Hi all, Searching for some advice for a new 2015 1.8t Limited Edition, automatic 6-speed. In the SF bay area I'm in stop-and-go traffic all day and the delay (starting from a dead stop) is getting tiresome. The car wants to rev for a moment, then the clutch lets out and there's an abrupt...

First time posted here but been reading the forums for 2 years now. You guys are awesome! So with that being said I have surfed the internet to the end and can’t figure out what’s with my Passat. 1999 Passat 1.8 Turbo Manual speed. 188K mileage. Started two weeks ago, normal driving around 1800...

02 30v v6 tip automatic. No cell. From stop if I don't push gas very easy jerks before it gets moving. I can't just push pedal and go have to ease into it. I do have trouble with shudder while cruising below 2000 rpm with cruise control off. Would that be same issue as my take off? CTS? Thanks.

Fellow B5-ers, For some time now I am experiencing very much jerky (sometimes violent) acceleration on my V6. It is present in every gear, just up to 2000 RPM, after which it just disappears and the car accelerates smoothly (runs great actually). The jerkiness is much more pronounced on a...

New guy here. I've owned a passat before and fired up to get one again. Just got a 2004 4 cylinder 1.8 with 83k mikes. The transmission jerks when I decelerate and exactly at 35 mph it jerks and downshifts. Also I feel a little jerk from time to time when out of or into park. Vw dealership...

Hi, My 2000 Passat idles rough, and runs rough & jerky at all driving speeds, it is worse when running on cruise control. Spark plugs are black (replaced 2 weeks ago). My scanner shows the ignition timing at idle jumping all over the place from under 10 deg. to about 24 deg. The idle speed...

Ok, I recently picked up a 2001.5 Passat 1.8T for $300 due to engine and body problems. Firstly, its leaking oil from the back of the engine, in line with the pistons. Secondly, the performance is fine, but when I apply more than about 70% throttle, it satrts misfiring until I restart the...

I am having some issues with my transmission. It jerks into gear, kinda lags as you take off but goes through all the gears Except overdrive. It will not change into Overdrive and the manual shift will not work. Although it did change into overdrive for about 5 minutes today and the manual shift...

Hi, i have a 2001 Passat 1.8T automatic. I bought it in pretty bad shape, and have sense replaced all 4 coil packs, the alternator, the fuel pump, the MAF sensor, and many many fuses. It seems to be working perfectly, except when I decelerate at higher speeds, its is jerky. It almost seems like...

Hi. I hope to get some help with this downshift issue. I have posted about this before, but now I have more info. First a little background. The car is a 2004 VW Passat V6 4motion wagon with tiptronic and has 142k miles, runs like a champ other than this issue. This is some of the work that was...

First of all thanks for all the useful info on this forum. I have been having the same issue with the jerky downshift at times. I have a 04 glx 4motion with 145k on it. Did the tranny flush, new filter as well. I did read about service bulletin #0416 that mentions about the reprogramming the...

I just purchased a 2002 VW Passat VR6, used, one owner 75,000 mile. While driving the car at low rpms, say in the the 1800 - 2000 range, the RPMs constantly jump up a couple hundered and fall back down. The car also jerks back and forth when this happens. Almost like it doesn't know which gear...

Hey guys I am new to this forum and am currently a student @ UCI. I need some help and suggestions on how I can fix this problem on my passat. The problem: I just bought a '99 Passat 1.8t A/T from a mutual friend of my sister's for about $1350. (pretty good bargain I believe) I knew that it...

So my boy pointed out something the other day while helping me run the seafoam through the mani. At startup, the engine shakes..quite a bit more then normal. That would explain the slightly shakey idle too recently. Anyway I got into an accident a year ago and the garage that fixed it up...

2003 B5.5 with 76k on it. CEL came on this morning, along with a ridiculously rough idle. It seems to run better at higher RPM. I'm thinking it's the MAF, except for the fact that as I pulled into a gas station parking lot this morning, and then again when I pulled into work, the brake pedal...
