Jeep - Liberty :: 2003 - Exhaust Leak And Engine Missing
My '03 Jeep Liberty developed a quite audible hole in the exhaust system overnight (sound is coming from engine compartment) and at the same time has begun missing. The missing occurs most often in the low end of gears - once through the gears (in 4th or 5th) and at highway speeds it smooths out again. My question is are these two problems related?

I was looking at my exhaust manifold..and I found a couple of studs missing...so if I want to replace both of them , is it better if I replace all of them on both sides of the engine ?
By the way..my exhaust manifold is good I don't think none of the studs are broken.. but I have been having this engine knocking noise on my engine, do yall think a couple of studs could be the problem of why my engine is knocking?
Passat (B5) :: 2001 - Missing Fan On Engine?
It is missing a fan in the engine compartment but it doesn't seem to overheat. The fan is not the radiator fan and I am wondering if it is a problem. If I sit at a light the smell of burnt oil also starts coming into the car through the heater. I am just wondering, what kind of oil recommended for a passat with that kind of mileage?
View 9 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Engine Missing After Oil Changed
Changed the oil in the car today, I added 4.5 liters and went to start it and it was misfiring. I thought what the hell did I do to the car to run so rough..I shut it down and checked the level and topped it up. Started the car and it was fine ..
I am thinking that because the oil filler cap was removed and started that the computer detected something changed in the engine . This is the first time an engine has done this to me, these things are fine tuned..Must be something to do with the pvc valve system.
Passat (B5) :: 1998 - Check Engine Light On And Car Started Missing
Lets start at the beginning. About two weeks ago my girlfriend got a check engine light and the car started missing( 98 Passat 1.8T, 5 speed). Checked obvious things like fuel delivery-good. Pulled coil packs and had no spark on #2 cyl. Investigated more and found one of the pins on the ign. control module was shorted. Felt pretty sure that was the problem since everything else checked out. Ordered a Huco installed it and that fixed the problem except the car seemed slow reprogramming to the new part. I disconnected the battery to clear the memory and that seemed to do the trick.
About 2 weeks later my GF is coming home and fortunately it died in front of the apartment. Checked everything again. Getting fuel, no wires shorted on ign. or fuel harness plus they all get power just no signal when checking with an LED tester. Ign. module was good also. Checked speed sensor for resistance per the book it was good. Tried a new Camshaft Pos. Sensor hoping that was the problem, no luck. I believe it must be the computer. I'm trying to get one from a salvage yard. I don't know if the old computer can be reprogrammed or not. Also was wondering if the dealer(where I really do not want to go) can test the computer somehow and tell me if it is bad or not(don't know if I would trust them anyway), just wanted to include that option.
Passat (B5) :: Coil Pack Failure - Engine Start Missing
1.8 had recent coil pack problems? I recently had a coil pack fail in very hot weather 2 weeks ago. This week during another heat wave I believe the coil was again causing the engine to start missing. I know about VW's past reliability problems concerning coil packs and am now concerned that this may be surfacing again.
View 8 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: MK4 GTI Exhaust Leak Or Possible Bolt Missing
Brief back story, a year ago my timing belt went and had to replace the cylinder head and all associated parts. No problems since then, until now. Recently the check engine has come on, and got the code for an exhaust leak. Can't remember the exact code number, but the leak wasn't causing a lean condition or causing the engine to act weird so I left it until I had to time to find the leak. On the way home today I noticed an exhaust leak that got increasingly worse to the point where at a stop light I'd go to accelerate and it would pull away very sluggishly. Got home, opened the hood and tracked down the exhaust leak to somewhere around the manifold/downpipe/turbo area. I took off my cover and noticed what could be a bolt missing, and upon further inspection a bolt that may be coming loose.
Here's what I'm referring to:
- Missing bolt?
- Loose bolt missing bolt?
- Loose bolt?
Passat (B6) :: Engine / Exhaust Noise Suddenly Tripled When Accelerate
I apparently broke the old girl again. Just hopping off the freeway, had been going freeway speed, go to accelerate after making the turn and my car suddenly sounded like I had ripped the exhaust off. Just a loud awful sound. Doesn't seem to have affected how she runs but... This is no bueno. In the morning I'll be hopping under the hood to see if it's something I can fix. Haven't checked to see if this is a warranty issue or not, but it'd be great if it is and somehow they extended it above 80k but I doubt it. I'd try and fix it myself depending on what happened, unfortunately I don't have much int he way of tools at the moment.

