I know that the PVC replacement has been touched on a lot here. Thats not my issue! My issue that has risen is after I replaced the valve cover gaskets and put on a new PVC breather hose because my 2003 V6 Passat (4 Motion) was leaking oil. I will be honest I did not do the job myself due to...

Ok guys I have an issue with the Valve cover gasket. I am getting oil in the coolant. I have replaced all the "lower cost" parts and ruled them all out (coolant reservoir, PCV valve, and oil cooler). I am left with the VCG unless someone has any other ideas. I know people have posted about this...

I'm sure this is covered somewhere in the forums but I haven't been able to locate it. I was wondering what the best brands of some replacement parts would be on my fiance's 03 Passat V6 4Motion. I think a previous owner installed aftermarket CV axles since the car starts vibrating when it hits...

Hey folks! It's a second post, look at that- I bought this car 7 years ago and she's STILL a beauty but she needs lots of love and new parts. The car is at 250,000 miles (100,000 by me proud to say) but she had a critical failure last year Xmas morning. The oil started pouring out the front...

Hey everyone, I'm changing my Valve Cover Gasket and my CCT Gasket tomorrow.. I was just wondering if any of you have any advice or tips or suggestions to make the process go a little smoother/easier! I know it's been done before and i know it's been done the wrong way also, so I want to make...

I love my car, this is my first VW I'm never going back! :D Anyways, car has 86,000 mi, kept up on synthetic oil changes. Had a misfiring problem that would come and go for about a month until I could fix it. At first it would only lurch a little bit whenever I got under a quarter tank of gas...

Hey, I'm in the process of changing my valve cover gaskets on my 01 V6 Passat Wagon with an ATQ engine, I went through and was able to replace the passenger side fairly easy by just removing the airbox, etc for clearance but I'm having some trouble with the driver side. I have removed all the...
