I have just joined this forum and have had a search around and found some useful posts but not my specific issue. Hopefully someone can help though. My Passat is a 2001 1.8L Turbo petrol. From reading the Sticky of how to tell if fits B5 or B5.5 I believe its a B5.5. I'll just point out I'm in...
Hello all. I am looking to take over the servicing and maintenance of my moms 2013 Passat S with a 2.5L motor. She doesn't drive it often or far being she's 93. It just turned over 6,600 miles and the 10,000 mile service was done just before the warranty ran out. I have looked thru the...
Hey guys, I just picked up a B5.5 Wagon FWD 1.8T 5spd to go along with the stage 3 B5S4. Picked the car up from a kid who only drove it when he wasn't on his Harley. He bought it off of an older lady and she kept it in the garage. at 188K miles there isn't a spot of rust on this thing. INterior...
so yesterday I was washing my car and I bumped my mirror forward (past 90 degrees) and while I was driving I noticed it. I retracted the mirrors and then brought them back out and it extended past 90 degrees on the car before it stopped. I tried messing with it trying to get it to stop where...
My control arm broke as i was coming off the highway. Luckily nothing bad happened. I was a little shaken up. It was totally my fault for not fixing it right away. I knew it was making sounds for awhile now. I'm a little bummed because the wife does not want me to fix it, and she wants me...

hi
my B6 2.0 TDI estate has an annoying knocking coming from in front of the bulkhead on the near side when i drive over rough patches on the road or rough terrain. i've taken both wheels off and had a good look and can't see anything obvious, i've tried shaking and prying the wishbone, anti...
Some of y'all may have seen me over on the B5 forums talking about my partner's '05 wagon...well now you'll see me around here some too. Back at the beginning of December I was driving to work and got broadsided by someone who couldn't see me because the sun was in their eyes, apparently...
About a year ago, I picked up an 02 Passat that ran and drove, but had a long list of issues. Almost all of the useful info that I got off the web to fix it, came from here.
I replaced the radiator, engine mount, brake pads, oil changes, ABS module, and a few other things. Awesome forum, but all...
Hello,
I was looking for some advice on a situation I am dealing with currently. I have a 2004 1.8t Passat. Over the past month on two occasions after running the car around town, when turning the car off the coolant reservoir starts emptying itself from the weep hole. I have replaced the...
I have a 03 Passat GLX 4motion (I know its not a b5 but this is probably the only page that actually gets looked at) and it will turn over for ages but refuses to actually start. I have replaced the spark plugs, fuel pump relay, and the coolant temp sensor. I've tried jumping it off, putting the...
So I have a 99 Wagon that has been sitting in my backyard for a while(long story). I just went to try to turn it over by hand but couldn't. Pulled the plugs but when I tried to turn motor it just seems to tighten the bolt, but the hear isn't turning any. Motor shot or its there a trick I'm missing?
