why, I just like to know the history on it. After perusing through the service manual that came with the Audi, I found some info. Apparently the...
