Hey, been awhile since I been in here. Decided I need to do something w my Passat which has been sitting for near 2-yrs now. Intended to remove the head to check for piston damage after I ran it into overheating in a bid to get it home. Bad move. Come to realize that it isn't worth my while to...

Our '99 1.8T wagon just keeps going despite my son's casual attitude towards maintenance. We recently changed the OE turbo for an Ebay $110 unit that seems to be working fine, so-far. Now it's time to change the 18-year old control arm set. This is the same kit from CXRacing that I installed...

Hello everyone, I've joined this site to hopefully cure my problems. I am an Google machine, but there are times were I can't find anything specific to my search resulting in replacing the wrong part. Or just pointless information leading me to the wrong answers.

I am finally ready to go ahead with my first timing belt service (2000 VW Passat wagon V6 2.8L, 95,000 miles) and I am tying up few remaining loose ends before I place the order for parts. I would really appreciate answers to the following questions: (1) I will be changing the serpentine belt...

Since I am planning to spend some time under my 2003 Passat I figured it was time to join a forum. I live in steaming hot Oviedo, Florida and am trying to psych myself up for the task ahead. :rolleyes:

I bought this head and ended up not using it. It is very clean as you can see in the pics. $300 plus shipping

I would like to lease a new Passat. I'm looking at getting the limited with black exterior and black interior. It looks nicely equipped just the way it is, but I was wondering if you guys would recommend something else? Maybe the Sport or another trim line is considered a better value? I...

Hey post #2. Ready to see what this forum has to offer.

Make it hi-gloss piano black, hydrodip it camouflage, wrap it in carbon fiber vinyl... your imagination is the limit. I purchased and supplemented this set so I could do a custom trim package for my B5.5 and because I sold her on last month, I no longer need it. So I am now putting it in the...

Hey guys! I have a 2003 1.8T AWM and I've had a coolant leak that has gotten progressively worse for some time now. At this point, I have to top off the tank every time I get in to drive. Two years ago I replaced my CTS and all was well. The CTS still seems good, and the only evidence of...

Hi everyone I just bought 2004 passat 4motion kombi and thanks to this site I was able to fix transmission issue and get westfalia towbar installed. Thanks everyone.

I live in the Virginia area for work. I bought my 2008 Passat Turbo because it was good on gas and safe for my kids. Just replaced rear tires because my alignment was bad. I was told yesterday that brake pads are almost metal to metal BUT only the dealer can do it. After joining here I find out...
