    Just bought a 2006 Passat (B6) with the 2.0T engine in excellent shape. Happy with the car, great handling, speed, features. First VW and I love it! There is a mystery leak in the car. When it's been out in the wet for a while the footwell of the front passenger side gets wet. It's very...

    Anyone have this problem? I thought my stereo installer was doing something wrong, because my speakers would go out. Upon taking it back to him, he verified there was rust build up and water all over the speakers (im assuming from the carwash that morning) I looked around the bottom, but I don't...

    98 1.8. Replaced thermostat and now there is a leak. I will dig into that later. Real question is regarding the water pump belt. Car continued to overheat as I drove it home from work (where I did the thermo change in the parking deck). Shut off car and rolled into a convenient parking lot and...

    I notice that drops of water are creating a fog in my headlight housing. Any way of either sealing the housing or drying out the space. The plastic is showing fogging and I've polished with commercial cleaner but the water bugs me.

    Our son drove in from the Phoenix area for Thanksgiving, in the old '98 wagon which had a dripping water pump. He had an Air Force buddy with him, so I didn't feel right pushing too much to start on the car. Then another Air Force guy from their basic training days shows up and stayed over...

    Hey guys, so my 2012 Passat V6 that I just picked up is clearly missing a plastic piece on the driver side under the windshield. Looks like this plastic would cover/protect the hinge of my hood. I have no idea what to call it or what part number to look for. Anyone ideas? Sent from my iPhone...

    I have a 2005 B5.5 Passat Wagon, and twice this week had a significant amount of water intrusion (1/2" puddle) on the passenger side foot well after a heavy rain storm. The water appears to be coming from the right hand side of the dash as there was a thin trickle of water coming out from just...

    04 1.8t AWM Recently I replaced the coolant flange and temp sensor. Afterwards, a problem arose that had only happened once previously. It would overheat while driving, but stable at idle. My first thought was air bubble, because it wasn't overheating at idle. Bled the coolant at the heater...
