Can't find 256mm brake pads from the same manufacturer as in the 312mm fron ones. Is annoying that also it doesn;t say the dimensions like these are 256 pads and they just have...

Hey guys, I’m about to buy shocks/struts and springs for my 2003 B5.5 1.8T. I’m buying springs because the rear one’s are sagging. I was wondering if anybody here has the H&R OE Sport kit, and how much will those lower the car? Because I found so many different information about it. Some...

The car started overheating just as winter is ending anytime I get on the highway. It will float from 90C up to about 115C going back and forth depending on how Im driving. There is hot air blowing out of the vents at all times. This is what made me think it is the thermostat, but when I...

Like others on this and other forums I wanted to fit new main (high) beam headlamp bulbs to my RHD 2004 Passat TDi Estate, which had not been replaced from new, despite 170,000 miles! But on initial investigation the job looked near impossible due to the poor access, and reading the experiences...

Hi I have a passat TDI 2003, and the mileage is 143k now. It is running fine now, but for few days i noticed the engine making a loud noise when doing a reverse or in the first gear, it seems to me that it is occurring when there is more load on the engine. I don't know how to put it exactly...

Another wet autumn, another winter around the corner and just as last year, alarm goes off by it self on my 2002 V6 4Motion Passat. There is no pattern, it just started doing it very often 7 out of 10 times 20-30 seconds after I lock the car. I have solved all water ingress problems, on doors...

2002 Passat wagen v6 5-spd, no mods, factory stereo. Okay. Years ago, sparked something in the cigarette lighter, causing the dome light to flash and a clicking noise from under the floor somewhere. No mechanic ever could figure out why it blinked. No other problems otherwise. Fast...
