Hey- My (new to me) B5 Passat GLX just threw the code P1519. I'm trying to figure out first steps and to see if I can fix this myself (I have a little bit of experience with a Honda Odyssey and a B6 Audi A4, but brand new to the B5 Passat). It does run rough and the cel has occasionally...

I keep popping the 5A fuse for Parking light on drivers side and i'm trying to locate the short(or if not rewire the lights). I dont have access to a Bentley or any diagrams. If anyone would help that would be awesome, its my daily(02 Varient 1.8tm) so I need it legal ASAP. thanks...

I have a 2001 B5 Passat that I am constantly working on. I have not yet aquired a Vag-com scanner but I have had the codes ran several times and it keeps showing that I am running lean. I have changed the diverter valve out for a 2002 diverter valve that is supposed to be a "bigger and better."...

Ok so first and foremost the car is a 2004 Passat V6 with 190,000 miles on it. I have to go through emissions testing in a month and have a problem resulting in check engine lights which will make me fail. The CEL’s are as follows: P0058, P0161, P0421 P0058 and P0161 indicate a problem with...

Hello, I wanted to get some daytime running lights, so i was wandering to which wire do i connect them so they turn on automatically with the start of the egine(i dont want to turn on any switches)? Thanks EDIT: Its a 2000 B5 sedan

Did a few searches and came up empty. I have a '03 2.8 4Motion. Have had a check engine light since day 1 and got tired of fixing it so just ignore the light. It now has driveability issues which makes it so the wife won't drive it. Climate control issues are what started it, but now it...

Hey all, I'm finally getting around to getting this lump of steel and money out of my driveway and into someone's hands that will put it to use. It's a 2000 B5 Wagon, in White, V6 w/5spd manual. The engine is functional but barely. Known issues prior to parking it 2+ years ago 1. CCT worn. Bad...

After following my daughter's car in traffic for a few miles, she stopped to let me know that my driver's side light seemed too bright and aimed differently from my passenger light. It was still daytime, so these were my daytime running lights (DRLs). I sort of confirmed her observation next...

It was mentioned in another thread that these tires fit but the guy who posted it isn't responding so I thought I'd ask if anyone else has changed over their B6 Passat from 45's to the slightly taller 50 aspect ration tires. I'm considering putting 235 50 17's on my B6 wagon to soften the...

04 GLS 1.8T ran perfectly until I ran out of gas. Refueled, no start. I replaced fuel pump, tested relay 372 behind cabin fuseblock. All fuses in fuseblock good. It cranks, but no power to fuel pump. There is power to the breaker panel where 372 is mounted, and 372 bench tests good. This must be...

It starts when cold then as soon as it is warm it stops running. I can smell exhaust fumes from under car. It has been tested by AA and my local garage and never comes up with a code. Can anyone help with this mystery?

Coming in for advice because I've been battling this thing for a couple of weeks.... The engine is an AEB from a '98 Passat swapped into a '75 VW Bus. Engine was gone through before installation, new gaskets (including head), new seals, timing chain tensioner, timing belt. Didn't mess with the...

2001 VW Passat 2.8L V6 30V AWD 4Motion 4dr/Wagon When the car is off there is an electronic buzz coming from the outside mirrors. I have the electronic folding mirrors. Depending on which side is selected L/R, that mirror will emit a low buzzing once its reached its resting place. I've...

Greetings all, looking for some direction on my dad's 2005 Passat. It has an intermittent rough idle on cold starts. He says you can turn it off and restart it and its fine. He had it in for some service at a VW dealer a few months ago and they read the codes P0300 P0301 P0302 P0303 P0304 and...

Just curious if any W8 owners out there upgraded (or tried) to R8's or some other non stock coil packs and what their experience was. Picked up an 2003 W8 6speed not to long ago for my DD, It's been great so far other other than the random misfires I've been getting, mostly under WOT. It has...

2004 sedan How do you remove the plastic strips that run the length of the roof (from rear window to the windshield)??? Mine is loose over the rear door (passenger side) and it appears the clear coat has started to crack allowing dirt underneath it. Thank you
