I've had my passat a little over a year now. 2004 1.8t gls manual. I purchased it with 115,000 miles. As to my knowledge everything original but coilpacks. A lot of work has been done and I haven't even scratched the surface yet :banghead: The very first thing was to drive home from the lot and...

I have enjoyed listening to Car Talk and the Magliozzi brothers for as long as I can remember and still can't wait for the re-run each week! Rest in peace Tom. :salute: Tom Magliozzi, Popular Co-Host Of NPR's 'Car Talk,' Dies At 77 : NPR

OK, My well published TB died a slow death and I needed to know why. Symptoms included intermittent ABS and TC lights, every couple of days, it'd go nutz and start crazy idling :icon_eek:...800, 1200, 750, 1400...since it's a 5MT, it's more pronounced. I put the last month or so of my VCDS...

Currently own a '99 B5 1.8T that still runs fine but is showing her age. Tired of repolishing ABS headlight lenses every two years...headliner comes out soon for fabric replacement since it's beginning to droop. I've already read about common B6 2.0T issues such as the electric rear handbrake...

Hello, My in-laws are trying to sell me their 2003 1.8T Passat (109K miles). They've taken care of it and used nothing but synthetic oil and they've followed the recommended maintenance intervals. After years of complaining about the maintenance costs and lack of reliability, they want to sell...

I am resisting from installing anything else but a Carplay system on my 2014 B7 but I was so disappointed to see that VW is not even listed as a contender to receive this unit. C'mon!!! Chevrolet and Ford? KIA?? Seriously? Already in line for 2015 Volvo's and Mercedes, Honda and Ferrari among...

I've searched and read alot of old threads related to suspension mods and upgrades. I'm not new to suspension or VW but this is my first B5 toy/daily driver. My last daily was a 4th gen Maxima and I went with a spring/strut setup and regreted it. The car looked good and was fine on smooth roads...
