So it's been cold in Chicago over the past few days. Once the temperature got back to the positive side yesterday, I went to start the car, a 1999 AEB Passat GLS, to take the kids to school and just got a flickering dashboard and no sounds of the engine turning over. After a few attempts, still...

Battery Drain - Fuse 14 CCM 600 mA draw for hours I recently got a new battery and it has died a couple of times. LCD clock doesn't even show. Battery down to 5 volts. I got it charged up to 12+v again and the car runs fine. Alternator tested OK. I did notice that when I connect the negative...

I opened the hood to do a PCV check and found some sparks (little ones) on the front drivers side of the engine.. there are 2 wires near that area..one is going into the tensioner.

Just my opinion, but after replacing the plugs in my '00 Passat V6 and my son's '00 Jetta VR6 with Bosch Platinum +4's, both cars were mis-firing. After a week when the check engine light came on, I read a misfire on the Passat cylinder #1 with a VAG-COM, and also random mis-fires. What junk...

Hey Guys, I'm still having some problems in 93 octane mode of my APR chip. Stock mode works great. 93 octane mode mis-fires like crazy when accelerating hard and I get Flashing check engine light. I just had the Audi dealer replace the spark plugs and one bad coil pack.. and they claimed it...
