    What's up, neighbors. About 3 weeks ago, I'm on the way to work and my car quits. Pressed the accelerator and got nothing, but the car was still running. Put it in neutral and hit the pedal and she revved momentarily, then died. I coasted to the shoulder and hit the starter, whereupon it...

    PW, I've replaced the orange plastic dipstick holder on my 1.8T. Now when I pull my dipstick out, it pulls up the orange holder along with it. At first I thought that metal bracket at the top was supposed to keep that from happening but it's pretty flexible so it doesn't help since it just...

    Many of you know that my daughter goes to school in Keene, NH. She had a problem with the car on the way back to school after Thanksgiving with the front end wobbling - it didn't wobble for me when I drove it while she was home - so she went to Leon's Auto Center in Keene, since they offered a...

    hello, My Passat GLX 4 motion (2004) rear brake lights seem to stay on all the time even if I don't push the pedal down. And it only happens when I have the lights turned on while driving in the evening/night. If the general lights are off during the day, the brake lights work normal...

Can someone please tell...

    I just rebuilt an engine for a 2002 Passat (automatic, V6). The old engine had seized the water pump and bent/broke valves. I reassembled using all of the sensors/electronics that were on the old engine. I had a few nonrunning engines in the garage that I made a good one out of. On to the...

    After turning the car off the interior lights, such as the P R N D 4 3 2, the lights on the window buttons, and the clock all stay on. I put in a battery cut off switch to temporarily stop the battery from draining but I don't want to have to open the hood every night and morning to disconnect...

    Until I get my HU installed (waiting on insurance to pay for my sub), I got a cassette adapter to play my Zune. Well it will randomly switch decks from A back to B, and sometimes go A B A B then start playing again. It's weird, it will play a whole song then switch during the next, and other...

    Hello everyone, New to the forums. I have a 2008 Passat 2.0T, less than 45,000 miles on it. Recently have been facing a problem regarding my car turning on. I push the key fob in, the car turns on (the engine turns), but it stays on for about a split second before the engine turns off and...

    I bought a new PCV system a few months back and it's a piece of crap. The clips on the ends that insert into the valve covers are completely useless and every time I open my hood, I see the ends of the pipes partially ejected from the valve cover openings. Not to mention the rubber o-rings also...
