Hi. Long time reader, first time poster. Background: I have a 2004 VW Passat B 5.5 AWM 4cyl with 177k miles. Car runs very well, very smooth idle, slight power loss going uphill, typically in the winter. I recently had brake pads + rotors replaced (fall of 2018) and more recently had a set of 4...

Ok Folks.... I have read and read and scrolled and scrolled. Questions i have that hopefully will get a numbered response. I understand that the information i require is already on the forum somewhere....If you don't know... or are argumentative... or want me to spend hours researching the...

Removed the Tork head bolt and I can rotate a few degrees each direction but refuses to come out even a little and I cannot really see anything. I understand there is a ring-rubber seal which is probably the culprit. But any ideas how to make something to exert more power that my hands have...

My problem is, I replaced my wheel hub due to bearing failure. I destroyed the original sensor when removing. I installed a new hub with a new sensor. I have an abs fault now with the wheel speed sensor. I thought that I may have bought the wrong sensor so I replaced it with another new sensor...

I want to start by giving as much information as possible to eliminate the extra questions but will continue to answer any future questions to the best of my knowledge. The car is a 2004 tdi. Two years ago the tiptronic broke (shocker) after ~150k miles. Last spring I got in touch with Frans...

Very nice car! Opera red, black interior. Manual cars are pretty rare., Always dealer serviced. Bone stock. New tires and alignment about 6000 miles ago. Manual cars have no "fix" so it performs the way it was originally intended. The Passats have longer gearing than the Jettas and Golfs so it...

Hi all, So the car in question has just over 200,000 miles. Amazingly the car still has the original clutch. There is no slipping; there is chatter sometimes when engaging the clutch, but the clutch looks to be working well enough. About 3 months ago it started to be really hard to shift...

Hi folks, I have been a member from way back when I had a 1999 A6 Quattro 2.8. The background here is that I will (very likely) be buying a B5.5 Passat Variant TDi (AVF or AWX) in Slovakia - soon, maybe next week. I was going to go with a Rover 75 CDTi Tourer (BMW M47R engine), but they are...

I have a 2005 tdi passat with tiptronic. First there was a fault code 18158 suply voltage too low. Well. Iv cleaned the tcm and ccu from moist. Now there are no inverted gear symbols like before on the dash but the manual side from the gearbox doesnt work. Its shows PRND432 and 54321 like it...

Hey guys. Got one im parting out. Seats are shot so no pics of those. Tensioner plastic was worn off and engine was making terribly bad noise. Was parked and never repaired. Has sat maybe a year or more. Hood bumper and drivers fender are all too damaged to do anything with Just let me know...

Belive it or not my wife always drove a manual. They are so hard to find. Found 1 Ford fusion it was ok. Found a Mazda6, it drove real nice but I hated the dash board. A VW never entered my mind till I read Motor Trend and how it got Car of the year. I saw 1 advetized with a 5 speed manual. We...

My wife broke down today saying she could'nt shift gears. When I got to her location I found, 1. Smell of burnt clutch 2. Clutch pedal was firm as normal. 3. Fluid full in Brake/Clutch res. The clutch was able to engage with engine off so I started it in first and drove it home by matching...

As the thread states.. In upstate SC. Want to buy about and 02 up passat. Really just want it for its 5 speed guts so i do want a good transmission. Prefer a v6 wagon. Bad motor, wrecked kids let crayons melt on the front seats? Well...i wouldn't mind a clean wagon. I'm also still buying...

I'm doing a 5 speed swap in my BHW looking at clutch options for my car The whitebread set up is top notch no doubt! Probably the best choice this side of the pond but I don't want to invest too much into my work commuter car the 1.8t gasser flywheels work and are in the 20 some odd pound...

Checking to see if someone wants to buy it whole after I hit a deer, I might part it out on ebay, but I'll cut a deal for a PW member Unibody appears to be straight, but probably not worth fixing (mileage ~120,00 i'll double check that) Has: Techtonics Tuning 2.5 inch Stainless exhaust + twin 3...

Hey all, it is time for me to move on from the Passat. It has served me well for 6 years and many miles. I purchased the car with 60-someodd thousand miles and just recently turned over 138k, it is my daily driver, so that number will go up. It is the 2.0 turbo with a manual transmission. It's...
