    Has anyone recently bought/used a touch up paint that actually matches our color? Did some searching and saw that apparently the OEM VW touch up paint doesn't come close to matching. Saw a post on the forums that said paintscratch.com matched perfectly, but that was from 2013. Sent from my...

    So lady across the street backed into my car, the only time I have ever parked it on the road... MY fender is pooched, and the driver door is scraped up (which is fine because it was rusting anyways). I need these two pieces in black magic metallic. Can't find any locally that are in good...

    Afternoon, Trying to get a sense of what's happening here, when my engine is at idle, there's this metallic sound, similar to if you took a marble, stuck it in a tin can and shook it periodically. It seems to come from over top the alternator, but some people have mentioned it might be the cam...

    Hi Everyone, I am a brand new VW owner and new member of this site. Just recently I purchased a '02 Passat GLX 4motion (w/97k miles) for fairly good price knowing that it was involved in a rear end accident. Now I am finding multiple issues with this car. It looks excellent from exterior or...

    I have a metallic clicking noise coming from my passenger side reear wheel. It increases in volume and speed when I accelerate. It makes may car sound like a train. I had someone check the behind the tire but nothing out of the ordinary was visible. Any ideas?

    When I get to about 80% lock in either direction of the steering wheel, there is a godaweful metallic rubbing noise. Happens in both drive and reverse. Not sure if this is normal. Any insight? Thanks. Edit: It's not the tires, and definetly in the front end, lower part of the car. There is...

    Ok the metallic rattle is only between 900 and 1200 and I think at 2900 when the engine is hot, other wise absolutely no noise. Sometimes when the car is turned on cold I can hear it if the rpms are at the initial 1200 but this is very rare. The noise gets worse the longer I drive especially...

    Hello All I have just bought a metallic black 2009 Passat Wagon Highline 2.0 TDI DSG and I'm about to buy some new summer wheels in 19". I'm having an idea that I would try some black rims just to make it a little different but I'm a little unsure if it will look stupid - Any opinions? Regards...

    When I travel over rough roads at a low speed I hear a faint metallic rattle. It is coming from the front drivers side wheel. I recently did some brake work but I am pretty sure I put everything back together right. At first I thought it was just a loose wheel well liner but while driving with...

    99 1.8T Passat AEB - manual For the past week, when starting my car, there's a metallic rattle coming from the drive side of the engine. The noise can't be heard from the cabin with the windows closed. When I rev the engine, the noise gets loud like a turbo fan spooling. Actually, it sounds...

    Hi all, I own a 01.5 passat 1.8t (AWM) on which I replaced the timing belt, tensioner, roller, water pump, A/C and alternator belts. Immediately upon startup after the change, there has been a nasty sounding intermittent metallic rattle coming from under the timing belt cover. The kit was from...

    My 98 B5 has a metallic rattle that I'm having a difficult time diagnosing. From what I can tell, it is coming from the back of the engine (near the firewall), but it is hard to hear from the engine bay with the hood open... I think this is because the normal sound of the running engine drowns...

    Trying to decide which PBR pad to install in our '00 1.8T wagon (5-sp). This is my other halfs daily driver, so I first thought of the PBR Delux (organic) pads for the low dusting, etc. For effectively the same price, I can get the ceramics, so am inclined to go that way; however, I've no...
