  1. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    Hello all, new to the forum, can’t find anything about this. I have a 1.8t AWM motor in my Passat wagon. Haven’t checked myself but what is the differences between the “electric” chain tensioner and “non-electric” ?? My car has just over 200k so I’m gonna do the chain and tensioner anyway, but...

    I have been having a problem with engine knock. The car is a 4 speed and the shift point used to be at 40 mph. Due to the load put on the engine, it would knock. I had the timing changed to 6 degree BTC and the shift point changed to 60 mph. The 4th gear drive would hold until you dropped to...

    Gentlemen/Ladies, I have had this vehicle for 15 years, tried my best to maintain it as prescribed. Engine has 156K, 1st timing belt change @ 81000, was planning on the next one at 160,000, so decided to get new vehicle. On the ride back from purchase, belt popped. Don't know if it's bad belt...

    04 1.8t AWM Timing is off while turning the starter over. Backfires and up the intake. Tries to fire when I let off the starter and the engine is possibly rolling backwards. After many tries, it will start, but sounds like its running on two cylinders. After 10-30 seconds of excruciating...

    Hi all - getting ready to do timing belt job on 2000 V6 wagon, manual. 213,000 miles. Still running fine, but time to fix oil leaks too, so enough procrastinating. If you bought the crankshaft locking pin and the cam bar and are done using them, I will buy them. I'm in the Mpls MN area...

    Hi, so i originally had a crankshaft seal gone bad which I had to replace which lead to having to re-time the engine. I got it all done today, in TDC the cams line up with the timing bar so all looks good. I didnt put back the rad, airbox components, bumper, etc because I wanted to run the motor...
  8. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    So as I am trying to save a 475,000 KM passat V6, I need to replace the crankshaft seal as it's leaking. It was a pain to get the 24 mm bolt off but finally got it done yesterday. The mistake I made though was not putting the locking pin back (I removed the bolt by the start the engine trick) so...
  9. Volkswagen Passat CC Discussion
    Hi, I'm hopping over from the B5.5 forum as i'm looking for a CC (as they look fantastic). I've seen one which has all dealer history up to its current mileage (103K miles) there is no timing belt replacement shown - i've tried to look, but can't find any mention of a schedule for the 2.0 TDI...

    I got a 2001 VW Passat B5.5 2.8L v6 and i just did the timing belt and components. I decided I didnt want to make my life easier and remove the cam sprockets. so I had cam lock tool on and crank lock tool on for car’s TDC. Everything went off smooth, when putting new belt on, I started crank...

    On a 2004 Passat wagon GLS 1.8T....what is the recommended service interval for the timing belt and does the belt begin to make noise at any point in it's life when it is close to failure? Or, does it just break with no symptoms of immenant failure? I'm on my second belt which was replaced at...

    Hi all, I saw this on YouTube. This could happen to anyone of us. So, I m posting it for information sake. https://youtu.be/toH7H1wejxk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Volkswagen Passat B6 Discussion
    '10 B6 ~75k miles. TSI engine running great. Need a new water pump. Thinking that replacing the original (faulty) timing chain tensioners is an absolute no brainer. Supposedly, VW redesigned the tensioners. My questions: 1) are the tensioners, in fact, redesigned? 2) does anyone know the part...

    Friends, First off, many thanks to all who helped me through my issues. Everyone at PassatWorld is first class and very understanding when talking to lesser experienced folks like me. Our '05 4Motion 2.8 B5 is my daughter's car and I need it to last through college. Frankly, getting to know...

    On my way to work a few weeks ago, climbing a hill and all of a sudden I lose acceleration, power steering, and battery light comes on. "Huh," I said. Pull over to the side of the road, turn the key off and back on - just starter whine. Ooops. Timing belt failure. 276,000 miles, and the...

    I am new here. I am a seasoned DIYer and I am fairly skilled in fixing my cars. This does not mean I make no mistakes though. My V6 30V passat has reached 170k miles so I did the timing belt job the 2nd time to it. I did the first at 100k miles and all was OK. The engine started and idled...

    What measuring blocks does VAGcom VCDS provide for checking/verifying the timing on the BPY engine? for the old 1.8T and 2.7T, I used blocks 090-093. I would assume similar data is available for the 2.0T? What ARE the values/ranges to correct timing of the BPY engine?

    Here is an AEB -1.8T timing belt tensioner, which has about 70,000 miles/6.5 years on it. It looks OK, except that it is locked up. This is from the car that AndreasPassat helped us with on Thanksgiving weekend. The roller will turn a few degrees either way, then won't move. There are also...
