I went to have my front axle shaft assemblies replaced. Dude was having a hell of a time removing the axles. After a few hours, he shows me a broken axle shaft - the rest of it is still in the engine (gear box??) Passenger side shaft - whatever connects to the gear box - is still stuck inside...

So I was poking around the engine bay and happened upon what looks like a sensor just above the ignition coils. Even though it looks important, there is no check engine light and the car runs normally. Any help would be great!

I have a 2003 1.8T Passat (AWM motor). I was replacing the flange. Upon installing the new flange, I was securing the final double stud bolt (found here: Volkswagen Passat B5 FWD 1.8T Engine Cooling Coolant Flanges - N91148001 - Double Stud - Priced Each - ES#472037) to the lower part of the...

I'm replacing my power steering pump, so the belt had to come loose. After i get the pump on, i need to get the belt on. so i get out my breaker bar, and try to loosen up the tensioner pulley. Then the damn bolt snaps clean off, the thing feels like its made of plastic! I need some ideas on how...

My '98 with manual (heated) cloth seats just lost its lumbar support. Got in and something snapped. I saw a bunch of posts from ~2004 where there used to be pics but no pics were still working. I'm trying to decide how big a job it is... if anybody happens to have pics, especially of how to get...

While doing some ill advised repairs to my close to end of life Passat, 2 of the 3 exhaust studs snapped leaving 1/8th inch nubs sticking out of the manifold. The V6 engine runs smooth and strong, manual trans shifts cleanly, clutch, flywheel are 50k old, brakes are solid, body 7 out of 10...

I was changing the VCG on my 2000 V6 (drivers side) for the second time after the first time I did it did not seal properly. I rented an inch lbs torque wrench from Autozone, managed to clean the surfaces and pick out all the old sealant. Long story short, it turns out the torque wrench was...

Started a valve cover gasket job tonight - 2002 V6 ATQ, FWD. As careful as I tried to be, pulling the left-side VC led to snapping a thin black hard plastic tube that seems to run from the back of the engine along the left side of the intake mani, snakes its way along the front of the valve...

Hi all, Wanted to get some feedback on this situation. I've got a '99 B5 1.8T that I bought new in 99, has 238K miles on it. The serpentine belt snapped last week, I took it into a local shop who replaced it for $200. They said that "the tensioner looked good and that saves a fair bit so...

Doing the timing belt etc I snapped one of the bolts that holds the coolant manifold on to the block. That's the plastic piece that holds the thermostat in place, in case I described it wrong. I got the bolt out, but now I need a replacement. I was wondering if I were to find the proper...

I took my car in for the initial inspection in my new state while still having my old state's tags on the car. The technician insisted that the new tags needed to be on before I pulled out, so he began swapping them. When he came to the rear plate, where I was still using the plastic VW...
