moment

2 weeks ago youngest son tells me the Brake Fault Warning came on, and has been going off only on right turns. I decide that this means one of the front ABS sensors is failing, as I have seen the same problem after I redid the passenger side axle. That time it was fixable with a simple...

Greetings everyone! Wondering where you all order parts when you need them? I used to go thru FCP Euro, but *man* are they getting expensive. Example, I need two front axle assemblies, and FCP wants $344/each! Front Left Front Right Sometimes I can find pretty decent parts on Amazon as...

ok so i am new to this forum, as well as the b5 Passat.. so here is the history.. i bought a 99 sedan 1.8t with manual trans. Drove it for about a month. one day while driving i heard a small pop and the clutch pedal went limp.. it wasn’t a dead pedal just wouldn’t allow me to shift gears...

Got my wheels back from the powdercoater, a gunmetal color, and thought it would look better with black bolts. ECS had the tapered ones I needed, but they were 30mm vs 28 mm that came with the wheels when I bought them several years back. I measured several bolts with a caliper. Hey, what harm...

Thought I would share my recent dumbass attack and hopefully it will prevent somebody else from doing what I did. I had to put my 03 V6 into service position to replace the AC compressor pulley bearing. The job went real smooth and the car is quiet now. a few days later I was rolling down the...

Hey guys, these rarely comes up, but I spotted one on ebay to suit a Passat: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280645627425&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:AU:1123 I don't know if its red or green illumination. You will have to check with the seller. :)

:D Just finished changing my TB, :banghead: But I hear a slight tapping. I checcked my timing marks on the crank and cam shaft pullies plenty of times. I am not too sure about the third pulley. Any opinions?

I ran into this headline at Worldcarfans.com and my first thought was, "how can they tell that?" Then I chuckled to myself when I had a closer look... :lol:

im at 83k miles and my 2001 b5 v6 has been great...the only thing is the weak suspension(as we all know) recently i put on 4 brand new tires(done by a shop where i bought them)...they were balanced and wheel alignment was done...2 weeks later i changed lower control arms on both sides(not the...

Ok sorry or the delay.. between my woman being a bitch to me last night and having work to finish at the job first here it is... Finally. After several months of working with Paul to finish his projects and mine as well I set it up with PAS mag to shoot an article on Pauls car to fill...

i was driving down the road earler and noticed that my temp guage was reading high (about one notch and a bit from dead centre ) so i pulled over and turned the car off and checked all the coolant levels and hoses and nothing was wrong ?? so i got back in the car and drove home really slowly...

Yay .... fells old now :( better get crackin on my service maintenance ... so much to do :D

I was walking back to my desk this morning and out of the corner of my eye I saw a car in the parking lot and I did a double take. I thought, that's a nice looking car. I then realized it was my B5.5. Just thought I'd share. :lol:
