    Hi. I drive a 2002 VW Passat 1.8 L Turbo, 4 Cylinder. In December I took it to a cheap mechanic shop to have the oil changed, because I couldn't afford the $115 it costs at the independent VW mechanic. The shop told me they used full synthetic like they were supposed to. A month later, the...

So from those I knew it was the fuel injector. When I came to a stop the engine would start misfiring at cyl 1, but would start firing normally...

    Hi everyone, I noticed some play in the timing belt. I replaced it 10.000 miles/ 7 months ago. No codes, no misfire, no timing retard etc. Should I be concerned about it? Thanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUDxOe4sg3c&feature=youtu.be

    I have a B5.5 and somewhere between June- July of last year water seemed to get under the right front passenger seat. I discovered this until August. It was massive. I will come back and write about it with pictures. The good news it is doable, with some patience, time and a few tools...

    Monday evening, my daughter was sitting in a fast food drive-thru 2 hours away when she heard hissing, saw vapors, and the check engine light started flashing. She quickly pulled into a parking place and shut it down. When she called me, she said she opened the hood and saw that the expansion...

    2000 GLX AWD. The driver's window seems to have come loose from something. It still goes up and down with the window mechanism. But if the window is rolled down and i shut the door, it rattles a lot. Much more than the other windows. I found the video on repairing the mechanism on the 2002...

    When this happens, can the axle be damaged? Or just any other suspension component? I'm trying to assess the possibility that some other pricey part is broken and or is above my mechanical patience. I'm about to take a weekend and replace the one side upper/lower/tie rod etc...

    I recently picked up a new expansion tank cap from the dealer. I had been running a expansion tank cap from germanautoparts.com that was not an OEM part. The expansion tank itself is OEM. The old cap fit rather tight, and got to the point where the center section with the o-ring would...

    Hey guys, I was on my way this morning to school when my car stalled on a hill after slowing down. I figured it was a silicone intake that connects to the throttle body. I put on my emergency blinkers and popped the hood and to my surprise it was my intake boot that came loose(not the first...

    So for around 4 hours now I've been thinking about how to get rid of ball joint stud to take my shock out to replace the springs. I tried everything, heating it up, pushing, hitting with hamer, lifting suspension to loosen up the pressure on the crew. NOTHING. IT'S UNMOVABLE. I have Haynes...
