  1. Wheel and Tire Forum
    Here goes. We have an 05 Passat GLS wagon, fwd auto and stock suspension. It needs new tires, and my dad gave me a set of 17x8 Mille Miglia wheels that I think will look really nice on it. They originally went on his BMW, so we need to order adapters to get the bolt pattern to line up. I've...

  4. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    First I will admit I have not been the most careful, kind, and loving car owner to my 2001 Passat until recently. This was spurred by the oil pump failure on the 1.8T that happened about a year ago. That repair and the costs motivated me to take better care and maintenance. Since then its...

    or rather the bags... as of later decisions, i've decided upon two things as of late. the most recent of which was 1) painting the lower valences. getting them done ALL around for a price of $300-$350. and that's a solid price. for the flimsiness of the door lowers, i've come to the...

    Just test drove a Passat earlier today and I had a few questions. First, here's a few details about the car: 1998 Passat GLS 1.8t 5 speed, FWD 172,000 miles Seems to be fully loaded aside from the missing AWD. The issues I see with it: ABS and Brake lights are on all the time and flash...

    The MY00 has 86K miles on it and finally changed out the suspension on my wife's car (used to be mine). http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2604122&page=2 Even though it won't be my daily driver, as many here have said, why didn't I do this ages ago?

    Hi all, I'm looking to go from a V8 Jeep Grand Cherokee into a Passat or Jetta. I'm seeking a 2003-2005 with low miles to get into something more fun and something a little more appropriate to my new 70 mile round-trip commute. I am going to go look at two Passats tonight... similar mileage...

  11. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    No I didn't get married. Rather, I decided to try something less painful and purchased a 2000 B5. I want to thank everyone for their great help and advice in my ultimate decision to purchase a 2000 Passat with 54,000 miles, IL4 1.8 Turbo, automatic. I purchased it last week. Its a satin...
