So my car was involved in an accident. It had to be towed due to a flat tire. Doing about 35, my son, who I gave the car to clipped another car in the rear right. He tried to avoid the stopped car but due to cresting a hill and the sun, he avoided a straight on collision. I am attaching a...

Just my luck. Just recently picked up an APR tuned ecu for it as well. Figures!

daughter totaled b6. blew both front airbags, front end damage, tires flat, right rear damage. can't open hood, trunk, or right rear passenger door. how much is the going rate for scrap? lol ( l laugh because my wallet makes me sad )

1999 Passat V6, 229,000 miles Engine and transmission in excellent mechanical shape - no oil or coolant leaks, all new heavy duty suspension done a few years ago, brakes relatively new, ditto tires. Car maintained by VW mechanic. Body 'was' in excellent shape (no rust, dents or faded paint)...

Innocent victim of a T-boning. It's difficult to see in the photo, but the rear left wheel is significantly bent in at the top -- I'm not quite sure what has been bent, but something has, and the rear door is pretty well jammed shut. Nobody is injured. No airbags deployed. What's the...

I am still in disbelief. My hubby ran over a pot hole and it blew out two tires, bent one of the rims and caused a side air bag to deploy! The adjuster said that the car is totaled! He is estimating that we'll get around $3,000 which seems too low to me. Has anyone been through this? I consider...

Well my wife finally did it she totaled my beautiful 2004 4-motion wagon. I'm sad to see her go even though I could have bought her back for a decent price but I'm going to let this one go. I was not very active on these forums but I did use lots of forum info to fix everything from a timing...

So, it happened, my car died. This is my second Passat and it's died on me now for the first and only time. It overheated today and the heads are bent, oil in the coolant etc. After a 3-hour ordeal a mechanic advised me to total it and take what I can get. Should I sell it to a scrap yard...

I accidentally just posted this in the garage section, posting here so more can see it: Good engine & manual trans available for AEB cars! I used to be very active on ClubB5 and PW, then got banned by my work from posting during the day etc. Known as Neil (Neil's shortcut on taligent for...

I used to be very active on ClubB5 and PW, then got banned by my work from posting during the day etc. Known as Neil (Neil's shortcut on taligent for replacing drive axels) Anyway my beloved 1998 1.8T stick wagon was a victim of black ice on Friday, and saved me but the front is crushed. It...

Hi all. Today is a sad day for my 2002 GLX wagon. My wife got hit this morning. The wife is OK, but the car got hit pretty bad. Is this fixable? I'm the original owner and would like to keep it. Thanks. GT.

Heard some stuff swirling around the interwebz today and came across this amongst multiple sources, so it appears to be true. Pulled from: VWVortex.com - APR Sold to Mangrove Equity Also on: APR has been sold to Mangrove Equity...

My 1.8t B5 Passat was totaled at the beginning of February :cry: (SEE HERE)and I replaced it with a 2010 Jetta Sportwagen :barmy: :germanflag: I have a few parts I was able to get from the car or hiding in my garage and need to sell because 1) i dont need them and 2) to fund some enhancements...

This was my 2000 GLS 2.8L 5-speed. I never thought about it in terms of safety but I found out quickly enough. I escaped with only two broken legs and some glass in my arm, but today with the help of titanium rods I'm already driving another manual B5 :thumbup:

I saw this the other day and doubled back today to take a few pictures. At first all I recognized was the rim and knew it was some sort of VW. On closer inspection I found it was a B5 Passat V6. 3/4 view of front passenger side 3/4 view from rear of interior front end 3/4 view of rear...

I got hit in my 1999 v6 right in front of my house. just put in a new clutch three weeks ago and now its probably totaled. Also twenty minutes after the cops left the same accident happened up the street half a block. Was a fun run while it lasted had a good few years. I'm going to take out all...

I had/have a passat 2000 1.8t GLS. I totaled it today. What should I do ? should I just junk the car with the tires or take the tires off sell them separately ? any other suggestions ? :( :( :confused::nervous::mad:

Volkswagen : Passat GLS Wagon 4-Door in Volkswagen | eBay Motors The guy selling is the original owner, lives approximately 6 minutes away, he wants $4500 for it. Timing belt service was done at 90k, original clutch. My only reason I wouldn't get it is that it's a wagon. However, everyone...

Hello all, I first joined here in July 2008 when I got my first car, a 1999 Candy White V6 5MT. On Wednesday morning on my way to class, I put it into a guardrail at about 30-35 MPH and it's totaled. (Waiting on insurance to clarify but as you can see from the pictures -> Photo Album - Imgur...

Okay PW. My 2001 V6 b5 with 90K got rear ended this Thursday. Exactly 1 week after I paid to get my blauparts timing belt kit installed. This was my first VW and I love it. The adjuster will be looking at it this week and I expect it will be declared a total loss. Damage includes the bumper...
