  1. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    OK. The real reason I'm here is because I'm ready to admit that I have a problem. I've never seen an engine compartment as intimidating as what's under the hood of a W8.

  2. New Member Introductions
    "Hi. My name is Dave." "Hi Dave." I've been a Passat owner for just five months and already I'm reluctant to admit it to people because I just can't take that look people give me anymore! You bought a Volkswagen, did you? And how old is it? (14 years) And how many miles? (83,000). When I tell...
  3. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    In the 5 years I've had with atia (B5 v6 5spd) I feel like if it is possible for it to break, it has, twice. I'm wondering if there are other common failures someone has had that this car hasn't. I feel like I should get a prize for having a passat that ALL common failures were shown. This...

  7. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    I checked the map/locater and no one is responding so I thought I would try this. Zip 22031 and I am willing to compensate time/effort. Saturday Sunday would be best, but can do evenings if you don't mind working in the dark.
  8. B5 Garage
    Greetings: My '01 V6 B5 Tip has 105K now, but I'm not thrilled about the idea of paying several hundred dollars just to change half of the filthy fluid in the tranny. (DIY is not possible) Is there ANY way (assuming an adequate and constant supply of inexpensive fluid - like Valvoline Mercon...
