  1. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    I'm thinking that it's unique to have a Passat that is built but it is a FWD car and it'll mostly spin if your putting the power down. I had an B5 A4 that I crashed before my B5.5 Passat and I'm wondering just as a general yes or no question what you guys think? I want to have a reliable build...

    I want one. I saw just this picture on an auto page I follow on Instagram but no link or company name. Where could one acquire one of these?
  3. Volkswagen Passat B6 Discussion
    My family has some ideas about traveling this summer, so when our local indy shop said they had time to get our wagon in for a timing belt job this week, we took advantage. Even though the job was done a little early at 90k miles, the belt was almost 7 years old, plus the cooling system had to...

    It is my own fault. I bought an instrument cluster from VW outlet recently without first pulling my old one, during an exhilarating excitement thinking that I can fix my fading cluster for $50-60. I was overconfident on my reading of ETKA's part number document and ordered 3B0-919-930-SX two...

    So a couple of weeks ago I was on my way to the store to pick up some compound and polish to get scratches out of my paint, then I got rear ended. Ironic right? Also, the lady that hit me said she didn't brake in time because she was distracted by another accident that had already happened in...

    I have a 2008 Passat 2.0T I use it as a daily driver and I was thinking about just putting on Eibach Pro-Kit springs but now I changed my mind because I dont think the drop will be enough so Iv decided to sell the springs and go with coilovers! I am trying to find decent coilovers for under...

    Just yesterday I replaced the crank case breather hose on my passat. Everything was fine yesterday and then today while sitting at a traffic light my passat stalled without warning. I pushed it to the side of the road and after a few minutes the car started without a problem. I connected...

    Hey guys! I bought my 2001 Passat GLS 1.8t AT 2 1/2 years ago, from a guy who sunk quite a bit of $$$ into it and wanted to buy a new one. I bought it without doing any homework on it.. and just assumed it would be trouble free as I've had good luck with choosing used vehicles in the past...

    I have a 2002 Passat 4 cylinder. Original owner, garage kept, ALL scheduled maintenance done, even had the timing belt and all the 100K stuff done at 90K. It hit 100K and it has been one thing after another. I had to have all of the motor mounts replaced because the rubber was going bad and made...

    Hey guys, I'm 16 years old and a few months ago I bought a 1999 B5 passat with 160,000 miles on it, for $2200. Since my parents weren't willing to help me out, I had to pay for everything, which took a lot of saving. The only problem now is that I'm left with no money, to mod the car or even...
