it sounds stupid but they have alot of little tidbits that will save you some pain and angwish
espcially with things concerning oil
crash893 you dummy. You should read his post he has lot of little tidbits that will save you some pain and anguish. Tidbits like he's the second owner and he did not get the manual with the car when he bought it. :wink:prometal said:can somebody tell me what the oil warning light means when it is flashing . i just bought a 99 passat and there was no owners manual with the car
From the sounds of the recent repairs, your used Passat recently experienced a broken timing belt/tensioner. The original design, used through 2000 I believe, was inadequate. I came very close to loosing my engine to this failure. A timing belt/tensioner break would explain the timing belt and head replacement. I would suspect that the pervious owner had the car chipped; this would explain the computer replacement. I would not rule out the possibility of sludging. With this type of recent significant work, I would negotiate a dealer warranty for at least six months/6K.prometal said:Me to but with my luck it will not be the sensor it will be the coked oil. thanks for the help
