Good evening everyone, so I have a 2007 B6 with a FSI 2.0T with 154,000 miles. The car has been running perfect up to this point. I bought it used in June of 2017 with no issues what-so-ever until a couple of days ago.

I got in & started it like usual, let it warm up for about 10 min, drove off from my driveway & as I pulled out on the road & stepped on the gas pretty good it started bucking & losing power and the check engine light started to blink, I let off the gas & it stopped bucking & losing power & the check engine light turned off, put my foot on the gas again but this time very slowly & I was able to get the car up to 60mph with no issues. then came the hill, I pressed the gas pedal again to power up the hill & again the check engine light started blinking, it was chugging & bucking again like it wasn't getting the fuel it needed to power up the hill. I had a rough time getting up the hill. As soon as I got over the hill the car went to operating just fine & the check Engine Light went off again.

Made it to where I was going but I was very limited as to how much gas I could gave it. In order to get up any sort of incline, I had to speed down the hill to just make it over the other side. when it sits idling it's fine, when I'm in traffic speeding from 0-40 mph it's fine also as long as I don't press to hard on the gas pedal.

So I drove to my local AutoZone to have them check the codes since now the Check Engine Light is staying on. they printed out the codes for me & told me I needed to replace my 02 sensor, plugs & coil packs. They wanted me to buy from them but I told them No! that I read (Here on Passat World) that these parts needed to be OEM. I'm ready to purchase these parts but I want to make sure from the Passat World community that these are the parts I truly need according to the codes printed out. (PLEASE SEE CODES BELOW).

I can do pretty much all the work myself, I have all the tools needed. I'm not a mechanic what-so-ever but none the less I do understand a lot & have saved myself a ton of money by doing my own work while asking a lot of questions & watching a lot of YouTube video's.

ccheif22, I'm sorry but I do not know what a Transverse engine is. What do I look for to get you the correct info info? Thanks for your help.

 

[cchief22]

transverse is where engine is positioned side to side (front of engine faces the passenger side wheel well and rear of engine is towards drivers side wheel well) rather than conventional front to back like most cars, especially older domestic cars...... overfilling by accident when checking or at oil change place will throw those codes, they (VW) needs to work on their dipstick design, very hard to read as it ages

ccheif22,, Yes! mine is a transverse. So if the oil was filled to high in the engine during the oil change, which must have happened, are my plugs fouled out & need to be replaced then?

 

[cchief22]

no plugs will be good, if anything you could take out and brush off with lacquer thinner with old paint brush...however ,once drained it will take care of itself, check on level ground,if it is over you can reach drain plug without putting on lift ,just a tight squeeze and long arm, drain off a little bit when cold (hot makes for shitstorm )then start warm up ,turn off and check after sitting 5-10 minutes.

here is how I check mine..... first on level, warmed up and off......after removing and cleaning dipstick upon re-insertion I slide a little off center then so it stops at that little hook/lip/catch on dipstick then pull out and check and then add the distance (about 1/4") to where oil appears on indicator "grid" otherwise it (the oil) migrates up the area making it a real pain to see, PM me if confused with explanation and need my phone number,regards Chief
