I have been searching for a W8 for years, and yes I knew what I was getting myself into haha! It is also a 6MT w/194K engine and clutch replaced at 30K, owner informed they were all freeway miles and was open about the other issues mentioned below So being one of 329 in this configuration and I...

Hey guys, Finalizing the exhaust work with the flex pipe the other day and I had the front end up on jack stands. I noticed that there was a single tiny drop of red ATF on the cover plate below where the differential sits. I've never noticed ATF leaks on the ground but I did just start driving...

Are all of the two-connector ones interchangeable? Some are black-and-white, some are dark gray. Can I substitute generics from AutoZone, or should I use OEM? In the latter case, does anyone have part numbers on these? I am not having much luck with various online searches. I just finished...

Got the low coolant warning and looked for the source, which I think I found after pulling off the air pipe and housing. Looks like it's the top hose from the heater core at the firewall that runs back towards the radiator. Part number is 3C0-122-073-FC and if you go to ecs or google it you...

Hello/interior light/error on site Hey, I'm from Slovakia (its not that bad as in ''Euro trip'' or any movies). I need some help with B5 99. Interior lights are working manually, both front and rear, but they wont light up once i open the doors. I have repaired almost all of my door locks 3/4...

I just picked my road warrior up from the shop, everything seems to be working!! But the guy said do an oil change in about 500 miles, and he put a small filter on. I think its a maan filter. Should i swap it out for a cheap large filter like STP for a few 100 miles or just leave it? Sent from...

On my B5.5 V6, just replaced the large PCV hose and suction pump. The little hose http://a.co/0M4kfFo proves to be more elusive. How do I get the part that attaches to the crankcase? This How-to was super helpful, but doesn't go into accessing the the small hose...

P0456 - Small leak detected - Not N80 valve - FIXED Hi, My 02 1.8T got a CEL. Scanned it and showed P0456. Replaced the gas cap with one from Autozone. Still CEL came on. Removed and checked the N80 (purge valve) and it was slightly leaking (i can suck from the vacuum side without applying 12...

Hey all. I previously had a B5.5 W8 wagon, and have had 3 Audi's and a Touareg since. Considering a 2010 Passat Wagon for my next daily/work car, but before I make it an official option, I was hoping a member could give me a couple quick measurements of the hatch? Couldn't seem to find what I...

1. Full-size spare - Gotta love any car[I]that makes room for a full-size spare tire. Just used mine last week. 2. The radio turns on without the key - Perfect when waxing, or waiting for the wife at the store. The fact that it automatically shuts itself off to save the battery too...

Dropped the belly pan and see a drop of coolant on the drivers side bolt for the snub mt. bracket. Cannot see any evidence of coolant dripping from above. I recently (3 wks ago) replaced the snub mt. Pretty certain this bolt goes into a blind hole plus I don't think there could be coolant at...

Hello, been lurking on the forums for years now, but first ever post. So a couple days ago, (two days after I replaced driver side axle assembly), I noticed a very light but noticeable knock or click in the steering wheel at slow speeds while turning, usually in the first 45 -120 degrees of the...

Hello all, my wife's Passat got burnt small bulb in driver side headlight assembly. it's not the DRL or high beam bulb, instead is the small one that is just above the high beams. i have taken the pic for you to visualize my problem. how do I take the burnt bulb out of its housing? the access...

Just bought a used 98 Passat 1.8T & I want to change the oil asap, since apparently there are sludge issues & I have no idea when it was changed last, but I want to get a magnetic drain plug, but I don't know if it's the normal size plug or the big one. Is there some way to know by VIN or...

can't tell how long this has been dripping oil. could this be leaking from around that plunger (gear selector shifting rod)? if this is gear oil, is the seal around there a typical failure point? It's all dry and clean in that general area.

Hello all, I've seen some threads mentioning the difficulty of removing these lights without scaring yourself and it seems true. Are they clipped because I feel like the black edge is being held back :| I've tried 2 sessions in sticking my hand in there and pulling and it won't give? Even...

Greetings everyone! I have a slightly strange situation going on with my poor Passat GLX V6 2003 .. recently I've heard a small squeaking coming from the engine bay and in attempts to resolve it (Wonderful DIY's helped made it possible from this site! <3) ... I found I didn't fix anything...

Hi. on my '02 Passat, I was clearing leaves from the drain holes under the battery cowl and noticed the discolored coolant. opened it up and found some oil inside. I understand the oil cooler is a common problem. There is a very narrow band of white on the dip stick, so there is water in the oil...
