After further inspection I've noticed that my coolant getting out at the front side of the engine in between of the( i think that is the water pump) lover point where all belts are attached! Does anyone have pics with water pump location? Or explanation of its position! Could be helpful! Also notice...

Guyswhat is the most common place dor the cooling system leak beside radiator? Looks that my leak is located somewhere at rear side of the engine?
Oh yeah AVB 2001! B5.5!

My guess(in fact" i will put my money on this") that u either Already have or most likely have intermittent ccm playing!!!
Been there !!! Check the drivers(right) side!

Guys i badly need some info about the A6 cos i really thinking to switch to the dark side! So basically, the car exterior is in a great condition, no knocking or any kind of a mechanical wear! BUT! It is a auto Gearbox, multitronic i think! So, any personal experience with the autogearbox, and commo...

Ok, that would be diesel maps then! Well anyway it just a tought!

Just like i tought! Thanks for the help!

In short, somethimes my passat doing some stupid things, but this is the most annoying while driving it gots the tension to increase the range of rpm's to a approx 1100 bpm? Could that be related to a temperature sensor or is something else?
Toughts please?

I have maps for most of the cars, and if u are interested, ill mail u with the map, ecu identifier and some more goodies, in return i expect nothing but the info about the map! Interested?

No need for helping anymore, i found the solution!

U didnt miss constructed anything but the blame of the other mechanic(which is my friend for many years), my car was involved into accident left front side(fender front light, fogs and some plastics of the bumper failed) i do have a special report written by the authorized personnel)! So i think tha...

Agree with you, but ive just sen for my self! It is smaller diameter! The bolt was overtighten! I would call that Bosnian invention! How to kill and make some money legally!

IVE JUST RECEIVED THE CALL: THE BIG Sh+t happened when car was involved in accident the guy who sold the car maks something really stupid, since my car is 2001 he put the CV joint from a (probably B5) which is smaller and the just overtighten the secure bolt and and guess what i was driving like tha...

u mean the opposite way???' i didnt even consider like that!? could that be that he didnt tighten the bolt? What??' i cant belive!!!!

Sounds like your mechanic used to much force/pressure on the hub bolt. Yes they are meant to be tight but if he used an industrial strength impact wrench and tightened to about 300nms of torque the bolt would stand no chance. Can you upload a picture? I'd talk to your mechanic who did it and ask hi...

thanks for the reply, and thanks for the compliments, i learn my skill on some different and maybe odd way, american movies, and subtitles, and i cannot forget the almighty monty python's and my all time favorite only folls anf=d horses! so back to the subject by outer CV u mean the one closes to th...

What about the famous " the Italian tune up"? It helped me, sticky vanes are history! Now( since,i mostly drive short distance) a good ol' (call me sick or whatewer) Italian tune up is the two in one! Business and pleasure!

When searching for car, it it good idea that you have remote working more then just few feet?! Isn't?

At first i think its a urban legend but the "remote under the chin" method WORKS, ive just tested and the length of reach extended for like 2 times! Imagine Passat owner unlocking the car like that! Some serious thoughts and looks from the near by people! I bet that they think that im some...
