Double triple checking advice from a shop visit today. They told me that the fill hole on the passenger side of the car was an ATF fill hole and so that kind of worried me. It seems to be a 70/30 split on the forums with 70% saying replace the fluid and/or filter gradually. The transmission...

so im driving home and stop at a red light. as soon as it turns green and i take off the car hesitates to push and the CEL (wich is already on for saip pump) starts flashing. the car eventually began moving and after a minute or so the CEL stopped flashing and the car drove somewhat normal. i...

...that I saw a World War 2 VW Type 166 last night? The VW Schwimmwagen is probably the coolest Volkswagen OF ALL TIME. With a boat hull body, sealed engine compartment with extension off of the crank to drive a fold-down screw prop, intake and exhaust snorkels, wooden floor boards, 4wd with...

... is that the little screen that sits infront of the air filter can not be bought separately, it requires buying the entire air box for $190 or so. This does not seem right. Is it? If not, does anybody have a part number? Mine broke, and I want to replace it at the next filter change ... Thanks!

Okay, my wife brought our 2002 1.8T into the dealer for a full alignment. We haven't had such an alignment in a very long time and the car was pulling to the right. So, first thing they say is the right outer CV boot is torn, will cost $360 to replace, and they cannot do the alignment unless it...

Hi guys, Thought I'd try posting on here to see what advise you experts can help me with. Long story short, I have a Passat, 2002, TDI 130. In the UK. Gatwick, Crawley. OK, so these are the problems which happened all of a sudden, the Battery light is constantly on, the Brake Fault...

Hello. So, my car has been out of commision for some time now. My engine seems to be missing a bit and rumbles quite an amount if i give it gas. It will spool if i give it gas but i figured i'd simply turn it off and post here so i don't do any further damage. From reading on these forums i've...

I tinted my tail lights a little bit and they look awesome but a friend from work said that if I stick them in the oven for 10 minutes they will come out glossy. I used the NiteShade spray on stuff. I will post pics when I find my camera. Has anyone heard of this? And could you explain the...

Well...I lied. I resisted exactly 3 years. I finally broke down and upgraded wheels. This is combined with Bilstein sports and Neuspeed Sofsports wrapped in Kumho ASX's: And the rear clearance: Are they crazy wheels? ...... No Will they add more weight? ..... Yes Is it just...

was told i have the problem above by a non-vw shop, mechanic noted excessive price to repair of $1100 and went on to state that he advises just selling the car and not getting it fixed for not worth it---a bit of background and that it is a 2001 passat with the 1.8t and 71K miles-----the problem...

Apparently it isn't my head gasket. The dealership is telling me that I got a large amount of water into my air intake, it made it past the filter and then was sucked into the engine. How the hell did this happen? The intake is 24" off the ground and the car did not drive through any puddles...
