Hi all. I have been having a problem where I will just all of a sudden lose spark, either when trying to start or mid way through a journey. I've fitted new leads, plugs, rotor arm, dizzy cap and yesterday the hall sensor. After replacing hall sensor I tried to start, there was no spark. Taking the ...

RAC ruled out the coil as they tried a replacement. Hall censor should arrive tomorrow so going to fit it on Sat and keep my fingers crossed. Where is the ignition switch?

Me too!
The RAC bloke mentioned it could be the ECU.
Would you recommend a new dizzy if the Hall Sensor does not fix it?

2 litre petrol
I've ordered a Hall Sender from Ebay for £15.

Hi all. I am having a current fault where I can have the engine running and after a while it will just cut out. As if someone has turned off the ignition. I have had the RAC out to look at it but they cannot fix it. They have tested the coil and this is fine. I was told by the RAC man that it could ...

Good morning everyone.
Some toe rag has decided to jump all over my bonnet last night.
They've done a proper job of it! I think a replacement bonnet is the only solution.
Can anyone direct me to any sites that sell B3 panels?

Hello everyone. Does anyone know much about the Sun roof on the B3? Mine was in the tilt position today, I went to close it and only one side went down. I noticed that on the side that remained up, a metal sliding mechanism was not working as the other side was. I have managed to get the sunroof shu...

I'm based in Peterborough. I just don't want to go to the expense of replacing parts when it might not solve the problem

Hello. I have a passat estate b3, 2.0 petrol. Recently I have been having trouble getting the car into gear. The problem is not constant, sometimes it will drive fine, other times it is very hard to engage any gear and the car will creep forward when stationary in first gear with the clutch down. I ...

It took him 2 minutes to reply to my email! He assures me he can order the correct part for just £12! (plus £9 P&P) Result!!! I just hope it is definitely the right part! Cheers Lee! Stuart, if you are struggling to find some adjusters it's definitely worth sending an email to sales@hottuning.eu

Thank you.
I have just sent an email to the Hot Tuning address.
Hopefully they can help!

Hello everyone. I have TA Technix Coilovers on my B3 Passat. Recently the car went into the garage to get listed by about an inch and a half. Unfortunately the adjuster is seized on the passenger rear. Does anyone know anywhere that sells the adjusters only? I have found some on ebay but am not conv...

Cheers!! i must admit i don't think that's the issue. all speeds work. the problemvseems to be that it will not concentrate the flow of air to a specific area (windscreen, feet). no matter what setting i have it on it seems to come out fromveverywhere. i guess this may explain the loss of power? has...

Hello Recently got myself a Passat estate B3 It had no stereo so I bought a cheap second hand sony unit with usb from ebay. I am by no means an expert on car audio but I was very disappointed by the sound coming from the speakers which I assume to be standard. Bass was almost non existent! Can anyon...

Hello again. Having recently purchased my Passat estate I am trying to work through the problems I have noticed with it Thank you for everyone's input on my last post. I seem to have an issue with the steering. It seems a bit wooley. At high speed it almost seems like the wheels are trying to do the...

Thanks to you both!
I will have a look at the weekend.If replacing the fan does not help where is the resistor pack / thermal fuse located and are these parts easy to source if replacement is required?

Good evening I have recently purchased a B3 estate It has a few jobs need doing on it and I am after a bit of advice if possible? The first issue I wish to tackle is the heater fan. It works, but seems very low powered. Even on setting 4 it is taking ages to de mist and is barely able to be felt by ...
