Hey folks, so after doing a whole lot of work (timing belt, oil seals, alternator regulator, cabin filter leak) this summer/fall on the Passat going to my son's mother, I've run into another issue that I'm hopeful I can resolve with some of the info I've gathered on the site. After a couple of...

Hi all, I promise I've searched every corner of this site for my particular problem, but I've come up with nothing. I had the usual electrical problems, so I replaced the CCM and plugs/wiring. Everything now works, except the windows. I've replaced fuses 14 and 9, and checked the two underneath...

Why is it every time I look for a bulb for my wagon, anything I reference is usually wrong? I've been told h7 and 9003 for the headlights, something else for the fog's. The fog lights are integrated into the high beams. I bought the wrong tail light bulbs last time I bought them. The car is a...

OK folks, I had my independent guy work and replace a fuel pump. Afterwards another issue arose. I have rough starts, sometimes ending in stall, that typically go away after a mile or so of driving. This is especially sensitive when the humidity is high. They shop looked into it and after...

the car in question is my MIL's with about 95k on the clock. she was turning off one road onto another, and lost all drive to the transmission. her Taurus stopped dead in the middle of the road. when I first looked at it after she got a tow to her house, I verified no matter what gear was...

So, I switched out my heater core, I figured out why the car wasn't starting (poor battery connection), scheduled my coolant flush, and then poured some distilled water in the coolant tank... ... then immediately ran to get a pan to catch the coolant/water mixture pouring (quite rapidly, almost...

So I did my due diligence and searched this and other forums for tips on removing the downpipe on my 2000 1.8t, but it remains stubbornly in place. I read one work-around is to remove it still attached to the cat, but then I'd have to remove the O2 sensors. The top one is easy enough to get to...

I recently bought a 2.8 litre manual tranie 1999 Passat, which I have been working away at getting ready for the road. Something odd is happenng which it took me a while to realise was a problem. Often when I turn the ignition key to engage the starter nothing happens. I bring it back and try...

Hey guys, in back. I've been using my 03 passat1.8t, and tonight I drove from my house to the pizza place and met up with the gf. When leaving my vw hesitated when it was starting. It started up then everything was fine. Now last week I had an episode where the vw stalled out about 3 seconds...

2002 AWM 1.8T 175K Persistent issues with coolant leak for past 2 years. Fix one place, it starts leaking somewhere else. I am wondering if there is a pressure issue with my coolant system. Could if be the after-market coolant tank not releasing excessive pressure? Below are the leak points...

I have an O1E 6 speed in my Passat, the same transmission used in the Audi S4. It has had two problems. This is how it has happened: I pushed in the clutch and put in it first gear with the engine off, then when I started the engine it moved ever so slightly pulling as if it were in gear...

So long story short, decided to keep the '01.5 wagon (got rid of the Mk4 GLI instead, for a Toyota Sequoia). However, this is my daily driver and it's getting annoying... it wants to surge forward at idle at stops (idle climbs unexpectedly and I have to throw it in neutral to avoid feeling like...

Hey guys... My A/C started to act up a bit last summer. It would intermittently just not work; once you turned it off and on a few times, it would kick on. This summer it's worse, and the symptoms are different. If it's below 80 degrees outside, it will blow cool (not cold) until I come to a...

I have a few questions after doing a TON of reading. My intention for opening this thread is to get some right to the point answers for those who have more experience with this type stuff. Mods and info first: Unitronic Stage 1+ 1998 AEB 1.8t Manual Forge 007 DV with green spring and two shims...

2004, 1.8T (AWM), 5speed, 4motion, wagon A few years ago, my factory flex pipe developed a leak so I had an exhaust shop replace it. A year later, this "new" flex pipe developed a leak, so it was replaced. It is now 2 years later and this thing is looking like it needs to be replaced again...

Greetings! I have a 2002 V6 and am attempting to change the ECT sensor. I was able to get the old one out and didn't see an o-ring. There was plenty of oil sludge and dried coolant, but no o-ring (which may explain the mystery of where my coolant has been going). In trying to install the new...
