Hey all! Last month, I noticed that the driver's door lock mechanism was acting up on our '05 wagon. The door lock button would lock all but the driver's door, and no lights or buzzers would come on when the driver's door was opened. Sometimes everything worked as it should, but most of the...

Yo there. Yesterday I was getting back from the grocery when my IDLE became pretty rough. The engine didn't stall but it was amazing how nuts the RPM gauge on the cluster performed. I pulled over for a moment and when I tried to get back to the street the car was completely out for power. As...

For anyone who has a b7 passat 2.5 auto please lets talk about mods and stuff we have done to our cars. and things that have happened. After the first 6 months of me having the car I got tboned. Story of my life HAHA. But I get it fixed and I love the car. Had to bring it back due to the door...

My control arm broke as i was coming off the highway. Luckily nothing bad happened. I was a little shaken up. It was totally my fault for not fixing it right away. I knew it was making sounds for awhile now. I'm a little bummed because the wife does not want me to fix it, and she wants me...

Interesting ... We don't own our cars we are just borrowing them and paying to use the technology. GM, Ford, And Others Want to Make Working on Your Own Car Illegal - Boldride.com And yes, VW is also in favor of this.

Hi everyone, Last August I had a 2003 GLS 1.8T B5.5 wagon with ~146,000 miles fall into my lap for a song. It ran just fine, but the original owner wasn't much for maintenance (among other things, he'd never done the timing belt). So needless to say, I've had this car in pieces in my garage...

04 - 1.8T auto front wheel drive 162,000 miles While cleaning the throttle body this weekend I noticed quite a few small metallic "particles" and some oil inside the rubber tube coming from the inter cooler to the throttle body. Partials could just be trash that got there maybe but where is...

I don't really know. The battery compartment was flooded though. I think the TCM is jacked up. :hmmm: But it's cheap. We'll see. Lastly, if you were building a fence and you dug the hole and anchored the first post, the next one you worked on would be... (the second post) LOL
