Ive been helping my father work on a awd V6 passat that he bought as a third vehicle. the car seemed in decent shape when he bought it. I've owned a lot of 1.8t's and VR6's...but i'm not overly familiar with the 30V. I'll start from the beginning, in case i'm missing the common link to all...

Joined this forum cause I’ve had an 07 (B6) Passat since 2013. Lots of great info here & on the other VW forums,too. 1st VW was an 85 Jetta back around 2000.

Good evening everyone, so I have a 2007 B6 with a FSI 2.0T with 154,000 miles. The car has been running perfect up to this point. I bought it used in June of 2017 with no issues what-so-ever until a couple of days ago. I got in & started it like usual, let it warm up for about 10 min, drove...

Hi all, I'm getting no cold A/C at all and have troubleshooted the following: - Only a recirc flap sensor issue on climatronic, shouldn't effect A/C? - Gas is at good pressure - 267 Relay seems good (disconnected it and A/C clutch doesn't engage, reconnect and clutch runs) - Red valve thing...

Well after successfully conquering my last attempt at all the codes on the inside, my attention has turned to the codes from under the hood. And I must say thank you to the folks who provided input on helping with my interior code issues. :salute: Last thread for interior codes here...

Looks like the trip to Phoenix took its toll on my 98 DD. <img title="Suspicious" class="inlineimg" alt="" src="http://www.passatworld.com/forums/../smilies/eek.gif" border="0" smilieid="90"><br> <br> I knew I had flaky o2 sensor, but the rest of this, holy crap where to start?<br> I actually...

What could have possibly gone wrong? Haha!

A friend and I are parting out my white 2000 VW Passat 2.8 30v 5-spd manual wagon. It was in good running condition with little wear to body parts when I was rear-ended by an SUV, right at license plate level above the bumper. We're evaluating the engine and determining if I need any parts...

My son has a 2003 Passat 1.8T wagon, automatic, with about 118K miles. Some time back after replacing the shocks with Bilstein Tourings and H&R springs to lower the ride about 1.3", and having new tie-rod ends installed and an alignment done at the dealership, we started noticing that there was...

Looking forward to finding all the needed info here, after searching of course.....

I recently went through a lot of pain with my wife's Passat. Had lean bank 1. Took it into my shop looking for a vacuum leak, couldn't find one. Took it to a shop up the road. Good man. Found a split hose and replaced it. Cleared codes. Ran much better. CEL back on with small and large...

Ok I have been collecting stuff for awhile, plus I have parted out a couple of cars too. I have basically the parts off of 2 complete B5.5. Body parts. Tan interior parts. Send me a PM on what you are looking for and I will let you know if I have it and the details on it also. The daughter is...

I went to go look at a 2003 Passat that was showing low coolant and oil along with a check engine light. It also looses about a cup of water after revving the motor. The guy said that a new radiator was just put into the car. I think maybe the air never got bled out of the system. Am I...

So I guess I will post here to start since i can not get to post in B5 forum area. My DD has an 03 passat wagon with 1.8T. She is 2 hours away at college and I am fighting a no-start ongoing issue with her car. It has been to the dealership 3 times (they have stood behind their work and we...

This is posted in the for sale section, but I haven't had any takers or even nibbles at this point. Considering the maintenance that has already been done, I think it is a very fair price, but I want a sanity check. I started by asking $2,800 and have dropped the price to $2,500. What are...

I just installed a new turbo on a B5 that had a bad turbo, It smoked really bad white smoke and it smelled like oil. The old turbo left oil everywhere in the intercooler pipe and all over the inside of the downpipe/exhaust. So i got a new OEM k03 for it and the car still has some type of water...
