I have been fighting this vac leak for three months. Last night, I was looking at the Bentley, and enlightenedly decided to check the other vac systems, because mine was not matching up to the ATW in two places. One of those places was leaking. There it was - the AUG vac diagram. A perfect...

Hi buddies:( :cry: :cry: I have B6 Volkswagen Passat.2007 I got some worries after I have bought some Mercedes wheels. :confused: :confused: I live in Pa and have no good roads all around me. So my wheels are 18 inches And 8.5 fronts with ET36 and 9.5 rears with ET40. The wheels are from S...

Went and got my car inspected over the weekend and the guy says I need a new tie rod. They passed me, but showed me a "wiggle" when he moves the wheel back and forth. I've heard of replacing tie rod ends due to bushing failure, but the bushing looks fine. It's almost as if there's "slack". He...

For some reason all of a sudden I have no boost.. Its so bad that in 3rd gear with my foot flat the car won't really accelerate at all and it takes ages to reach even 4k rpm.. Its a 2001 DBW and is stock.. No chips or boost controllers or anything.. The only thing I have changed about a year...

Basically after about an hour I am seriously cramped in the Passat since we have two kids in car seats (ages currently 2+ and 3 months-we're not ditching child seats for a LONG time:( )and i'm 6'5". It's my turn to be looking for a car and feel we have a need for a van. I need something bigger...

My clutch makes a ticking/cracking sound with about the same intervals/rythm after shifting gears. It starts after the pedal is completely released, and only when I've changed gears. If I just push the clutch in and release it, there is no sound. It sounds kinda like the pedal is creeping...

Just wondering how many of you work on your own cars (Passat or otherwise) and why you choose to do it. I think I fall somewhere between wanting to save money and genuinely enjoying the work. I'm a tinkerer and love the whole...

Yesterday on the highway I passed a Mercedes Benz B200 with New Brunswick plates. It sparked curiosity because it was the first I had seen of this B for baby Benz. Based on what I read this model should have appeal to those want a luxury subcompact or a new Benz for under $30k. Why is this...

So I've been hating my Passat lately what with TB breakage and various CELs coming on but today I remembered why I love it. Snowed around 15 cm last night and I live on a hillside. Watched a few 4x4s slide around going up the hill while shoveling the drive then hopped in the Passat and drove...
