Thanks Ted!

Hey Ted, It's been years since I've posted here since we've had no TDI in the family for awhile. I just logged in an see this thread's still going strong and many of the usual suspects are still contributing! This (quoted) post of yours caught my interest because in the last year we picked up a...

bicycling for transportation is a lot of fun for the whole family, our fitness and overall health is better too, and pedaling instead of driving saves lots of $$. by RV do you mean wagon? our family vacations since 2009 have been in the Passat with tents for car, bike or canoe camping or...

yesterday i sold our 2005 Passat GLS TDI Wagon to a really wonderful couple here in Roanoke, VA. we've owned TDIs since 2004 and i've super enjoyed reading and trying to contribute to these forums. even though i've not met many of you, the sense of community, support and friendship that the...

sadly we've had a death in the family that's consumed us for the past week. this TDI is still available though i have a number of people that have contacted me and seem very interested that i just haven't had the time to respond to yet. i will respond to anyone that's still interested in this...

thanks :) I'm selling just because I'm very rarely driving - I now bicycle everywhere. It's been a transition for me. I was driving 40k / yr and now my car is parked and covered the majority of the year. I've become really fit, I'm saving a lot of $$ and it's a lot of fun actually! :)

here are pics of the Passat under it's Noah barrier fabric car cover - claimed to be one of the best outdoor use car covers.

thanks for all the PMs and calls of interest and compliments. it looks like this sale could be coming to a close as early as this evening. here's a few more pics that i took moments ago. When I comprehensively detail the car I do it in 3 stages. 1 - I clean the car, 2 - I then bring the clean...

I'm almost embarrassed to say that the problem was simply a split in the vacuum line that goes to the turbo waste gate. I'd pulled & looked at the line but the split was hidden by the braided line covering ... until it got really big. First Team VW Roanoke VA's diagnosis was "turbo needs to be...

thanks for all the congrats! yeah i'm just going to have the dealer replace the seals - hopefully they won't botch that up. if that doesn't resolve all issues i'll spend some time working on it when i get back. i had been keeping a various old MBs around so i could drive them whenever i was...

when leaks develop at the charge air hose seals can that result in increased oilyness in the intake and EGR valve?

thanks :D we planned to drive our Passat Wagon to Holden Beach (6+ hours each way) for a family vacation as soon as we returned from our honeymoon ... i'm just hoping to be able to get this resolved so that can happen. my fiancé has a Hyundai Elantra sedan, which we could take, but it's so...

according to the dealer it's more than normal "the egr was dripping w oil". the odd thing is that the car wasn't noticeably smoking at all, at least not as far as i could tell from the driver's seat, and when the car wasn't in limp mode it would pull hard / seemingly normal boost &...

the dealer said there's oil in the intake and EGR - could that be caused by failed seals or a leaky actuator?

i'm asking them to check and replace the o-ring seals on the charge air hoses before taking the step of turbo replacement. P0299 code and B5 was going into limp mode often under acceleration when i brought it in. i'm getting married in two days so i just didn't have time to trouble shoot this...
