    Hi, I have been having this problem with my 2002 Passat 1.8T. It has 106k miles on it and has not had any major issues with the engine or transmission. I have been having this strange vibration noise that will only last a second or so around when my car shifts. It will happen in any gear. For...

Rotated engine several times by hand after work was performed and all lined up. Started right up but has a slight "ticking" noise at idle. Did not go beyond idle for...

    It appears i have a slight coolant leak. Not sure what the part is (forgive my auto expertise). Looks to be coming from a small hard pipe that is jutting out from the block , and it has a rubber end cap on it. The area is the drivers side of the vehicle above the motor mount, and oil filter...

    So I was test driving a 2010 Passat and I really like the car, the onlt problem is that there is these weird jolt or stutter any time I go from a complete stop to pushing on the gas. I will approach the stop sign, make a complete stop, then once you press on the gas the car will begin to move...

    04 V6 w- 167,240 on the mileage On startup after my car's been sitting overnight or after 8-10 hrs (work shift) I can hear a slight ticking from the motor. Not every time though. Some times it's more noticeable then others. I hear it more when I'm parked between 2 cars or a wall on one side...

    04 V6 Passat 165.000 miles I get a very, very slight wobble in the steering wheel when the wheels start to straighten out from taking gradual turns. The tires are new and I don't get any wobble or vibration when going down the road so I don't think it's a balance issue. Power steering fluid it...

    Morning All, just wanted to get some opinions on something I've been noticing lately. I have a 2000 Passat Wagon ATW 120k with APR tune, magnaflow catback. Usually at full throttle, Max boost around 16psi, I'm getting a slight miss. It's intermitted and not violent at all just doesn't feel quite...

    So I rear ended a car the other day going about 10 mph, my car barely had any damage besides the bumper being pushed in slightly and the air bags deploying. I replaced both driver & passenger Air Bags from a car at the junkyard that was identical, 2003 V6 4Motion, and I also removed the control...

    So if I'm on the motorway doing 70-80mph and I need to use my breaks to slow down to abouut 65mph, then I go to accelrate there is like a slight jerk. This has happened for a year or so, but sure it's getting worse, any ideas wht it could be? I don't have access to a code reader and not sure...

    Okay guys here we go. For those wanting me to search...I did...lots of old posts but nothing recent...here we go... Cold start up is fine and initial driving. After car warms, there is a slight shutter at idle (just occasionally) and upon acceleration with low rpms. (It really feels like a...

    I have a 2001 1.9 TDI (130) which i got very recently and found out the heating doesnt work, and after some investigation it seems as though the heater core flush should solve it, which I am about to do but driving it home on the motorway last night the temperature gauge went a little about the...

    1998 aeb 1.8t 153k miles. A few months ago car started to have a slow start. I kind of let it go and now the amount of time it takes to turn over is getting longer and longer. I have a power loss and believe I have a misfire on at least 1 cylinder. If I start the car when the engine is cold it...

    Hello all! Just a quick one for you guys. My car has a very slight vibration coming from my steering wheel and it drifts off to the right slightly...When I mean slight, it's really not bothersome. Driving is perfectly fine, but once in a while it'll drift a bit to the right and I'll feel some...

    I looked through most of threads on the front page of garage topics but i didnt find anything. I hear a slight noise coming from the center dash around the radio and climate controls. I thought it was either my cd or a/c, but i still hear a slight noise with the radio and climate settings off...

    2003.5 Passat V6 GLS, 53,000 miles, cloth interior. My mother managed to make contact at speed with a curb on the driver's side. It blew out both tires on the side, and the curtain and seat airbags deployed. A good samaritan stopped, replaced the one (front) tire that was completely blown...

    OK..99 1.8T with Tiptronic and 150K on the clock. Original engine "complete" and trani. Had trani fluids changed at 70K and 140K. Lately I have noticed either a slight steady whine with a wooshing sound when I start off and only thru gears 1 and 2 and then going into 3rd it just stops making the...

    02 1.8T Auto, wagon. I can't seem to locate where it originates. No loss of fluids. Could it be the crank case ventilation system weeping? The car did have sludge issues and I have cleaned the system. 3K since I bought the car. Engine runs great. Thanks in advance. Jet Wrench
