Hey ALL! Thanks for letting me in... presently in the middle of the timing belt on the Passat, needing the details on keeping the timing right! The Passat is the loooooooooooong game; currently planning to keep for 300+k. Should've stayed in the diesels. I unloaded my 2003 Golf for debt...

I have a 2012 VW Passat TDI SEL, does anyone know why my car randomly emits a very strong diesel smell or some other type of fume smell almost like standing near a barbecue pit?? I have no leaks and the car’s temp never goes above it’s normal operating temperature.

So two days ago I was on a small trip about an hour from my house and half way there I felt significant power loss and had a flashing glow plug light. Soon after the check engine light came on and I heard a whistling/whining noise come from the general area of the turbo. The car barely...

Hello everyone im new to this Forum... I own a 2013 VW Passat TDI SEL Premium just bought used with 80k. My last TDI was a 2014 VW jetta TDI and i absolutely loved it the amount of power and dependability. We gave it back when the emissions scandal happened because i was scared it was going to...

Hey everyone, I've been lurking for a bit while slowly fixing a torque converter/flex plate failure on my 05 passat bhw so I figured I should come say hi and thanks for all of the great information and write ups! That and a bunch of other preventative maintenance since I had the engine and...

Hi guys, sorry for late introduction... I own a 2002 B5.5 Passat estate/wagon, with the AWX 130PD 1.9 TDI engine with 5 speed manual transmission. Great car...had it for going on 4 years now (almost 200K miles on it). Just the fairly common limp mode issues with it the past few...

I have a Passat with the AWX 130 PD engine. Has been going into limp mode for a while now and had been showing fault code for underboost. It got a new tandem pump, new N75 valve, reconditioned turbo (at which point the EGR was deleted). None of this made any difference and was still showing...

I have recently bought a car with 450,000 Km on it. I have purchased as I like to work on cars every now and then. After a full-service everything seemed fine until I got a message on the instrument cluster which said oil pressure stop engine. The oil temperature ranges from 100-116 degrees...

Hi There, My Name is Kees Visser and I got into this forum thanks to my son-in-law-in-spé having a major 1997 Passat water leak, which was caused by a 1.9 tdi leaking fuel pump, the fuel dissolving a water tube! Bought the gasket kit and worked the pump. No nothing. Got the pump out again and...

Hello, I'm from DR, I have an 07 Skoda Superb 1.9TDI PD (AVF) (130bhp), It's a VW B5.5, but it is a little bit extended in the rear for a limousine style ride in the back seat. I recently (this month) did a conversion to manual, since the transmission with about 70k miles died on me, so if you...

Hi friends, My 2014 Passat TDI SEL was in the accident and some wiring was damaged. I repaired the wiring, but I’m still getting P0746 and P0776 Fault Codes. Wondering if there’s a fuse issue? Where do I find transmission related fuses? Any other Ideas. Appreciate any help…

Have a 2014 Passat TDI SE Manual with 72k miles on the clock and I do not have heat at all from either side of the cabin (have not checked foot vents). I have heard about the issues with heater cores regarding the lack of heat on the passenger side, but not much about the general lack of heat...
