Passat (B5) :: Oil Inside Intake Hose / Seal Leaking
195,000 miles on a 1.8T I removed the intake hose that connects the inter cooler to the throttle body and noticed a bit of oil inside the hose. I was guessing it may have come from the turbo due to a leaky seal, but this is strictly a guess. The car doesn't consume too much oil (maybe a quart or less between changes). What is the life expectancy for a turbo?

I was chasing down a P2074 CEL and thought it was a stressed wiring harness connection on the MAF.
Took it to the Ford house and they chased it for 2 days, believing it was the MAF and air filter. They told me that air filter was allowing to much air in. My thoughts was, that is was what MAF is for, to regulate the fuel based on how much air was going in.
I just found out that they are stating that an AFE dry air filter contributed to a cracked intake manifold because the aftermarket air filter made the intake get too hot.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Brake Vacuum Line Is Cracked After Check Valve On Intake Side
Question, I have a 2003 VW Golf GLS 2.0L AHV (5 speed). The brake vacuum line is cracked after the check valve on the intake side. I looked up the part number on the hose (at work and don't have it on me at the moment), did some research and noticed some revisions to that part number. Eventually settled on [URL] ..... (I ordered a new one since I needed to order a few things). Needless to say, I am beginning to think I ordered wrong.
I noticed that the check valve on the new hose has a 3rd piece that a smaller hose looks to clamp on? The check valve that is in my car doesn't have that. Did I order the wrong part? or did I need to be a cap?

So I replaced my air filters today and my drivers side intake hose was wet with a brownish oily substance. I looked around for obvious culprit but found none. Looks like there is an aluminum brick there for brakes but it was shinny and clean the shock tower covers had what looked like built up of this substance. Doesn't leak onto the driveway and see no other signs anywhere else.

When my 2001 Echo is in drive and I am stopped, the air filter box and that whole assembly as well as the intake hose shakes and vibrates and makes a noise. It doesn't happen in neutral or park or when I start driving. Also, when I was looking at this, I could see that when the car is put into or out of gear the engine moves slightly, is this normal?
View 13 RepliesFord F-150 - 1997-2003 :: 2000 - Run Rough - Big Hose At Rear Of Upper Intake?
I just replaced the engine in my F--150 with one from a van that had only 60K miles on it. It still runs rough and misses. Not as bad as the earlier engine that had dropped a valve. While trying to find the problem, I moved a large vacuum? hose at the rear of the engine maybe 1 inch diameter and it nearly fell off the barb at the back It is also connected at the other end to some type of small metal can. When I pulled on this it fell off and the engine died.
Also need the smaller 5/8 in diameter hose at front of air intake tube. I need a size or a pert number for this hose as I cannot crawl back onto the motor very many times due to a spinal problem. I would like to get this hose and then get under the firewall only one time. I am having issues with this truck, bought is used at auction running rough. Replaced engine with one that was supposed to be a good one, but it runs rough again..
I need to add that New platinum [plugs were installed and the coils were off the old engine that had maybe 50 miles on them and were from NAPA. I only hope htis hose is my problem. However I cannot find any part number or anything on it...

So I have a 2000 Echo with about 129k miles on it. I parked it in my driveway for the winter to drive my SUV in the snow (I live in Wisconsin).
After a couple months of the bite of the gas mileage difference I dug her out and noticed that the drivers side rear wheel was locked up. I presumed it was simply due to it sitting in snow for a long while. So I jacked up the rear, popped the tire off and WHAM, a rusted through pipe falls flat on the floor of my garage.
I trace it back to a port right behind the fuel intake - tho not the main intake line itself. I then find its other half, still connected via rubber tubing to a black hub of sorts.
Here are some pictures with a vision of what I am talking about:
The entire hose in two pieces:
The port where the hose was connected by the fuel intake:
The port on the hub where the rubber sided other half of the hose connects:
The hose pieces side by side on the trunk of the car for scale:
Passat (B5) :: Oil Pan Cracked Twice With Short Intervals
Alright so, the oil pan in my 1999 Passat V6 cracked in about March, and then it cracked again today. I am wondering, is there suppose to be some sort of protective sheet that goes over the oil pan so that it's not just hanging out there to get mauled by any bumps in the road that come it's way.

first, it was a crack. then not too much later a pop. a piece of glass fell out of the cracked lens. water in the housing = blown bulb.
I love the info screen that tells me the right fog light is out!

but I HATE that when I went to my dealer to get a lens,
I learn that it's an enclosed fog light and it's $114.XX to replace?

Any leads on where I should be looking for a replacement for less?
Passat (B6) :: 08 - Center Bar And RHS Clip Cracked In Half In Hot Sun
Yesterday, I tried to use my rear window roll-up sun shade while parked in the hot sun, pulled gently up on the center bar, and the RHS clip ---which rides in the tracks along the C-pillars---cracked in half!
08 Passat Owners, the rear roll-up sun shade (NOT the rear door shades) on your car is very fragile! VW uses some kind of lexan plastic molded insert which fits into the tracks. Any out of plane stress on the fittings will damage them, rendering the entire shade useless. Luckily my dealer had a new fitting in stock and the repair was made in less than 10 minutes.
Passat (B7) :: 2012 - Cracked Oil Filter Housing
I'll be back to post the whole situation if the dealer doesn't make right on what I'm going through right now, but wanted to ask as I didn't find much searching, any issue with a cracked oil filter housing? I took car in for 30k service and came back leaking oil. Apparently part is back ordered and may take weeks. I spoke with ECS tuning and they said they don't have their aluminum filter housing yet for this model.
