Dennis is a great standup guy. Did excellent work on my B5.

I got a kick of out this one from our ex VW mechanic. https://youtu.be/2GGWhOkx3HE

There are some around, I'm a couple hours south of you in Breezewood.

I want to say dealer price on mine was around $4,500. Besides the turbo they dig into oil lines and oil pump as I remember. As I remember they get pretty through about replacing anything that might have gotten some debris in it.

Wouldn't have it any other way ;);)

Ahhh now this makes sense as to why my Passat kept throwing codes and they couldn't fix it. Oh well, I like my Kerma fix better.

I believe others have called it a stumble. I have not noticed it very much on mine but from what I've read in the section specifically for our Passats http://forums.tdiclub.com/forumdisplay.php?f=86 it is the reprogramming. The new program places an emphasis on warming the engine and exhaust...

I'm guessing you are missing the owners manual as well, the procedure is documented in there if you have it. I have never had to have my car moving to reset. I also have never had the car running, in fact when I did try to reset mine with the car running it wouldn't reset. The following is...

I have 230,000 miles on mine without any issue with the oil belt.

Since you cleared all your codes and these came back I don't believe it is a coding issue and more a problem with the tire pressure warning system. I think your only solution will be to take it to the dealer and have them fix the TPS module.

I use them all the time. They are very professional and always upfront with me.

I found I like to drive mine in Tip/Manual mode. You can up/down shift as needed to pick the gear you want. I found mine worked very well this way.

Been there done this - it won't work. The power needs to be on but the ENGINE OFF.

For the Kerma tune No. You read the transmission then send that file to Kerma and they e-mail you back the tune. You only need to access the transmission connector to read the file, the tune is loaded via the OBD connector. With Kerma the $399 is just the tune. There is a $1,000 deposit...

It is probably part of the "warm up" routine, especially if you have had the fix done. Fixed cars are reprogrammed to warm up faster to get the emissions down which has them closing the exhaust valve more causing the shudder to be worse. The only options I know of are to wait a bit longer and...

I agree it sounds fuel related, unfortunately I don't have an answer. You might want to consider moving this to the B5 forum ( http://forums.tdiclub.com/forumdisplay.php?f=65 ). That is a good place to find members that use and work on your model every day.

I can see it now, the car comes in and the previous owner did not put the key in the glove box (just like me) but gave them the key along with the FOBs. Being the "knowledgeable" salespeople they put the valet key in the folder with everything else about the car instead of putting it on the...

Sorry the plastic key is not straight, it does have a pattern to it. On my '12 I received 2 of the keys along with a tag that has a code number on it. My guess would be the same as others have said. You can go to the dealership and request a new key and they can make/have it made for you...

38 is probably about right for that speed. I ran between 38 and 42, depending on the temp, in mine doing ~75 on the highway. You should checkout and post in the B5 forum http://forums.tdiclub.com/forumdisplay.php?f=65 as you will get a lot more detailed and specific answers from members who...
