Hi all, my 2002 Passat GLS 4motion V6 2.8L, 125K miles throws a ABS Light and Brake light intermittently while driving. OEM code 17887-035 but no CEL. Open loop system, no vacuum sensor. I can't find an obvious vacuum leak. Is there a standard troubleshooting procedure/drawing to help me...

My 2004 Passat GLS is misfiring on all cylinders only at idle, I am currently getting code P1297 along with the misfire codes, I have searched and searched for a vacuum leak but can't seem to find one anywhere. I misplaced my VAGCOM cable but using OBD Eleven my MAF reading is around 7 to 9 g/s...

Hey guys, i tried to locate vacuum leak by blowing smoke from my electronic cigarette into the system. couldn't see the smoke until i unscrewed oil cap and there it was. My question is if vacuum pump should be air tight when i blow into vacuum line? I have another pump ready to replace it but...

98 1.8t manual I recently replaced my trans slave cylinder and brake slave cylinder and now when I start it, it runs for about two seconds and loud hissing sound comes from under the dash and it shuts off, what am I missing

We have a love hate relationship, i love her she hates me. its great :banghead: Anyways, i can't seem to find out what could possibly be going on.. I've had it sitting for a good year or two, and finally decided to go pick it up and fix the exhaust, the only problem it had when I parked...

My first thread on the forum after lurking for the past few months so please bear with me! So the car is a 2007 Passat 2.0T FSI and a several weeks ago it threw the P2181 code. Searched the forum for answers (there were many!) so I figured I would try some of the things other members had done...

I've done a thorough search and can't quite find the information I'm looking for. My stock '98 1.8t recently developed a condition in which it started violently bucking on the highway. It got bad enough that it would idle, but any time I applied the slightest amount of throttle it would buck...

Not cold not hot, not humid not dry. About 10 days ago my Passat began having starting/idling issues: Previously ran/idled/accelerated/started fine. Began to require more time with the starter engaged before the motor picked itself up. Next, began not idling consistently, dropping down almost...

CEL - Pulled an 071 code when digging around a little I found this vacuum(/) hose broken and the grey plastic piece also broken. Hoping thye are vacuum pieces as it would be a potentially easy fix to this CEL. Only problem is... I have no idea what the part and hose are to order new ones...

When the car is cold and I start it up I get a LOUD (sounds like letting air out of a tire) vacuum leak coming from the passenger side front bumper area, right around the horns. After about 30 seconds it goes away. I've also noticed this once when it was idling and had a little hiccup then the...

I don't think I read about this issue here (B6 forum), but the 2006 Passat 2.0T that we just purchased makes a hissing sound that can be heard inside. If you touch the brake pedal even slightly, the hissing noise goes away. If you take your foot off the brake, it starts up again. I believe this...

Hey everyone i've been having some issues with my AWM 2001.5 1.8t Passat for the past three or so months. it started out as a P0171 code. Replaced my coolant temp sensor/sender and thermostat due to car not getting to normal operating temp. i tried to locate a vacuum leak. Found one near the...

Hi there, I have had a problem with oil leaks with several valve cover gasket replacements, replaced my entire pcv system 2 months ago and just 3 days ago my dad brought over my uncle who's an independent mechanic. Well I was at work and I really did not want him to work on my car since he's...

So, as I posted a few months ago, my crankcase breather tube went out, causing a huge vacuum leak, and several codes. Got that fixed, and sure enough, a few days ago, I get a CEL, which throws a P0171 code, occasional misfires, lower than normal vacuum, and a rough idle, though not as bad as...
