Thank You for all your suggestions I will do the diesel purge its been a while since I have driven the car.

It has been a while since I posted on here and after searching all the How To / DIY links I got no help. I have a 1996 Passat TDI. I know how to change fuel filter even though I have not done it myself I need to service the filter.My question is do I need to prime the filter before starting...

If your looking just for a body shop and not VW certified I would take it to Hendrick Collision Center in Cary. The person that runs the shop is a good friend of mine and is extremely picky about the work his tech's do. He may be higher than other shops but like I said he will do a fantastic job...

Steve, I have located several of the cars you listed locally. No Passats, but others seem to be more common. Thanks

Don't know if I have asked this before but here goes.I need another rim to be used as a spare. DO NOT want space saver because I am not concerned with space being taken by a full size rim. With that said what are the years and models that will work on my Passat? I have salvage yards around me in...

Thank you all for your comments. I do agree with IndigoBlueWagon it's not what you use but rather use something. Today's diesel fuel has lost many of it's lubricating properties in an attempt to make it "cleaner" resulting in poor fuel mileage and lubricity

In a few days I will have my Passat back on the road. She has been sitting for almost a year and I'm sure fuel has gotten somewhat stale. I plan to use an additive from this day forward simply because the current fuels from what I have read don't have as good a lubrication quality as it used to...

I just called ya'all and will be ordering them online. I should probably replace the bolts also. Did not see bolts do you have a part# for them also? Never mind I just found the nut and bolt!

I have not been on here in a while and basically had parked my Passat for sometime. Well it's time to get it back up and running but first I need to replace the rear beam bushings. Yes I know I was going to do this several months ago but kept putting it off. So now I am having trouble finding...

16vJohn sorry I missed your question on my post. I was simply sharing my experience with my oil pump. When I first bought the car (Spring of 2013) I was going to church and as I accelerated from my driveway the engine shut down completely and I had to pull off the side of the road. I tried to...

After starting the car and you begin to drive while accelerating does the engine shut down after your RPM's increase? The reason I ask is I had this exact problem and it ended up being a bad oil pump. The final blow was when my filter blew out like yours from excessive oil pressure. I guess a...

WestVa304 that would be AwSOME!! We were going to make a tool but that would save some time. When will you be coming through? I live just outside of Raleigh and if I know where you'll be we can meet. My job takes me to 7 North Carolina counties so if you are near any of those we can get...

I agree Steve! I will most likely go with the lower priced bushing for $11 (now $13.74) sale is over. :( I use this car mainly to drive back and forth to work (95 miles round trip) and the weather in North Carolina does not destroy body parts prematurely as other areas of the country. Abacus...

The NAPA bushings are Federal-Mogul. For $130+ they may be the ones to go with. I don't know how long I will drive her you just never know. Here is a portion of what their warranty states: What This Warranty Covers: Federal-Mogul Motorparts (NAPA Chassis) warrants all NAPA CHASSIS premium...

That would be great to get together! Lots of microbrew houses in North Carolina. We'll be known as the "New Milwaukee Beer Capital" before long. Lol I mentioned there was a difference in appearance between the two bushings. Would that make any difference?

JETaah, I removed my drivers door latch completely (I GOT TIRED OF SCREWING WITH IT!!) and now stick my finger into the existing hole and just push down on the actuator lever. Now the reason I mention this is if you can roll window down you can see the lever and maybe, JUST MAYBE slide one of...

Well isn't this crazy!! Abacus I used the number you gave me, checked the interchange box and nothing, nought, ought, zilch and nodda came up.....BUUUTT when I used 2674489 (from NAPA guy) in search box and interchange checked, a single bushing from Altrom Imports and your number popped up. It...

Yay I know I asked about this previously but I move real slow and am not in a hurry. With that said I have done some research and found another design for the installation tool on VW Vortex forums. Thank you Abaccus for the offer of your tool but had you sent it to me I would have it in my...

My wife drives a 2006 Honda CR-V. While driving it the other day I noticed the interior door latch is very similar to the interior latch on our Passat's. So when I got our I looked at the exterior latch and it too is very similar. So my question for some of you who know these door latch's and...

Steve is this the build you were talking about showing the beam bushing tool being used?
