Hi, I'm coming up on 50,000 miles on my 2012 Passat 5-speed MT. I've been doing the regular 10k service intervals at the dealer (only had the car for two years, bought it used directly from another person), but now the dealer is telling me that the trans fluid should be changed at the 50k...

Does anyone have recommendations? He wants "the brightest bulbs available". He had his lenses cleaned by walmart, who apparently does a good job for $30, but that didn't improve things much. I know very little about this area, but curious what you guys think. Is there an LED set he can...

About the only remaining issue with my 2005 GL I got last October is a crackly radio. CDs and my IPod sound great, but the radio reception is awful. My mast had rotted insulation, so I replaced that first. It didn't help, so I took it to the VW dealer in town and they diagnosed it as a bad base...

Hi folks. A 2015 Golf TDI owner here who is looking for an additional car for my family. I just test-drove a 2012 Passat today, but I need some help deciding whether to move forward with an offer or not. The seller is asking for $2,000 above the Blue Book value. Here's the car description...

2004 Passat Wagon GLS with standard stereo with cassette player - not a Monsoon! Yes, I'm the original owner. Kids drive the car now, use stupid tape deck adaptor to use Iphone or Samsung for their music. Oldest son uses CD's on occasion. 5 years ago I installed a Enfig adaptor to play my...

Looks like this is my 4th post and noob. I hope after this I can advertise my W8 for sale.

I have a 2001.5 V6 Passat. The coolant temp switch is failing as I recently changed my thermostat when I did my timing belt but the temp gauge is now fluctuating from 1/4 warm to normal back to 1/4 back to 1/2 (normal) when I am on the highway or sitting in traffic. I know the temp sensor...

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...

I read somewhere, that 50/50 mix of antifreeze and gear oil works fine for VW transmissions. Is that true? Just kidding!:lol: Which ATF beside VW can be used? thanks. Here is Castrol ATF specs, page 4 for VW Castrol Import Multi-vehicle (ATF) Automatic Transmission Fluid...

I have a 2001.5 VW Passat GLX 2.8 V6 4motion. I want lower the car about 1.5" maybe a little more. I would like advice on how to go about it. I am leaning more toward coilovers for the adjustable heights planning to spend between $500 -$800 max. Is it okay to buy used coilovers? How do I know...

Long story short my mechanic wants to put in new water pump and timing belt. He said the water pump was worn out as it was not turning with the belt when the car was running plus it was loose. The timing belt he said is something you change when you change the water pump plus he said it was...

Hi, this is my first post in the forum. I have problems with my Passat. Sometimes it will start and will run a few hundred meters, and sometimes 1-2 mil. But before dying, the car runs fine. When the car dies it is as if I turn the car with the key. The starter motor is going around as usual and...
