Festivus, you are not alone. There comes a point and time when a person decides it is no longer worth it (like myself). That level and the reasons vary from person to person. To each his own, I enjoy not having to worry about the BS problem any more, and my new car HAS A TIMING CHAIN! Kevinski

Car is gone. Good luck to all, thank you all that have shared information. You have all been very helpful. Kevinski

Newbury, thanks for the heads up, it has been corrected. Yes it's a Passat. Wish I could change the title to include Passat. I am pricing it to move, need to get a mini-van. Yes, it was an air leak in the T fitting on the fuel filter. Better to be lucky than good! Will get some pics when the...

Radman, thank you for the reply. So, was your symptoms similiar to mine? I hope I'm not jumping the gun in thinking it is the pump, and I really wish there was a better way to check the pump than testing for amperage draw only. Seems a flow test would be a better way to see what is going on...

Thanks MOGolf, so it seems based on your reply that it is not similiar to the jetta, OK. No flow specs? Just check amperage draw? I can do that. The reason for concern over the lift pump, is I don't hear it power up everytime the key is turned on. Sometimes I hear the fuel flow, sometimes...

OK, so I searched terms like fuel pump, lift pump, no start hard start, pump, etc 2005 bhw with 80,000 miles. A little background: Recently the wife has been complaining about occasional cranking but no starts. OK, replaced fuel filter. Problem still occurs from time to time. Did a few...

I also noticed during an oil change that thE bolt looks similiar to one on the front nose engine mount. Did not measure the head size on it, but, the pic looks similiar to what I saw.

As a matter of fact, car is going into the shop for a new set of rubber. Turns out Inoticed a vibration when driving, and after further inspection, discovered a broken belt (wife-thanks dear). So can it be popped back in? I'm guessing the headlight needs to be removed which means the front...

I'm not exactly sure. I think it's either something came undone or something broke. Either way it sounds like the headlight unit needs to come off. Not to sure. I did a search, but everything seems to come up describing how to change the headlight units to "hid" or something like that.

2005.5 headlight beam. Beam focus was normal, now the beam is way low. It now shines about 8 to 10 ft in front of vehicle. Did something break or come "undone". Seems to me a similiar problem happened to my 2002 jetta, but that was a long time ago. Can't remember what was the issue. Thanks in...

Yes, I first checked prices from the usual comonly mentioned parts suplliers I see mentioned here. I do business with them for my usual supplies. Then I started checking places like rockauto and other "generic" online parts places and noticed some lower prices on reman calipers. Decided to...

Reman caliper is in ($65.00 plus core), new jurid brake pads up front (purchased those awhile ago on sale), $8 bucks for brake fluid, and problem is solved. Rotated tires and flushed brake fluid as well. Probably would have been about 2 days and at least $300 at the stealership. Have to...
