Got an 02 Passat GLX Wagon. Just curious if anyone had any suggested locations for a small/medium sized Rockford Fosgate Sub-Woofer amp. FYI, I'm adding a new Pioneer double din DVD player HU, pulling out the stock CD Changer, but will be leaving the Monsoon speakers & amp in place. Adding...

I have a 1999 B5 Passat 1.8t AEB automatic with 160k miles on her. I'm wondering what would be the next key things to look into to keep her running as long and as happily as possible. What I've done since I bought her (between 150k miles): - Full proper tune-up (NGK Spark Plugs, Mann air and...

Anyone have a list of maintenance items to change/service on a 99 B5 auto wagon, if it's been garaged and not driven for 2 years? Car has been in garage at altitude no moisture enviroment. Fuel preserver was added to a quarter tank of fuel and run for 15 mins, battery disconnected but that's it...

Hey folks, I have an '02 1.8T Passat Wagon with 180k miles that recently developed a very bad fuel leak that could have been catastrophic. This was a recall, but in our case it wasn't fixed when we bought the car. The return fuel line coming off the fuel rail on top the engine routes along...

The plastic/rubber on the antennae of both my B5.5s has become brittle and is cracking - I want to replace the antennae, but I don't want to go to the dealership - they are always so expensive. Per the title, any suggested sources for replacement antennae would be appreciated. TIA

Just passed the 125,000 mark (nearing 130,000 already.... :thumbdown ) on my 98 1.8T and except for the standard oil/air/fuel filters I haven't done much in quite some time. Previous owner did water pump/timing belt/thermostat at 98,000 miles. What would you guys suggest to do, I'd love to get...

My wife's car is a 2000 Passat wagon with a V6. It's pushing 100,000. Until about two years ago, I was in the dealer-based maintenance loop -- for wise or dim, I figured if I relied on the dealer's shop through the warranty period, I'd get better service and lots covered. It's hanging in...

Just wondering what you all recommend for my new 18x8.5 deep dish wheels? I was thinking on 245 40/18 but do you think that would be too wide for the front as I fear I may have to mod my plastic liner in the wheel wells for that size, no? Or is 235 a safer bet? I do not want staggered (although...

Long time lurker, searcher, and reader of the PW forums but I just bought a VAG-COM and was interested in logging some data. I'm looking to increase performance, but I haven't made any modifications yet so I wanted to know if there is anything I should log and save as a baseline, or anything I...

I'm pretty in the dark when it comes to subs and amps and choosing a setup. I'm going to be receiving an Infinity KAPPA PERFECT 10.1 sub and box thanks to v-dub duluth here soon. I have the monsoon sound system. I think I just want the amp to power the sub, unless there is a big gain by powering...

I just purchased a 2002 W8 sedan and was wondering what the first thing you guys would suggest?

hey, new to forums, and pretty new to modding, so im requesting any advice from those who know..My cars a 98 and im planning to get more power out of it, into the more dramatic numbers by probably getting a new turbo(everythings stock now). It has about 115k on it, so she's old :( , but do you...

My 2004 Passat is the nicest car I've owned, and I'm not the best at taking good care of my cars. I want to take good care of this car so I can drive it for many years to come, but, I'm lazy and easily let things slip. So, thought it'd be nice to have a list to follow of the most important...

So confused, suggested tire size & rim offset for 17rims? Man, offset, spacers, tire sizes...... confusing to the average guy. I just want to go 17" rims. What are the suggested tire sizes and rim offsets for the B5.5 Passat? The new W8 with sport suspension has 17" rims. What are the...

I just did a was and wax job without checking the paint prior to waxing. Half way through, I noticed the paint on the fenders felt like fine sandpaper. The trunk and hood are like glass. So I'm guessing I need a clay job along with another wash and wax. I did a search and found little on...

People tells me different. 2.5, 2.7 or 2.8? I'm having ventus 225/40/18 rubber. How much air do you guys have? Thanks, Staffan
