I have a 2000 Passat GLS (ATW) with 167k miles. When I first try to start the vehicle it cranks but does not even attempt to turn over as if it's getting no fire or fuel. Sometimes if I wait for a minute it will start. Most of the time I'll have to wait for about an hour and then it will start...

My 99 was driving just find, zero issues. One day I was driving to work and it died. Seemed like a fuel issue. Took it to a VW dealer, the same I always use, who at first said it was a fuel pump issue. I said go for it, repair it. They did so then came back and said there is no compression from...

I could never imagine how annoying EPB can really be..

Hello, Looking for a new car for the wife and have decided to get a TDI Passat, now I just have to decide do we get a 14 which I'm sure will have good savings as the new 15's come out or wait for the 15 and pay a little more. I know the engine will be new but can't find much on the body style...

I was so excited to see the box labeled ECSTuning on my doorstep when I got home from work today. Some new side-marker bulbs, an evap purge valve to get rid of that P.0441, and... some really skinny looking oil filters! WTH? These things look really small. They are the BOSCH 72211 filters, and...

Just a rant about summer: dear summer, can you please go back to where you came from? My poor revo tuned passat really dislikes the day after day of 95+ degrees that you have cursed/blessed (whatever your take is) us with. I look forward to my daily 80 mile highway drive to/from work . I get...
