I'm looking at returning to the passat community after spending 80k in a VRS Octavia. The CC has caught my eye and I'm looking at the basic spec of: No more than 40k on the clock 2.0 Diesel Would prefer 170 bhp but would consider less Reg around 2015/2016 GT or R line spec So before I start hitting ...

No sunroof

Thanks for the tips on the scuttle panel, I cracked mine tring to get it out last time to get the battery out.
I know the grommet for the bonnet cable, that's had a good funking of silicon around it a few weeks back.

As for the condense pipe I couldn't find it when I looked for it last time

I'm fairly sure it's coming in from the front of the car. The past few days there has being a damp line running down the carpet from the area of the heater. Suggesting it's coming from the bulkhead area of the car. I've also checked the heater for leaks and found none. I've just ordered the black fa...

Having scoured the internet for weeks including the various posts on here regarding a wet passenger side footwell I've finally gone insane trying to find the spot where the water is getting in. So I'm after any handy tips you may of picked up along the way when trying to find the leak. So far I've s...

The passat is a 5.5

I was just curious on how far you can go with this software. If it's just a read / reset only then a hand held module might be the way forward for me. The cars throwing up error messages on occasion, normally can be cleared by disconnecting the battery. But it would be nice to know whats going on wi...

Does the Delphi allow to enable options on the car, such as remote operation of the electric windows from your remote etc.... ?

Thanks

It's about time I brought myself a fault code reader. But there's loads to choose from, even looking on FeeBay there's various types around. Now do I opt for a handheld one, various prices around from £15 upwards. My understanding is these will typically read the fault, reset the fault and reset th...

I used a guy in Sutton coldfield by the name of Duplicut to cut my key and programme to the car. Nice guy, he even removed the missing key from the system so that should a previous owner with the key stumble across my car the imobaliser would still be active. He is or was located right next to the V...

I put an order in for one today from euro spares £2.98 Should be with me Mid week, I broke mine at the weekend I did struggle to get the bit off at the bottom that clips onto the metal tube at the bottom but it soon broke off with some pliers. Thinking about how it sits I'm going to warm the bottom...

Quick update from me with this one. First of all thanks for the advise from everyone. Managed to complete the job on Sunday with the aid of a chain wrench :) Had to pull the tad forward to pop the fan off but that's simple enough, grille off take 2 plastic guards off at the front of the tad (held on...

Had a few problems today while trying to do this repair. We can't remove the bottom bolt on the alternator due to the length of the bolt it hits the viscous fan before we can get it out. Today we have tried lots of thins and were gonna give it another go tomorrow to remove the fan. This is fast beco...

Ill be doing my best not to remove the front end but ill let you all know how i get on http://www.tyresmoke.net/forum/vw-passat/124546-petrol-2-0-2...

Picked the car up today and i started quiz the chap at the garage for further info on what and where. In short he is telling me that there is a electro thermostat that sits behind or below the inlet manafold. He said the alternator needs to come off etc to get to this part. Im going to check my work...

Hi all My Passat in in the garage at the mo and ive just had a call with the following faults and costs. First up the enginge temp only reaches 60 and not 90 deg, the chap tell's me its the electronic thermostat, that will cost me £50.25 for the part, £25 for flushing the system and anti freeze 4 ...

Has the car had a replacement windscreen by any chance? My old works van had the same sort of problem, if i used the window washers whilst on the motor way bubbles would appear out of the top of the dashboard next to the window. Turns out the chap who replaced the windscreen didnt fill it fully with...

Hi Scott. When you say you have checked the micro switch and the solinoid you check them with a multi meter? Are you getting power to the solinoid when you operate the switch in the door? Does the micro make and break when operated? Is the coil on the solinoid open circuit? Also try giving the solin...

found it

Grey multi Plug located on fire wall

Sensor located near the oil filter.

Looks like im off to GSF or Euro Car Parts tomorrow.

Anyone able to point me in the direction of the crank shaft sensor on my 20v 2002 Passat? (non turbo)

A Photo would be a bonus ;)

Got to be fair my local VW stealer is also poo. When my company B5.5 was new the footwell filled with water and a fair bit at that, there was a puddle on the floor. So i took it to my local VW dealer and they unblocked the drains, when i picked it up i was told it was all sorted. To my horror the fo...

Does anyone know how much gas i should get pumped into the system after its been sucked out? The reason i ask is a friend of mine will do it for me at a Land Rover dealers for free, but they only have the details for LR and no other makes of car. He said something about lubricating the system anyone...

How much oil should my 02 passat use?? ive only had the car about 6 months and ive had to top the oil up twice, it doesnt burn any oil when its hot or cold or when i boot it. No oil in the water and no gunk in the oil filler cap. I cant see any leaks from any where and ive got no oil stains on the d...
