2006 2.0 T Auto I had a drain and fill done about a year ago. Then, had an oil change about 3 weeks ago, they noticed transmission fluid leaking. So, I took it to another mechanic and they did another drain and fill, used transmission pan/gasket kit from VW yesterday. Today, transmission...

Hello All, I bought my car 3 years ago, I bought it out of desperation, as I needed a new car and Toyota's and Hyundai's were never of my liking. The car has brought me great nightmares, and cleaned my wallet out a few times now, but after 3 years, It is finally what I always wanted. The day...

So... I've been feeding my blue beauty 5w30 Mobile1 for about 7 years now every 6-7K miles. I now live in a moderate climate (no cold and no extreme heat). My car IS leaking oil, which I don't intend to fix anytime soon (about 1qt a month). I want to switch back to regular oil... or possibly...

Here are a few crash tests to make you think... The first is a 2001 Passat. Frontal crash is at 40mph, side impact by car at 30mph and side impact by pole at only 18mph. The second and third videos are at a little higher speeds and have startling results!

Hi, I've just inherited a 2000 V6 passat that has been parked for the past 4 years. I'm somewhat mechanical skilled (I've replaced brakes, calipers, oil, spark plugs, cleaned a carb in other cars before), but I've never worked on anything as "modern" as the passat. I figure I would start by...

Hey there. My name is Matthew and I received my '02 Passat GLX from my father when I graduated high school. There are things I love about this thing--the exterior, the styling, the comfort--and things that I hate, such as the falls-to-pieces interior, the cost of premium gas, and the...

A check fuel cap warning light? All the times I have had an EVAP related error code (P0441), this wildcard never showed up. Going to reset with my scan tool and see what happens. FWIW I ultimately fixed the niggly P0441 code with a new purge valve last summer. Sent from my Autoguide iPhone app

That's right. I've had my '99 sitting for over two years. I'd prefer to not get into the whys of that. But now I'm ready to get it up and running again. I tried starting it the other day after putting in a new battery...no luck. The engine would crank but not turn over. I'm sure this is...

purchased a 2000 v6 GLS new. Sold it at 178k. On the whole, it was a pretty good car. I was so happy with it I purchased a used 2004 GLX V6 in December 2010 with only 48k on it. I am up to 66k now. I thought the 2000 drove better than the 2004. I liked the steering wheel and seats...

I read around a lot and I think I'm correct for the bolt/tire size...etc. I just want to confirm before spending 500-1000+ for rims/tires. My current rims are scratched/chipped to hell from previous owner and there is a weird humming sound from one or two of the rims...not sure if it's the...

Long story short, the mechanic just told me I have to replace my valve cover gaskets again here in December 2011 after having the same thing done elsewhere in November 2009. Two years? This can't be right. Could something else be wrong, that they're misdiagnosing? Long story long, I have a 2000...
