    Considering Purchasing a 2013 Passat TDI

    I just traded mine in on a Volvo and extended the CPO warranty until 2030. VW spent over $14k in repairs on my car in the last month, and there wasn't much warranty left. So yeah. It was time.

    So there's a dead snake in my car...

    Australia has an awful lot of those. I figured P2B an Aussie when I saw "ute". I have been to Perth and Hobart a few times, and very much enjoyed it.

    So there's a dead snake in my car...

    I am glad I could provide some comic relief. Last night I told my wife, "The good thing is that it's not a snake. The bad thing is that I just spent the last six hours thinking it was".

    Dealer says $500-$550 for new battery

    I bought a Diehard AGM battery from Advance about a year and a half ago. I think I got an H7? It barely fit. I had to "massage" it into place. Advance said an H8 would fit, but it did not.

    So there's a dead snake in my car...

    I couldn't get much of a picture. When I couldn't get to it, I watched a video on windshield replacement. It's not a snake, it's insulation. I swear I saw nostrils and a beady eye. Ophiophobia anyone?

    I have no clue. Unless it is some weird insulation.

    So there's a dead snake in my car...

    Seriously. It is wedged between the lower windshield and the dash, down by the base of the windshield. HOW THE F--- DO I GET IT OUT?!?!? Ahem. Seriously. Nightmare food.

    2013 VW Passat TDI SE Oil Leak...stumped!

    If they had it over a month and still didn't fix it, take it back to them. Is yours not under the TDI warranty?

    Ticking sound while cold

    Thank you all for your input. I am going to see if the dealership will replace the injectors under warranty. I am pretty sure VW is ready for this warranty to expire.

    Ticking sound while cold

    I am using liquid moly oil, of the correct specifications. It happens regardless of outside temperature, but before the engine is at operating temperature. It didn't start happening until right after 100k miles. The dealership said they did a full reset of the injectors when they replaced the...

    Ticking sound while cold

    I took audio of it (video) this morning. Not sure if this is going to work, but I am trying to post it. Video of ticking sound

    What did you do to your Passat today?

    I got it back today. Still ticking louder than it should be. It quiets when warm, but still seems loud. The dealership said there is no coolant leak, and they found the fuel pressure sensor connector loose.

    Review of plug and play LED upgrades: low beam (LasFit H7 G2 Pro) and High Beam (LasFit VW-01)

    I am in central Texas, lots of deer and 75mph speed limit. The high beams are a necessity.

    Review of plug and play LED upgrades: low beam (LasFit H7 G2 Pro) and High Beam (LasFit VW-01)

    I have been running the Lasfit high and low beams for a year and a half. I have a 430am commute on a dark interstate, so they have been a godsend. Especially considering how terrible the OEM headlights are with halogens. I have a BOW every time I start the car, but it goes away when I put the...

    What tires are you guys running?

    These are what I am running now. I like them so far, and a great value per mile.

    What did you do to your Passat today?

    It was running like one of the cylinders was cutting out. So either no fuel, air or compression. No news from the service department yet. At least the Taos they gave me gets better mileage than the Atlas did.

    What did you do to your Passat today?

    I took mine back to the dealership. It started losing power, missing, and then went into limp mode. Flashing glowplug light and it would not idle well at all.
