    I'm looking at a used Passat Wagon. I have read the Oil Pump Bolt thread and have some concerns about that issue. Other than that the car seems to pass the muster. It's got a clean carfax and I would be the third owner. It has been serviced at VW dealers it's entire life and I have talked to...

    ALCON- Looks like I'll be replacing the oil pan on a 04' 1.8T in my near future. I've been reading past threads, and I see the oil pump might is a "no-brainer" to change in conjunction with the pan. I want to ask the collective knowledge...what else? I know the flex hose is another issue, how...

    How careful do I have to be to avoid gouging the block? There is just a 4 inch portion of the rubber part of the old gasket stuck to the block and little room to try and get a razor blade to it. I am afraid if I get too vigorous with a flat head screw driver I night cause future oil leaks...

    I am all asleep enjoying my day off when all of the sudden this phone call wakes me up. "Dude I heard some noise after driving over a bump and I think my car is leaking something." First thing I say: " park on the next closest parking lot and shut the car off" I get there 30 minutes later and...

    I have done a good amount of research on this to no avail. More info is always better than less in my experience so let me start from the beginning... This is my 3rd b5, my first 2.8 though. I bought it just before winter with a little over 100k miles. I planned on doing the timing belt and a...

    What does the rubber ring under the oil cap do? I put on a venting cap today and was wondering if it will properly vent with the ring there?

    After two years of using this forum I finally came across an issue I havent been able to resolve with a few searches . My car has been leaking oil pretty bad, I checked it today after about 3 weeks and it wasnt showing oil on the dipstick. B5.5 is leaking oil from a hose about a foot directly...

    Did the oil and air today . The oil went well with moving the coolant reservoir and all . Used the bag trick with great success . This is the first oil change as owner of the car . It was good to see a Mobil 1 filter was used on the last change . This leads me to assume that Mobil 1 oil also ...

There isnt a VW dealership close by and i heard walmart isnt that...

    Hi All, I was planning on doing an oil change on my 2003 passat today, but I ran into a problem after removing the belly pan. I thought I'd found the oil filter, then decided to have a look at the one I purchased to ensure a match before I drained the oil and removed the old filter...

    Hello everyone! I've recently noticed fresh oil residue in my coolant reservoir. I just replaced this reservoir last week too so this is definitely happening real time. I have heard numerous theories like a "cracked head", "oil cooler" etc etc.... I'll be doing a leak down compression test...

    i recently bought a 2002 passat with a 1.8t engine. It has a lot of white smoke when sitting at idle. It also eats oil like a hungry fat boy. After reading online it kinda sounds like it's the turbo. I just want to make sure, can anyone give me some pointers?

    Hooked up a mechanical oil pressure gauge and my readings are all well below the specs. I'm not leaking or burning any oil so I'm assuming it's the oil pump. 1. Can anyone think of anything else to check before I replace the pump? 2. Any recommendations about the pump replacement...
