I have a 2001 passat V6 260,000 miles. Recently my car has been refusing to start when cold, the only way to get it going is a lot of cranking and starting fluid. My first thought was coolant temp sensor, it was only a few bucks so I picked one up. Attempted to replace it but the retention clip...

Hi Folks, In another long thread, I document the process to repair my AWM engine after a timing belt tensioner mishap. All is good now, with about 500 miles on the rebuild. 1.8T is running better than ever. It feels quieter, stronger and smoother after the valve job. I've received a few PMs to...
