    I went to the VW dealership last week and they couldn't figure out which part it was. The connector that snaps onto the oil pressure sender is the part I need. I assuem this connector comes with the wire too. Can someone help identify this part so I can get a new one ordered? The car is a 1.8T...

    ive had a issue with my passat to where only when the engine is at operating temp my low oil pressure light will come on, and when I'm at speeds 65mph and above it goes out until I go below 65mph. so I don't know if I just need to replace the pressure sensor or replace the oil pump.

    Hello all. It has been a long time since I have posted on this forum regarding my 01 Passat. Recently, due to oil pressure issues, I have pulled the oil pan, installed a new pump and cleaned the pickup tube out, replaced the windage tray and also replaced the timing chain tensioner. After all...

    Hey guys, I need any info or well-informed input on my conundrum. Just used a non 502.00 spec oil in my 2008 Passat FSI 2.0. Have I done any permanent damage? Should I not be worried? It’s fully synthetic, just non 502, I’m pretty sure. Done 2000 miles with it and just realized it—new to VW...

    Hey all, I have been looking into changing my gear oil because my second gear synchros are a little worse for wear. I know most people run redline, but are there any additives that would help with my situation, or even a different brand of oil? Thanks!

    OK, so I had a meeting last Sunday morning and I promised I would go grocery shopping after, so I took the SUV. I come home to find that my dad had wanted to help me out and change my oil which I mean, gotta love Dad. Only problem was, he ****** my oil filter with a wrench or pair of pliers and...

    Been dealing with my son's Passat low oil pressure issues for several years now. It all started with an exploding CCT that shredded the valve cover. New CCT, new valve cover, pulled oil pan and cleaned pickup and replaced oil pump and installed oil pressure gauge to monitor pressure which was...

    So here is my saga: Decided to rebuild a 1.8T engine for my '02 Passat with 300k miles. The new engine runs but there is no oil getting to the top (cylinder head). It does drip oil from around the oil filter, like there is too much pressure there, but the CCT makes a lot of noise and there is...

    Hello all. I'm a new member as well as a new VW owner. I have a 2000 Passat 2.8 GLX just rolled over 74,000 miles, and it has a pretty strong burnt oil smell in the cabin when recirculating air is not on. Oil level is fine, no oil drips in the driveway and I can not find the cause. Valve covers...

    I'm pretty sure my oil leak is coming from the part that my oil filter canister screws into. The filter canister is not wet itself, it's coming from behind that, and dripping on the black coolant pump directly in front of the engine. The leak is not a gusher, just enough to drip a few drops on...

    So when the car is running and I remove the oil cap there is quite a bit of pressure coming out. Is this normal? Never had a turbo'd car before and also don't ever remember any of my other cars having any pressure when taking the fill cap off.

    Hello Everyone… I’m hoping someone can assist me. I have viewed many discussions related to coolant leaks, but nothing seems to speak to my issue specifically. My car’s ignition is off … I pour coolant in the coolant reservoir … I leaks out immediately, not from the coolant reservoir tank...
