Hi! Any idea where I could order bushings for front sway bar Passat 2013? I see multiple places online selling ones for rear location. ECS tuning appears to have some but it’s confusing as they have 22mm, 23mm, 24mm and site says not compatible with my car. Any advice is greatly appreciated...

Update. I adjusted the position of the cable at the end of the transmission a few weeks ago and it solved the problem. It needed to be pushed a little more towards the transmission/front of the car. Thx a lot.

Hi, I just changed the Dual Mass Flywheel on my 2013 Passat TDI. I noticed that the "pin" does not engage in the transmission when I put the shifter in Park P position allowing the car to roll freely as if it was in Neutral - safety issue. Applying hand brake is needed to "park" the vehicle. I...

Changed the valve cover gasket this past week. No oil leaks anymore. Car would leak oil right away before fix.

After careful analysis, I am concluding that the oil leak is coming from a leaky valve cover. It leaks down the engine wall, bracket to DPF and into the EGR cooler as well. I also discovered a leaky exhaust egr pipe in the process. Things to do....leaky valve cover + leaky EGR pipe exhaust +...

Hi, It's been a long time since I posted here. My 2013 Passat TDI now has 380k kms. It's been leaking oil for some time so I decided to fix it. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where the leak is possible coming from? I don't have a check engine light related to EGR. The leak...

Hi, I have a 2013 TDI 2.0 Passat with 350k kms. A few months ago the transmission started acting strangely in D auto mode. Sometimes it's stuck in 1-2-3 gear ( RPM goes up to 4000 ) and it would not shift to 4-5-6 gears. Sometimes it's just stuck in 1st gear not willing to upshift at all. In...

Hi. Any ideas where I can buy a new NOx sensor besides VW dealership? I have a 2013 Passat sensor # 03L907807 AD continental part # 5WK9 6688A. Local dealership is asking $1200 for part. Their part # is also slightly different 03L907807 AF. I see businesses selling online the proper part number...

So here’s an update on my situation. I called the VW dealership and they said that I was now out of extended emission warranty. With regards to NOX sensor, I removed it and cleaned it with a carburetor cleaner from Canadian Tire. I then let it sitting in a Lucas fuel/injector cleaner solution...

A delete.

I just connected an OTC reader and the DEF light message went from 0km to 50km. Mmmm!

Hi. Well the good news is that after cleaning the NOX sensor the code is gone. I just took the car for a run and it’s regenerating right now. The 10km msg has now turned red and is indicating a NO Restart next time I turn off/on the engine. Maybe the car will restart or not. If you are able to...

Hello, Anyone available in Durham region to possibly do a DEF light reset? I tried the 30 sec turn key method with no luck. Tank is full DEF. Error msg shows I only have 10km left before a no start. Thx.

Hello. From all the reading I’ve made on this topic, it looks more likely to be a faulty DEF sensor. It could also be a problem caused by a faulty NOx sensor. All I know is that the car is inside my garage and I have 10 km left before a no engine start. I think the extended emission warranty is...

Hello, I'm looking for your advice. I have a 2013 Passat with 250k kms. I used to drive 120kms every day to work; now I barely put 300-500 km every month since I work from home due to Covid. VW did software emissions upgrade at 190k kms. At 200k kms Turbo failed and it was replaced under...
