Opinions please

Engine died. Turns over & sounds like timing belt is gone. Belt is ok though. Ideas? Long story short, for those that didn't read my last post on July 23, our 2001 Passat died, and we thought it was related to the oil pressure, or lack of...

https://youtu.be/3wGQLIQE2r8 This happened ever since I replaced some PCV parts so I'm assuming I nocked a wire somewhere. The battery is fine I think. Immobilizer? I'm not sure... Third time its happened so I'm sitting here with my battery disconnected to clear codes and see if it fixes it...

Hey guys I removed my AC condenser fan it doesn't spin I have voltage at the plugs is that why my AC condenser randomly shuts on and off? It stays on when I am in motion for example on the freeway it always is on but in stop in go or city traffic it turns on and off. note fuses are fine, voltage...

I say thump for lack of a better word. It shakes the car but only once, just like a misfire, but one time. I've spent most of the past two weeks trying to figure this out, but with no luck. I've searched these forums as well as other VW forums with to avail as well. I got the codes pulled (I do...

Good evening everyone! Hope this is the correct place of this post and it hasn't been answered before ( search did not show same issues..) My 2005 passat tdi's monsoon radio turn off by itself. Well the radio is still on but no sound after about 3-4 seconds of operation. But it is not all the...

My AC blows cold when i am moving however it turns on and off while I am idling. The things I have checked so far, 384 relay, my 20 or 30 amp fuse for the AC and my freon levels are fine. Next on my list is to test the A/C compressor fan aside from that what else can I test and how?

Hello, I have a VW CC 2.0t 2010 that i bought a few months ago and it ran fine for about 3-4 months. The first issue happened when cold weather started. It was a battery problem, my car would not start if i let it sit for the night. I bought a new battery and the issue was fixed. The car...

I have a 2008 Passat 4Motion V6 wagon. When I was going downhill only around 30 mph into sharp turns the front end would shudder, grind, lurch and brake. This is very apparent on downhill mountain roads like driving on the PCH through Big Sur or up in the local mountains. I took it to the...

I have a 03 Passat GLX 4motion (I know its not a b5 but this is probably the only page that actually gets looked at) and it will turn over for ages but refuses to actually start. I have replaced the spark plugs, fuel pump relay, and the coolant temp sensor. I've tried jumping it off, putting the...

2003 1.8T AWM . Car wont start at all. only getting misfires multiple cylinders , brand new NGKs , new 2.0 coils. thinking maybe fuel gonna try a fuel pressure test tonite. all input appreciated.

I thought the noise was a result of bad tires, I just got 4 new ones and the noise still exists. Its not to loud, but when I turn slightly or heavily to the right it becomes louder. The noise is coming from the left drivers front side. Also, brand new CV half shaft assembly on that side. I...

I have a 1999 VW Passat 1.8t with 167,000 miles. Automatic Tranny I don't know if it is just how it is or not but, i noticed that the engine seems to turn rpms slower then I believe it should. If i am in park or neutral and hold the throttle wot, the rpms will climb but it doesn't get to...

Hi guys! I have a little problem with my Passat 2004. When i drive , after around 5 minutes the ESP light turns on on the dashboard. And when I press the ESP button it doesn't help. The button is dead, I can't either turn the ESP on or off by pressing the ESP button. When I scan the car to...

I'll start with what I have attempted to do to fix it. Changed the relay, got a new fuel pump, checked all fuses. The Car was running fine. Stopped at a store and wouldn't start again. It turns over but won't start. Rite after I changed the Fuel Pump it gave a sign of life and fire 3-4 times but...

Ill try to make a long story short. As of right now the car will turn but the engine wont start almost like there is no fuel or something is telling the engine to not turn on. I have been a member here for quite a while but have never posted just read all the great information that there is to...

Started Saturday morning at 7:30. I heard my mother-in-law saying that she had gotten up at about 2:30am and found that that my daughter's 01 Passat GLS 1.8t headlights (DRL's) and wipers were on, by themselves! I went out to the car at 7:30am and found the DRL's on, the wipers were on and...
