    Hi, My 2002 1,8T (AWM) Passat Wagon had developed a coolant leak which I finally tracked down to a disintegrating turbocharger coolant hose. Here a picture of the hose for reference: The location of this hose makes it very difficult to access it. I took out the airbox and hoses attached to...

    Hello all. I am looking to take over the servicing and maintenance of my moms 2013 Passat S with a 2.5L motor. She doesn't drive it often or far being she's 93. It just turned over 6,600 miles and the 10,000 mile service was done just before the warranty ran out. I have looked thru the...

    Hey all, I rarely post anymore unless I'm just beating my head against the wall (or if I can offer some help!). The wife's 2001.5 ATQ has been weak on heat this season.

    I accidentally left my set of keys on my mailbox door. Went back to retrieve them and the keys are gone. What can I do to prevent the person who has my key from taking my 2005 Passat TDI? Is there a procedure out there to activate the immobilizer for that particular key? Thanks in advance.
