    Good morning! Sorry for this post, but despite searching on a variety of terms and looking in the Information Base, I cannot find the handful of posts on this topic (except for the one using the Prestone flush kit--I found that one).

    I have a 2003 Passat Wagon 1.8T and the exhaust connection has rusted away near the flex pipe. The flex pipe itself does not appear to be broken but it's hard to tell because of the braiding.

    2004 V6 4motion Hi folks, My story begins about 12~13 months ago. I'll state the facts, and you can tell me if these issues are from a possibility of one source, or if I may likely have multiple problems. 13 months ago the car would sometimes need more than one turn of the key to crank, until...

    I just finished dropping the oil pan due to low oil pressure warning coming on after 20 minutes of driving. Had it towed to an unfamiliar repair shop as I was out of town. They flushed the engine, did an oil change, and supposedly dropped the pan and check the oil pump pickup screen for...

    I have a 2003 Passat GLX and I can't find anything on getting to the drain tubes on this particular model. I've found lots, i mean LOTS, on VW jetta, but not the Passat.
