    My passat has a turbo underboost code and before changing the turbo I was inspecting all the lines. I noticed that there was an elbow completely missing that looks pretty important. It goes into the engine right near where the oil dipstick tube is. I have no idea what the purpose of the elbow...

    It is really difficult to cut the top portion. I've managed to remove the other end post-cat and replace the band clamp, cut the side of the flex pipe closest to the cat with a sawzall, but cutting the other side is damn near impossible. I've managed a cut most of the way through but the sawzall...

    Trying to lift a B5 4-Motion wagon as seen here. The exhaust basically dropped in the middle and scraped on the road for a while until I removed the rear section. I now have it look like in the attached picture, and was wondering how to temporarily lift the remaining exhaust section so I can...

    So I have the dreaded heater core plastic pipe leaking :( It's leaking from the pipe that doesn't have the bleeder on the hose (The inlet pipe)? It looks to be 2 pin holes between the rubber boot and the hose. I know the fix is to replace the HC but I don't have time to do that now. There was...

    The flex pipe (back of engine) is broken. While cheap downpipes are available for other 2.0T (recently bought one for my 2006 A3 FWD 2.0T), i can't find a reasonable (i.e. cheap) downpipe listed for the 2006 Passat 2.0T. Or I am not looking for the right model. Is the there a model that cross...

    I went to a repair shop to get the drivers side down pipe replaced. They wanted $1600 just for the one with single cat & flex. He told me the transmission had to be dropped in order to get at the manifold to pipe bolts. I left. How hard is it to replace the first drivers side pipe? Auto trans...

    I the cat, flex pipe and whatever comes after the flex pipe all one piece? https://www.dropbox.com/s/vqmrt9wf6cgvhlg/IMG_20181017_164800.jpg?dl=0 Are muffler shops able to cut flex out and weld in new? If not, I would replace the cat, flex pipe with a catless downpipe (and tune out rear o2...

    Hi everyone, I am about to install an exhaust pipe to my 2003 1.8t. Do you recommend buying new (Bosal for $95) or getting from the junkyard for around $10? How difficult is it to remove a rusty pipe from the catalytic converter? Also, I need to get it welded to the muffler. I have also...

    Last October I got a 2001 Estate with a 2.0L AZM engine. Never had or fixed cars before, but just in case when I got the car I bought a VAG-COM from ebay. A couple of weeks ago it started shaking at idle. I already had a CEL from SAIS before (since last year already), but when I connected the...

    Hi! It's been quite awhile since I posted here last but still have our 03 1.8T and going relatively strong. I noticed tonight that the mesh covering or woven steel cover on the front part of the exhaust pipe is slightly torn and unraveling. There are no strange noises and no CEL - all seems...

    Hi, So I was installing a 034 Motorsports 3" testpipe on my B5.5 1.8T this weekend and got almost everything done except when I tried installing the pipe on the turbo exhaust studs I was able to get the one 17mm nut on top closes to the airbox. I could only get the other top nut closest to the...

    Hi all. I'm looking for advice from someone who has done the coolant leak repair. I have a 2000 B5 with 2.8L ATQ engine. I found that the leak was coming from the front coolant pipe. Not the big T pipe that connects to the heads, but the smaller pipe that plugs into the front of the engine...

    I need to order a weld in flex pipe for my 2000 Passat V6 glx 4motion and wondered what the diameter of the original exhaust pipe is? Looks like a 4" flex would work but not sure of the inlet / outlet diameter....? If anyone could help much appreciated. If you've welded in a new flex...

    I have been trouble shooting some codes. In doing so, I am finding some anomalies with the car. Not sure if they're critical or not. Would appreciate any help. I noticed today that the "heater pipe (3B0906391)" is not plugged into anything. I spent about 45 minutes looking everywhere for a...
