    04 V6 ATQ motor A few questions 1- What is the best way to clean the carbon build up within the motor? While cleaning the Throttle Body It occurred to me that if it was dirty then the rest of the system will also be. I do run a bottle of Techtron about once a month. Is there anything else I...

    It has a 3 pin connector and I would think that probably there is already cooked by someone in the forum to be able to stop the ECM from panic attacks when sees no coolant in the tank. Now working with the engine speed sensor and removing also the oil filter. The filter definitely will go back...

    I removed the trim piece and the 4 t-20 screws, but the unit will not come out. The bottom of the unit is loose, but the top is caught on something. Any hidden screws that I missed ? Thanks.

    Looks as though our Passat is headed to the wrecking yard. Before she goes though, I would like to take the stock sound system out of it and install it in my VW Eurovan. Is this something that can be done, by someone who knows little about sound systems (me!), without too much trouble or money?

    My thermostat housing had a crack and was leaking. When I try to remove the first of the two bolts holding the housing, a big spark came out and almost damaged the hex bit. I was not sure if the wrench occasionally touched the alternator. Tried again and made sure not touching the alternator, it...

    Hi everyone -- stared the task of partially removing the headliner from the rear and sides of the car to replace the antenna base on my B5 1.8T sedan. I've removed the bolts that hold the headliner in place on the left side of the car, both front and rear, and also removed the trim pieces on...

    Hi Everyone, My B5.5 V6 4motion sedan has a wobbly front drivers side wheel. I suspected the tie rod end and replaced that but soon discovered that a control arm bushing was shot also. In doing my research before replacing this Forward Drivers Side Rear Control Arm (yes that is a mouthful) i...

    How in the world do you remove the rear door window from the window regulator assembly? I've searched my Bentley for all years. It only has a 5 sentence blip on how to install the lock pin (window to regulator) but that's it! I'm not at all sure about removal.

    I have found a couple threads discussing the underhood felt insulation (that inevitably gets eaten by rodents) where guys removed it entirely. How has the paint on the hood held up after this decision? Any other ill effects that make the $100 price tag worth the cost, or is going naked an...

    On the drivers side, I rounded out one of the heat shield 6mm Allen head bolts. Rather than waste the rest of my Saturday battling with that hard to reach item, I bolted all back together to attack later. Question: If I remove the pinch bolt and upper control arms, do I even need to remove the...

    I replaced crankcase vent valve and breath hose on one end on 2008 Passat 2.0T. But I left a damage on the other hose at its clamp which has a square shape and clicks on all four sides. Look at the lower left end of the linked picture. This is the hose that I did not replace which is...
  15. Volkswagen Passat CC Discussion
    Hello Everyone, I just purchased my first VW CC, it was used. I noticed when I had a passenger riding with me that the lumbar support button itself is broken. It works in one direction, but the others are broken. It's as if the button itself is broken. Anyways, I ordered a new button, and I'd...

    I noticed a little bit of coolant in my garage under my '99 Passat 1.8T so I looked to see where it was coming from. I couldn't see much but when I placed my hand under the coolant flange it came out wet and sticky so it was pretty clear where it was leaking. I grabbed a 1/4-inch socket wrench...

    I searched around but couldn't find my particular problem. I dropped the oil pan recently and replaced it with a FelPro gasket. What a forking PITA! :banghead: The one big bolt in the rear middle just to the passenger side that sits at an angle was [email protected] to get in there so I left it out. Well...

    The passenger side camshaft pulley turned about 30 deg clockwise. I read up before posting and it seems to happen occasionally when the bar is removed. I have the pin in and tried to turn the crankshaft with the pin in to ensure it was locked and it didn't move. I loosened the bots with the...

    Hey guys I got my new exhaust from TT today for my b5.5 1.8t. I had everything disconnected and can't figure out how to snake it out. The only way I can see it to work is by snaking it to the front but I can't see how the muffler will fit past the rear suspension. What do I do?
