    Need to replace both CV axles of my 2006 Passat 2.0T FWD. Pulled both axles, but the 'cup' stays on the tranny. Is it held by a spring clip and needs to be 'yanked' out? https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iJ2eCi3inmeEZoYNiFizDgZwIhP2sZg6

    I had water leak onto my passenger floor and submerge my TCM. I took it apart and cleaned it, and it worked.... sort of. When I come to a stop after being in 4th or 5th gear, and try to start up again, the car revs up before clunking into gear. I bought another TCM (used), plugged it in, and the...

    I have been fighting these auto tranny filters for years. They look like they should pop right in but they don't. I have tried heating it, lubing it, greasing it. I have tried spinning it back and forth. I have tried wiggling left and right. I have tried everything. The issue is the...

    Hello fellow Passat owners. 2002 VW Passat with 2.8l v6 and a 5 speed manual tranny. 270000km How does one tell if the engine and tranny mounts need replacing? The engine does seem to shake fairly easy. Even when the hood is raised, when it tops out the hood shock, that is enough force for...

    So I have a couple of videos here. This is on an 03 Passat GLX 4Motion 2.8 Auto. My Vag_Com shows I'm tripping no codes. Tranny nor engine. The first video shows how the rpm's are acting.
