    Hi, I’m new to the group and looking for some help with a 2001 Passat 4motion 2.8 auto wagon with 135k I picked up for my daughter. It developed what I have seen others explain as a surge. Driving under 2,000 rpm it starts to fluctuate 50-100 rpm with a steady throttle. When this starts, it also...

    I've recently been experiencing surging of about 100 rpms ONLY when under light acceleration between 1200 and 1800 rpm. Car accelerates from a stop fine, accelerates fine above 2000 rpm, and cruises fine at speed where rpms are above 2000. As others have experienced, this only happens once the...

    My normally reliable '96 A4 has me a little concerned since last Friday. I know this is an Audi-forum topic, but the drive trains are basically identical to the Passat and there tends to be more activity at PassatWorld. Anyway, after a fill up (A clue? Don't know) and on the freeway, it began...

    Alright my friends, got my intake manifold out the way. Wanted to open this post for questions I might have. Right now the goal is to get to every single thing that needs replacing/upgrade.

    help a Passat Newbie! I've searched and can't find the answer to my particular issue. I suspect it's more than one: FWIW it's a high mileage 284k km Drive by Wire 5.5 tiptronic wagon. From cold start the idle often surges from about 800-2k for about the first 15 secs. Then it lowers to about a...

If i stop the engine for five +...

    Hello passatworld, The problem I am having is a bit strange. The car appears to want to shut down when driving it or at idle at times. What happens is car tries to shut down like it doesn't have any voltage or something, cel blinks during and the 173 relay toggles out of control. What I'm...

    I just replaced my seized ko3 with a ko4 as a first step to what I'm sure will be a long line of modifications to my 01'. First thing I noticed was the intermittent boosting I was experiencing. If I eased into the throttle it will be fine until I hit about 2500-3000 rpms then it start bucking...

    This has been an ongoing issue, but I have ignored it up until now because it seems to be getting worse. I have a 2000 Passat 1.8t and whenever I come to a complete stop, the car seems to surge and idle roughly. Before it was only minor and would actually stop after a bit, now it does it all...
