I never had one of these before. I was chacing a coolant leak which I expected was on the rear of the engine. I changed the coolant manifold and the oil soaked vent line. It turned out to be the egr . Since the car had over 300000 miles and it would make the odd hiccup while driving I also...

So settled in watching a movie, couple of tokes, 11'30 pm, wife calls, oil light is coming on. She is 102 miles away. I make the drive with some oil, but as expected not the problem. Get it towed home the next day. I get the turbo off. Oilly says easy peasy. Me, most of a day with both...

Out of fluid. Any way to know the leak other than fill and observe? Rad area looks clean. Nothing looks wrong with the lines. Left output looks clean. Right side looks oily and cannot see input area. If it proved to be right output could a seal be changed without pullin the tranny?

Not even eighty yet. Replacing my FHN tranny after repair. Tore the passenger side cv boot with the spring yoke. Now can't seem to get the shaft out. Was easy with the auto tranny. Is something different with a standard. Just ranting because I am tired and pissed off.

A third of the way through an eight hour drive, suddenly, the tranny would not go into 1st gear. It was like it hit a wall when trying. At the same time going into 3rd started making a snick, not going in as smoothly as before. They would seem connected, anybody have any idea why. I was also...

My son, dear boy, had an accident, totaled the car, 2005 passat tdi wagon. Scratched the bumper and the passenger airbag deployed. Wrecked the opposing car,a BMW. So, I can't seem to find any info on replacing the passenger side airbag. Any info would be appreciated. Does the sensor or any other...

Does the differential have a seperate oil supply than the transmission?

My 2.8 4 motion key will not come out of the ignition. Why? I assume the ignition is some how buggered. I have a TDI parts car. The ignition, I assume, would be the same. If I was able to move it to the 4 motion my 4 motion key would not work I assume. If I use the TDI key I assume the car...

For the front there seems to be the possibility of 82 or 75 mm od. Which is it for our tdis or does one need to remove and measure? I would prefer to have one on hand before starting the operation.

Ok, not a B5.5. It is a 98 Audi quatro 2.8. The lights do not work on high or low beam. However lifting the lever to momontary high beam they work. What is likely the problem? Broken wire in the stalk. Might there be a relay somewhere? Also cruise does not work and it hasn't since I have...

So, the coolant light came on on my wifes Passat. About two quarts of green antifreeze was added. I wish she had just used water. What will be the result of that? I intend to drain, flush, and fill with proper coolant.

So we have a dead glow plug on my wifes BHW. The car was taken in for upgraded glow plugs at the dealer, probably 2011. I wrongly assumed it would be the 7 volt N105 916 09. It turns out they are 5 volt steelies. Did we miss an upgrade or is this the current plugs. N 105 916 07? They do...

Right side back of the engine. It went from maybe one quart/oil change to suddenly one quart for 200 miles. Can a leaking tandem pump gasket leak that much? Is there other possibilities of a leak that could be that big? Looking up from below the green temperature sesor is washed clean. 1/2...

Iam working on the 05 Passat 4 motion 2.8. Symtom, no heat. I left CLR inthe core overnight. Now flushing and backflushing with diluted CLR. The pump is a bilge pump. Capable of hi flow, likely low pressure. I get less than a little finger stream from it. About a pint in 20 seconds. That...

Here we go again. One of twelve triple square bolts stripped. Anybody have a good solution for removal. I have a bolt out kit but there is a lack of clearance for it. I don't like the idea of using the hot knife, lots of grease and oil around. This is the front of the 4 motion with the v6...

Small problem with my 05 Passat. The sunroof insists on staying open as in popped up at the back. Whatever I do with the control it closes then pops open again. Any insight anyone?

It reads the codes on my 05 passats(5 of them) fine. I am trying to work on the brakes on my sons 98 Audi A4 quatro. ABS light is on and brake light flashing. The VCDS will read the engine but nothing else. Is this normal? I believe I have the light version.

I had a rough ride off the road dodging a semi. One of the already cloudy lens headlight broke both the mounts and internal adjustments. I am wondering if there are better options than the stock Hella lights.

So on my BHW Passat wagon I am looking for an implausable MAF signal cure. It has been suggested here that a turbo system leak is a plausable cause. Some use smoke to find minor leaks. I am wondering how they do it. Is there a smoke machine? I do not have one. My thought is to use a shop vac...
