Mine was npt covered and I have the damed extended warranty!!!

Go to a different dealer immediately and call VW.

Collapsed lifter not pumping up? Kind of what it sounds like to me. Sounded a little louder with a little more peddle (power application in a higher gear). Cannot imagine that has anything to do with fuel. Sounds like 1 out of the 4 cyl.

Boy if that clock were not electronic, it sure sounds just like the pulsation you would hear from a clock. I would take it does not change with the car on or off? If that is the case find the fuse that runs the radio clock and pull it. If it stops....

Well I agree with what you say seeing the other thread, but could this be the same problem you are experiencing with the ignition? That was what lead me to think flood, but with all the salt and snow you guys get, it may have spread further(independently of course) and if the system is set up...

Hey Sam, Not saying it was, but with the keysys system and this, was the car flooded? Check in the nooks and crannies that would be hard to clean. Sorry to suggest this, but boy it smells of water damage. I hope it is not.

I really hope you are monitoring your EGTs. With my cold front on i can quickly hit high temps on a long grade. You need to know when to back off not to fry the turbo.

I have been reading on other sites about AGM batteries. They like a reduced voltage charge. The Passat I have runs at 14.5 = or - 0.1. Apparently due to the lower resistance in the AGM they should only charge at 13.9 volts. I gather it starts to be as though the battery is overcharging all the...

Going downhill, the turbo fins should be retracted and spinning as slow as at idle. Granted the engine being driven hard especially with our blowtorch effect, is an issue. As have been stated, the synthetic oil should flow. I certainly would try to keep the rev's down but I certainly use...

I have 4 if you want to buy them. Noisy from new. I have over sized Generals on now, they are quiet as can be. The summer tire equivalent of my winters. Great tires and Handcraps were junk. I will sell um cheap......

So do the DRLs twist out Lefty Lucy Righty Tighty???

Yep, I believe consumption is only 10W per bulb

Any help would be appreciated

Veedub. I am having a heck of a time getting out the DRL. They twist out? is the thing that feels like a big paddles what the light is in? Lefty Lucy? Cannot budge it.

I'll live with the light. I wonder if we coat the probe..... Oh wait..... That is the issue!

Well today I had a call from VW. I had written to them questioning what I should set my alarms for EGT1 and DPF, which they could not tell me. That being said I told them that the car needs a second battery like the VR6 Passat. I also gave him the suggestion that the PID should have a...

What insurance company did you have? Damn I would not have thought that would be covered.

I agree with the two battery idea. I am considering AGM, since they more readily accept charge that the old style. My car has typically been driven 80 miles per day. Until this spring. I have purchased a trickle charger. Will allow it to charge this week. It is one of the pulse chargers, to help...

hi guys, My 2012 Passat battery stranded me at the airport in 0F weather. The car is not yet 3 years old. my 05 Passat TDI the battery lasted only as long. I am very disapointed with the OEM battery and am looking at a 850 CCA AGM Diehard. We had a heck of a time getting it started, good heavy...

The whole point for the shutdown restart, you can stop the regen and cool it down. This is what I do now. I will do it religiously, Would rather be late than fry my turbo.
