I am new to Passats but have been wrenching on my own 2000 Jetta TDI for 11 years. I have Vag-Com and a lot of the specialized tools if anyone needs a hand. I just bought a 126k mile 2004 Passat 2.8 4Motion wagon, will be doing a timing belt on it soon, and am now trying to chase down emissions and ABS faults.
