I bought a 2000 Passat 6-cyl 4Motion a couple of years ago, and the car is now due for emissions inspection. Brought it over there and they can't pull the codes from the OBD port. Gets power, but no data. I can read *something* from the car with my cheapo scanner (RPMs, engine temp, MIL status)...

That's what I had to do here to figure out why I wasn't allowed to post in other forums. Cuz I'm just a newbie :) Hello all!

just wondering

Hello, Very interesting and simple video on Dynos. Most of the info given are basic but very important. Not all dynamometers are created equal. This Episode of COBB U should clear up any confusion related to interpreting dyno results, understanding percentage gains, and how to compare data...

Many moons ago, two mostly used doors, driver door and rear right passenger door, on my 2001.5 Passat won't open from outside after unlocking. I had to slightly slam the outside door handle after unlocking each time to open them. I thought the locks were worn out so I replaced them with locks I...

Do you want an extra $1,000 or 5,000 in your pocket, if not more? "This car is a money pit", " I am done with it", "Expensive non reliable piece of junk", "The worst car I ever had", " I fed up!!!", "Is it time to get rid of it?" e.t.c. Most of the times it is not a...

Hi everyone, I'm posting this thread as I'm hoping it may help others. When I initially bought my VW MFD-D Sat Nav and retrofitted it into my Passat B5, I was sad to see that it gave the error "unable to read disc". So I tried many things, firstly I bought a genuine disc secondhand off of...

My 2006 B6 Passat on occasion will just stall while driving. Not all the time either. When trying to restart it takes a few cranks to start and have to give it some pedal to do so. I was driving down the road last night and it stalled. Let it sit for 30 minutes and then drove home (20 minutes)...

Hey Fellow Passat owners, I am Mark, live in Springfield, MO. I have a 2001 Passat GL Wagon 1.8T that my wife loves. (She is short and it is the only car she can see out of.) Started having an intermittent starting problem a few weeks ago. The first symptom that something was wrong was when...

So a few weeks back I had to replace the original headlights for my 04 Passat. The adjusters (as well) as the wiring and internal reflectors were cracked, broken and non repairable. Ordered a pair from 1A-Auto. Good cost, fast shipping and 8 out of 10 in quality. I noticed one of the headlight...

Greetings and salutations. Ok so first post but I am here because I am hoping to do something awesome, to me any ways hopefully some of you will agree. I have a 2001 Passat V6 5 speed. I love this car but she has some miles, the suspension is a little floaty at this point. Some other issues...

I am going to change the gear oil in the three differentials in my 03 Passat 4MO Wagon and have a question about the proper lubricant. There are several informative threads on this, but I am having difficulty finding any real cross-references for VW part VWG 052 145 A2 (the 75w90 gear...

Hi I just recently bought a 99 Passat 1.8t manual and it didn't run now I got it to run but runs really rough the rpms will start really low bouncing then jump to 1000 rpms and run there for a few seconds and then die. So I have engine codes but every time I try to read them it say check...

Looking forward to finding out more on the W8. Seems this car has nothing in common with the non W8's except the VW emblem.
