  1. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    I just finished replacing all my front suspension 'stuff'. At alignment shop and was asked where I got the outer tie rod ends. The tech showed me where the threaded shaft coming out of the actual end moved in and out of the end piece when the wheel is wiggled by hand. Is that correct? Is...

    Can Someone verify if the Part with the teal sqaure around it should have a valve of some type inside it? Mine does not, it is wide open and I am wondering if this is why I am having an issue with my PCV system?

    My question is, has anybody used INA brand parts for the internals on their engine? If so, good or bad? Long story short. Rebuilding my wife's 2.8 AHA heads has lead me down a path I care not travel, however I come to the realization that I have to. I have been finagling a way to save as many...

    The car is a 2004 GLX with V6: The timing belt slipped forward and half of it was chewed up by various pulleys and covers. Anyway the cams and crank are now out of time. Before investing in parts is there a quick way to check for internal damage, without removing heads? The car has 120,000...

    Another wet autumn, another winter around the corner and just as last year, alarm goes off by it self on my 2002 V6 4Motion Passat. There is no pattern, it just started doing it very often 7 out of 10 times 20-30 seconds after I lock the car. I have solved all water ingress problems, on doors...

    Ok guys I am real new to posting threads so sorry if this is misplaced or I seem a lil off on my wording but here goes. So I replaced my engine and did not get the torque converter on correctly which took out the front pump I have no internal experience so I took it to a tranny buddy who is...
  8. Volkswagen Passat B6 Discussion
    This problem has been there for a long time in my car. I cannot remember the exact order that those lights went out - seemed to start from the passenger side sunvisor, then the door lights, reading lights. They are all out now. I had a couple of dealers check the lights a few times. They...

    Hi, This all started when my fuel release switch/motor packed in and I had to use the emergency control to get access to my fuel filling flap everytime I entered a fuel station (the looks of the numerous servers as they thought I was about to pull an armed gun and complete a robbery provided...

    I'm actually posting this for you audiophile Guru's. I sold off my Pioneer DEH-770mp to my brother when I upgraded to my navigation unit about 4 months ago. He was recently in his truck when all the speakers cut out but the sub was still hitting. So when he got home he threw in his old pioneer...

    Ok well, I guess I gotta hold off on fixing all the other problems w/ my B5... Cuz my car kinda-sorta died on the highway yesterday (and I was playing traffic tag w/ a GTI too!(don't worry it wasn't serious and we were like 5 seconds into it)). But anyways, I got this big warning were it...
  15. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    How come nobody makes aftermarket internal engine components for the Passat / Audi? Is there some kind of patent issue that I don't know about? Here's the deal. I am at a point where I need to decide on a completely new motor or dump countless thousands into the one I have. I have been tearing...

    So, I've finally gathered the fund to improve my factory Monsoon audio. I'm looking to do the usual amp/sub(stealthbox) additions, but I'm still deciding whether it would be worth it to change the factory HU. Changing to an aftermarket HU would save me from having to splice wires at the Monsoon...

    I was wondering if anyone could help me diagnose my VAGCOM readout. Been getting horrible gas mileage so pulled to code listed below for the Oxygen sensor. I suspect I have to replace it. Is this doable without a hoist? Any input is much appreciated. Regards, Shawn Chassis Type: 3B - VW...
