While driving my wife to work, on one of the coldest day in Cleveland., a long with white out conditions. Needing to changes lanes I glanced to my right just to notice that my side view mirror was iced over. Like any loving passat owner, I turn on the defrost. All of a sudden I here a loud...

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.

Just a random pic of my rig i took today. I like it so much i figured id share it Instagram style :). Damn I need to buff my pass headlight [/URL][/IMG]

Took out the adjusters in the rear coilovers. I'm also trying to figure out a new color I want to go with. I'm tossing up various satin finish ideas, but can't decide. So far my options are satin grey, satin white, or satin teal. Depending on color, I may change the finish of the wheels too...

I bought a 2003 Passat wagon 1.8t with close to 99,000 miles. The car itself was super clean, but it did need some minor but typical maintnance items done. Since buying it a little over a month ago(with the help of this website) I have swapped out the cabin filter,airfilter to K&N, replaced a...

Of this Lamborghini Gallardo Performante: It was amazing. And scary, especially when I wasn't driving.

it was leaking a reddish kinda fluid. none of the fluids in my car are red. is it a mount or something? i took it off and cleaned it. under the metal plate was like a pinkish color. it was milky like oil mixed with water.

i just changed my outer tie rods on my 1998 passat with the meyle heavy duty ones because i had some cheap pep boys off brand ones and i took it to get an alignment but they said that the computer shows its aligned and it still drifts off to the right and sometimes to the left. the steering...

My work/winter beater (1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0 six in-line automatic with 150,000) was due for an oil change and it's too dang cold for me to motivate myself into doing it in the street. So I did something I haven't done in probably 25 years, I went to Jiffy Lube. $42.12 got me an...
