    I mistakenly ordered the PCV breather hose and suction pump for the earlier B5 platform (have a 2002 ATQ). It was listed incorrectly as for my vehicle and once I did the reading and looking around in the engine bay I realized my mistake. In taking a look at the hose that was on there before...

    So I have a passat I purchased used from some kid and some of the work or fixes they or he has done looks hacked up at best. Anyway I guess it works but it needs to be corrected.

    Hi all, I'm trying to drain out my gas tank due to it having possibly bad gas. I saw how much rust was around the area. It's gotten to the point where the clamps cracked off and the hoses are completely tight on it and I can't budge the large cap off. I think water / snow snuck its way up...

    Hello everyone, My 2001.5 Passat (1.8T AWM) has idle rough issue in the past couple of years. I cleaned MAF, Throttle body valve, and replaced spark plugs and coils. None of them helped much.

    While I was cleaning the leaves out of the drains I realized that the heater tubes aren't even connected. The heater has never worked and I never really looked into it but this was pretty obvious when I noticed it. Is there some reason somebody would do this? I bought the car like this so I...

    I'm Mark Bondurant, near Cincinnati, OH, and own a 2002 Passat 1.8T, which I purchased to replace a 2003 Jetta TDI that needs a new cam and lifters. So far I love this car, but am getting into some maintinance issues. I had the car in for an oil change (usually I do my own, but time did not...
