What is the function of this piece of a soft rubber with a groove? Visible below on the front wheel hub with removed brake rotor: Pszemol -- 2004 Passat GLX, V6 2.8l

Hi all: I know describing a noise is tough. I have a 2000 V6 ATQ manual. New Upper and Lower Control Arms within last 1000 miles. Changed Transmission Oil within the last year with VW's Transmission Oil. Replaced all Motor mounts (but not transmission mounts) within the last 2 years. Clutch is...

Or doesn't it matter, besides price?

Instead of necroing the old thread [http://www.passatworld.com/forums/42-volkswagen-passat-b5-discussion/343671-2000-b5-1-8t-hits-wall-5500rpm-no-codes.html] i will go ahead and start fresh with the current status, hopefully some one has an idea of a new trick to try. Car Details: Year: 2000...

So over the last few days my passat has been boosting strange..first off its a 2000 1.8t chipped k03 with a awm ecu..I have driven the car for the last 3-4 months without any issues so i know its not the ecu...sometimes i can either boost 3,5,10,20 psi...when i accelerate i can go WOT and it...

There is not a lot of info out there for this theme. And since you need Software coding for replacing a module, used or new (ABS, TRANS, ECU, etc...), I thought it might be nice to post known coding and or links to coding threads in one spot here. Feel free to mention the software you used for...

1999 Passat 1.8T FWD. 225/40x18 tires. I would describe the braking as pretty high force, pretty soft pedal feel. Took the car out for data logging today. Tried two emergency stops (full force) from 50 mph. I was not able to lock up the wheels. Pedal went quite far down. 2nd emergency stop...

Time to consider changing up my ride a bit. I'm looking for a set of Neuspeed Soft Sports for my 99 B5 V6. Can trade a set of Eibach Sport Springs for 'em, if that's what you'd like.

Anticipating breaking and cutting these since the are badly rusted , stripped connections. Removing engine and gaugeing used prices versus new. Needed when I get the new used engine put back in the near future. And factor in other cost along the way Thanks:salute:

Hey all! My Passat is not "working" anymore. It seems that I need to resoft the ECU. I searched all over my city, but can't seem to find the soft for this ECU. And I can't find another one to buy with the same code. Has anyone the soft, or where can I find it? Thanks!

Hey PW. Like many Passats out there, my driver's interior door handle is scratched up. VW covers it in this soft paint which peels easily when you scratch it with your fingernail. I've been debating about what to do about it for a while and I think I have decided to repaint it. Gonna try to...

Just wondering if anyone new if the Neuspeed Soft Sports are actually stiffer than the stock springs. TIA

Hi there! On our 2001 B5 (not B5.5) with AUG engine, the brakes are working strangely. With the car off, the pedal is nice and firm. As soon as you start the car, the brake pedal has a little give - which I expect because of the power brakes - but this is too much. The ledal goes about half...
