Do any of you run snow chains on your cars occasionally? What wheel/tyre combo are you running? Do you get intereference issues between the added snowchain and your suspension. Here in NZ we are fond of snow chains for getting up ski fields and across the alps during mid winter. I currently run...

Cant get enough of em, and the maintenance that goes with em.

Hello, Very interesting and simple video on Dynos. Most of the info given are basic but very important. Not all dynamometers are created equal. This Episode of COBB U should clear up any confusion related to interpreting dyno results, understanding percentage gains, and how to compare data...

I had taken out the MAF over the weekend to clean it. Apparently, I haven't been very careful with the wiring and they are damaged. Have had several issues in the past couple of days and now I am convinced they were all related to the damaged MAF wires. Today I cranked the engine and went on to...

So I recently got my CV boot repaired by a local mechanic. This was the second time in 6 months that I have had to take it in. The mechanic messed up my ABS the first time and refused to fix it since he could not scan the car (Aftermarket radio problem) to see where the ABS was acting up. I told...

Google searching parts and accessories I find the OEM back up sensor kit. Has any only bought it and installed it? 2015 Passat SEL Premium 1.8L turbo

Thought it would be an easy swap cause they looked so similar. boy was I wrong! Got a set of cheap headlights with ballasts out of the yard. Thought a simple lens / housing change would be in order but found out they were completely different so I had to go another route The question became how...

Hi everyone, Last August I had a 2003 GLS 1.8T B5.5 wagon with ~146,000 miles fall into my lap for a song. It ran just fine, but the original owner wasn't much for maintenance (among other things, he'd never done the timing belt). So needless to say, I've had this car in pieces in my garage...

I found this on eBay today in search of a stock tune 1 8T Chip Tuning Remap Audi VW A4 Jetta Beetle Passat ECU Reflash Stage 1 2 | eBay Just wanted to know if anyone has ever heard of them and or if it is any good. Thanks

My local yard has an a6 and a b5.5 passat almost next to each other. It is amazing the similarities between them. I ended up pulling some parts to swap over in my passat and noticed the pass side intercooler. I know this one is setup for the 2.7t but I'm also aware that b7 A4s and the high...

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...

making 25 posts so that i can post my b5.5 ST Coilovers w/ >5k miles on them for fwd .

I need to replace rotors and pads on my 04 4Motion wagon and wondering if anyone has used these from Blauparts Audi Brake Rotor Rotors - VW Brake Rotor Rotors and what you think? Current setup is Meyle Gromet coated rotors and PBR Ultimate Cermaic pads from ECS, they work great but the...

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.

these are Jonboy's tinted tails, guys. professionally tinted medium, with clearcoat over top. no down-time getting yours tinted, or taking a chance on buggering up your own - simply swap these in for yours! they also come with the frames for the lightbulbs, so you can plug them in, or mod them...

If i turn the motor over by hand i can only get the mark 1" from the line on the belt cover, but the motor turns over no problem using the key, How do i get them to line up or is are they close enough i have no idea:banghead:

This is my first Passat, it is an 04 glx with 75,000 miles and I am assuming the breaks are the originals. Last night the check breaks light turned on and I am wondering about how much time do you have before you have to change them (I know it all depends on how much drive)? Thanks in advance...
