    Like it says, need a full amber front left blinker assembly with light socket for 1998 B5 - Pre Facelift. Lost mine on the road. https://www.passatworld.com/forums/volkswagen-passat-b5-discussion/306159-what-did-you-do-your-passat-today-283.html#post4518223

    I was wondering if anyone knew what v6 2.8 passat/Audi came from factory with an aluminum thermostat housing. I'm working on timing my car and found a coolant leak at the plastic housing

    I notice that drops of water are creating a fog in my headlight housing. Any way of either sealing the housing or drying out the space. The plastic is showing fogging and I've polished with commercial cleaner but the water bugs me.

    Still working on my 2002 1.8T 5spd with 200k miles. The head is off and getting re-done (worn exhaust guides, bad cam lobe, and new valve seals) and figured I would pull and check the turbo (still original) at the same time. Bought the Gpop rebuild kit and seemed like a pretty easy job. Found...

    Hello all, I have a 2002 Passat abt spec fitted with an AWT engine. I bought this car about two years ago and have had no major issues with it (at 120 k kms now). Recently I had to travel and left it for 3 weeks; on coming back I started it and found it having a rough idle, something which...

    My thermostat housing had a crack and was leaking. When I try to remove the first of the two bolts holding the housing, a big spark came out and almost damaged the hex bit. I was not sure if the wrench occasionally touched the alternator. Tried again and made sure not touching the alternator, it...

    I'm pretty sure my oil leak is coming from the part that my oil filter canister screws into. The filter canister is not wet itself, it's coming from behind that, and dripping on the black coolant pump directly in front of the engine. The leak is not a gusher, just enough to drip a few drops on...

    Hey all, I've owned my '12 B7 3.6 SE for a couple years and have replaced almost every bulb with high quality replacements from deAutoKey. The conversion has been a long and quite expensive one, however the outcome is nothing short of head-turning. My very last struggle seems to be the most...

    I just replaced thermostat, but I think that thermostat housing cover may have a leak. I could not see how to separate the plastic housing cover from the hose at plastic connector joint. What VAG trick have they implemented here? I didn't want to break the thing as I didn't have a replacement...

    Hello all. As the title states, my 2002 V6 has developed a coolant leak. It only leaks after the engine has warmed up, and continues leaking after the engine is no longer running. From what I can see, the leak is coming from right below where the lower radiator hose connects to the housing...

    I am selling a set of chrome mirror housings (brand new in box) that fit the B5/B5.5 Passat and Mk4 Golf/Jetta with mirrors that do not have the turn signal light. This is not the cheap thin glue on covers from eBay. These are real housings and are thick with quality chrome plating. I paid well...

    I'm open to any and all suggestions here. I had a bad automatic transmission in my 05 model Passat, 1.8t. I changed the transmission and when pulling it out, bent the spacer between the motor and transmission. I straightened it out as best I could and put it back in when I installed the new...

    I have a 2001 VW Passat AUG with Auto Trans. The last few weeks the transmission started acting up. The car felt like it didn't have enough power at lower rpms and would stutter like it was in too high of a gear. As soon as I increased rpms it would go away. I could also get it to go away by...

    Hi everyone, Recently did timing belt, thermostat, water pump, tensioner seals/pads, valve cover gaskets, etc. (the whole shebang) and have developed a coolant leak on the passenger side. It is dripping down from above and behind the alternator onto the oil pan and then onto the ground. I am...

    So, for the last couple months. I've had a brand new set of headlight housings that I wanted to install on my b5. They have tinted lenses, and look much nicer than my stock housings (not to mention, my stocks were very yellowed over even after using the Meguiars headlight restoration kit). So...
