Has anyone experienced their thread disappearing? My overheating thread is completely gone???

Just bought this '97 Passat VR6 today and sincerely hope I'm not irritating more knowledgeable veterans right out of the gates here. Not my intentions for what it's worth. First thing I did was read the page about knowing what you have, but can only assume I have a B4 based on the (1997 was...

So the drivers front suspension on my passat wagon makes the "creaking ship" noise, only when cold out, when going over low speed bumps. I have seen this mentioned in many threads after doing a search, but I haven't seen any DIY's for it. How difficult is it to address this for a home mechanic...

Hi my old car ford contour 99 broke down most likely due to timing belt..or 2nd, lack of maintenence (oil change) so the engine shot.. I would like to know for the 04 passat when to change the timing belt, its at 150k right now, im guessing that the last owner changed it probably at 80k? also I...

Hi you guys doing.

How much is too much... so I replaced the old black temp sensor with the ne green one. I replaced the O ring and made sure the old one was out. When I went to put tge sensor back into the coolant flow hole I kept pushing it down into it and I felt like I was going to break it. Im not sure how...

Right now my '04 1.8T gets driven about 30 miles every workday to commute to/from work. Well... I have just applied for a new job in my company that will be shifting me to working from home. That means that instead of two 20-30 minute trips per workday, it'll go to just a few runs to the...

I look forward to joining all the Passat veterans. I just purchased my first Volkswagen on October 24th. To me, she's the essence of everything beautiful. 2003 GLX V6. Leather. All options. Reflex Silver. But not too flashy new, which is a pro. Quite an upgrade from my 2001 Honda Civic LX that...

Towed to driveway. Same symptoms as two years ago when I replaced fuel pump (with a cheapie). Just want some confirmation I need to get another pump or add'l steps I should perform before pulling the trigger. Car will run ok then die with starting fluid sprayed into fat tube downstream of air...

This is a full set of cloth seats, from a 20v non-turbo European market Passat. I believe the same pattern was available in North American market mk4 Jettas and Golfs, but quite possibly a whole load of Passats too (my USA market passat had the bigger dots, really similar style, but not the...

I am trying to picture this in my mind and can't seem to grasp it...brain fart. can you rotate Porsche Turbo Twists if the size of all four wheels is the same and with non-directional tires or will the twist be backwards?

Hello, Is this a normal thing as when the heater is on after starting car and driving for about 15 mins , I hear this high pitched sound coming from dash as if it was from fan? This only happens when it's really cold out and it does seem to come and go but sometimes just stays :( it is...

What is coam?

Hello, 3 weeks ago I bought Passat 3.6 2006 in Canada and for last 3 weeks I've been looking for OEM bluetooth ( not sure if one even exists). I've seen all the Parrots and Motorola's and I'm not convinced that's the way I'd like to go. I've tried searching through the forums for OEM solution...
