Congratulations. I love my Passat TDI. You probably know its not the dreaded timing chain (the Passat does not have one) but the balance shaft chain that is the problem.

No annoying light or bell for the seat belt. (I ALWAYS wear mine - and don't need the reminder)

Wide Open Throttle (floor it)

I am in Orem, and have a Passat with the gear driven balance shaft module. PM me.

Nearly a quarter of a million miles. That is a huge number for a car that is only 5 or 6 years old. You must drive all the time. Well - if your car is toast you got more out of it than many ever do.

Had similar issues with my 99 1.8T. That year has an ignition control module mounted on the top of the airbox. Replacement curred my problem. Hope this may help.

check that all the hoses got reconnected correctly - no missing clamps - check for any leaks in the turbo/inlet track ?????

I disagree with that assessment. in a Jetta you are almost rubbing shoulders with the front seat passenger.

I had mine done at Gunthers VW in Coconut Creek, FL. They have the expertise to do it right. Good luck.

Still I find it interesting that all over the world wheel diameters are still measured in inches.

I have VCDS and live in Orem. Let me know if you want to use it.

I agree - a new 219 relay should solve the no start issue. See this thread for more info. http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=260981

Thanks for the input. Problem turned out to be a bad Ignition Control Module which is a common failure on the older 1.8T engines. More recent 1.8T don't have them. Sorry for the non TDI post.

1999 was not affected by the coil pack recall. The problem did not follow the coils when swapped, and the unplugging the MAF kept the code from re-occurring.

Is there any chance that the MAF from my 2005 BHW engined passat could be swapped into a 1999 1.8T (AEB) engine to aid in troubleshooting a problem? Quick synopsis of the problem. VCDS shows random misfires on all cylinders and misfire on Cyl 1. Coil pack and spark swapped with no change...

I once experienced a fuel filter clogging up after 5000 miles. The symptoms were reduced acceleration, and EXCESSIVE vibration that increased with throttle application. I don't know if this is your problem, but may be worth looking into.

Fyi Autobahn has moved from Provo to Orem. Their address now is: 1358 W 400 S Orem, UT 84058 Phone number is the same. They seem to be very VW savy. I have had them do a timing belt replacement on a Passat 1.8T gasser. I have no experience with them on TDI issues. Their website is...

Count me in for the GTG on 26 June. Looking forward to it.

I just ordered a 20,000 mile filter kit from IDPARTS (formerly TDIPARTS) a well respected vendor. I received a Meyle fuel filter with a made in China sticker on the side of it; 2 MANN oil filters marked made in Mexico; A MANN air filter marked made in Germany; and an activated charcoal cabin...

TDI in Orem Long time Passat owner. One year TDI owner. I have a 05 Passat with the BHW PD engine. Located in north Orem. I have Vag-Com (VCDS) with a Key/KII USB cable which I am glad to share with other VW owners. I also have the Bentley manuals on CD.
