    Hi passatworld. My 04 1.8t AWM has had a p0011 engine code for the last 2-3 months. It sounds like a diesel when it starts and sounds fine when it is warmed up. This morning I tried to start the car and nothing happened. 1 minute later I started it up and it idled rough and shut off in 2-3...

    Hi there - I've tried the Google search quite a few times, and trawled 10 pages of this forum and 6 of the garage: couldn't find the same thing. Any help and advice appreciated: I have a 2007 B6 TDI Estate - have had it for about 6 months. I put my key fob in a little....yellow steering wheel...

    Hi All- I have a Passat B5.5 1.8T (AWM, I think) with a very disturbing (and unsafe) problem. About five minutes after a cold start, if I am stopped in traffic the engine will simply stall. I can re-start the car by pumping the gas pedal, but will usually get a flashing CEL after re-start. I...

    Hi everyone, I have a passat b5.5 1.8T with an AWT engine. It has done 107k kms (2002 model). I took a trip and at about the 300km mark on the way back it lost power, stalled and went off. I cranked it up and it started and made the trip back home with it stalling and hesitating especially when...

    Back in Dec 2015 I bought an Automatic 2002 Volkswagen Passat 2.8L V6 Long story short I drove the car 2 weeks before it developed a severe oil and anti freeze leak. We diagnosed that the oil leak was from the valve cover gasket seals, those were bought and now replaced The anti freeze leak...

    Continuing with the saga, I started the car (1.8T AWM) this morning and less than a .5 mile it started stalling. A mile later it went off and the red battery light was on. I restarted it and the problem of stalling continues. Is this a dying battery/alternator problem or the fuel pump? Any...

    Greetings! The basics first: 2003 GLX 4Motion Wagon with the V6 engine. The story: My car recently had that dreaded fuel leak associated with cold weather fuel line failure with the V6 motor. The line in question is a high pressure line that enters the injector rail on the top rear...

    2000 1.8t Passat. The last 4-5 times I have put gas in my car, it idles rough and stalls. Once I get to a stretch where I don't have to press the clutch, the car runs fine. I also have no problems on every other start up. I don't ever fill my car all the way up. I have been guilty of...

    Hey guys, This morning when I started my 2004 1.8t, it was idling rough, almost shaking. I then started to drive it and it stalls in 2nd gear while going 20. It starts back up but just keeps stalling whenever I start moving. The entire wheel locks up and o have no control. Please help!!!

    OK, super new here, but wanted a consensus on this. All the "detailed" information I search for seems skewed towards the 1.8t. My 2000 B5 2.8v6 176,000 miles starts great when cold. Drive it around half an hour, it'll stall at a light (or stop) and will crank, but won't restart for between 15 to...

    Not cold not hot, not humid not dry. About 10 days ago my Passat began having starting/idling issues: Previously ran/idled/accelerated/started fine. Began to require more time with the starter engaged before the motor picked itself up. Next, began not idling consistently, dropping down almost...

    After about 1 min of running, engine begins shaking and there is loud sound of vacuum leak, coming from big black PCV valve (?) with round cover. Valve is shown in last seconds of video. Is it PCV valve? Are they a common problem? Thanks. Click on picture to see video. 2...

    At the end of a slew of problems my 2003 V6 Passat wagon (102K miles) barely runs. The engine starts but runs very rough, the idle surges up around 1800 and then drops down below 500 and will stall if I don’t feather the accelerator. No CELs at this point. Here’s the history. Over the past 6...

    95 3A5 Passat 1.8 petrol, manual, no aircon. Usually everything is fine but every now and then when I start the engine, it idles for 2-3 seconds then stalls. When it happens, it takes any number of start repeats from 3 to 8 or so and eventually it will keep idling and then everything is fine...

    Just about to head out to the gym and the Passat started, rev'd up to about 1500 rpm, then stalled out. It did this about 5 times, if I applied gas it would immediately stall out. So after about 10 attempts to start it, think I flooded it, the passat will no longer start. Also floored the gas to...

    I promise I searched for 2 hours on the forum before asking this question so if I missed it I apologize. Last week my 08 Passat (2.0T) stalled pulling into traffic. It restarted and then stalled about 10 minutes later. It ran fine the rest of the day and made it home no problem. Next day I'm...
