Hi there! So I've seen several threads related to what is involved with replacing the rear shocks and I'm ready to get at it :wrench: However, I'm not 100% sure on what all is needed besides the shock, shock bump stop and boot (dust cover). The last thing I want to do is get it all apart...

So, jeez, where do I start... Well, just before the winter, I got myself into a huge mess by buying a Passat GLX 4motion without properly seeing how bad things were. Had some damage, they said the hit a deer (in a fairly rude tone). Started up, ran fine for a 245k mile car, drove straight and...

Hi all: I'm going to finally go after the clunk I get when accelerating. 2000 ATQ V6 Manual Trans. I've concluded it's probably engine and/or transmission mounts. That said, I've done the motor mounts before and learned a few things. Please chime in with opinions and know how on the following...

So I am sure that this is old news, but now that my VAG-COM is here I found a good site to double check my codes and thought I would share it for anyone who also could use it VW Online Technical Library - Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) Tables Enjoy :-)

Got a really thorough estimate and although I have only had the car for 15K/1 year I am pretty excited. PO did a lot of maintenance and kept excellent records. I am beginning to wonder if he received an estimate at the end, decided to sell but neglected to put it in the folder. Bygones. Problem...

I want to thank PZ for inviting me over to his house last week. :thumbup: I was down in 'his neck of the woods' during my road trip to Florida and Texas the 3rd & 4th week of October. Don't really know what say here, I could ramble on and on. I guess for those who get the chance to meet him, do...

Hello, just purchased my 03 Passat GLS with 101k. I want to do a complete tuneup and would like to know what parts and items I need to replace. It just turned to 101K, dealer replaced timing belt, cam/crank seals, water pump and both L/R axles. I don't think a full tuneup has been done on my...

If I was just to order all the bits (caliper, caliper carrier, etc.) and match them up with larger aftermarket rotors, what would the OEM parts list look like? I'm having some difficulty tracking down a list of similar vehicles that would share the same parts. I've also heard conflicting...

In 15 years that I own my Passat I have not replaced a single check valve yet. Increasingly, I am getting convinced that a preventive maintenance/replacement of dying check valves may be very beneficial. It would be helpful for every one to compose a comprehensive list of check valves possibly...

I am slowly trying to fix or replace parts on my Passat that are warn out and/or needs replacing. Currently I am looking for a new dome assembly that was cracked to hell way back when I got the car. The only problem is, all the parts I can find on ecu are the wrong ones. They are all either for...

I'm going to do the VCG to hopefully alleviate my sparkplugs from swimming in their receptacles. So I've got the following: VCG viktor reinz 058198025A - Valve Cover Gasket Set - ES#252629 cam chain tensioner gasket set 058198217 - Cam Chain Tensioner Gasket Set - ES#258758 PCV valve (T type)...

Does anyone know if there are published part number lists for these cars?

As you know, these cars use a bunch of relays, sometimes with part numbers which differ from Bentley or from the next car. If I had a spreadsheet of relay types, including part number (either the 3-digit code printed on the top or the full manufacturer number), coil impedance, and contact switch...

compatible parts for different cars? I have a 99 1.8 auto B5 and there is an 03 car someone is selling for parts and I need a LOT of parts lol (mostly interior). i just wanted to know if there was some kind of legend somewhere that had a quick list of things that were compatible? I tried...

I am totally exhausted I might sell car to junk cars. The transmission went in limp mode after alternator failed. It doesn't have noise or mechanical failure. Only thing is it does not switch gears. Is in 4th gear all the time. Reverse works fine. What can be probable cause. Starting from...

Hope anyone can help! Thanks! Here is what is known about the car - The flex pipe is bad, needs to be replaced (very loud) The TCM has been replaced several times due to flooding the passenger footwell area. The initial TCM doesn't seem to be the right one for my model (no communication)...

Hi all, Been awhile. My Passat is no longer my daily (b/c of needing the TB change and unresolved odd braking issues noted in other threads). Been spending more time in my "new to me" 06 Jetta TDI BRM DSG for Fuel Economy. However, I want to get the Passat back ready since it is nicer to drive...

Hello Forum I bought shocks but its only shocks doesn't include any other parts, I know there are some rubber parts, and other parts that usually needs to be changed. Except spring what parts are there that I will have to change when I change shocks. What are names of those parts so I will...

Reposting this from the Vortex, where I received virtually no help: This is a friend's car. She was driving on the interstate and lost power to the point where it gradually slowed to a near stop. She was able to nurse it into a parking lot and it quit on her. I went to look at it and was able...