Yaris/Scion & Vitz :: 2000 Toyota Echo Missing And Backfiring At Exhaust When Press Gas In Park
I have a 2000 toyota echo that idles great but starts missing and backfiring at the exhaust when I press the gas in park. When I put the car into drive or reverse the idle sounds like it wants to die and sometimes dies unless I press the gas. When I drive it the car gets to about 10mph and starts missing and backfiring at the exhaust. So far I've removed the coils one at a time while car running and noticed a difference. I've removed each of the injector wires while running and noticed a difference. replaced plugs and replaced the pcv valve replaced fuel filter and ran car with external fuel pump. I'm at a loss at what direction to go next. this all started around the time my alternator died and I replaced it.

Just finished changing my oil and noticed that the dipstick was cracked. Upon further inspection I noticed the end which mates with the plastic tube was cracked and there were missing chips. I can only imagine where they ended up, in the oil. My question is, what to do? Since this is a plastic component, I assume that it will not harm the interior engine parts, but not 100% sure.

Recently my B5.5 V6 has been acting funny when I start it after it has sat for a while (several hours). It doesn't want to start, and when it does, it seems to be missing. Clears out pretty quickly, but it's got me scratching my head. Only does this when it's been sitting for a while (>5-6 hours or so). I'm thinking fuel pressure accumulator.
View 3 RepliesPassat (B5) :: 2002 - Some Fuses Are Missing?
I have just bought the Passat 2002 TDI AVF engine. When I open the fuse box cover and look at the scheme, I can conclude that some fuses are missing. Probably I don't understand the symbols' meanings. For example the fuse 41 is missing, but my ABS works. But I have the ESP so though that is the same device probably the fuse 42 is for ABS too. Then, the fuse 9 is missing, and my car has the mirror heat function. How can I test do they work? Does the little symbol on the heat switch become yellow when they work? Fuse 10 is missing if I understood the symbol was for CD. My car has Charger in the back and it works.
The last thing is fuse 1. What is this fuse for? Is it for headlight washer, and if is, what is the fuse 3 for? I disregarded the possibility that some cars may have the washing water heater and it is may be for that. My car doesn't have either headlights washer or water heater. The fuse 18 is for long beam and signal lamp, it is obvious.
Passat (B5) :: 2000 - A/C Not Working - Relay Missing
Looking at figuring out why my a/c isn't working. Has a full charge but just doesn't come on. Trying to check the relay (384), but my car seems to be missing it (2000 V6 fwd w/ climatronic). It appears I have two slots open, although I think one of the slots is where I took the DRL relay from. I have a slot open on top next to relay 267 or one on the bottom row next to relay 370. Or because of the climatronic, is it a different relay?
View 1 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Missing Duct Cover On Air Intake
This is my first B6, but my sixth VW so no stranger to them....
Bought this one a few weeks ago and just noticed it is missing the Duct Cover on the intake, so there is a large opening on the top of the intake pipe. Just wondering if this would cause a reduction in power or MPG?
The cover & Air Inlet Duct, which is cracked and the reason the cover probably fell off, are on order, but was curious if I should see any difference in the way it runs once these are replaced.
Passat (B5) :: 1998 VW V6 Tiptronic Motor Getting Hot And Missing
I have a 1998 Passat v6 triptronic I recently had a lot of work done on the car including a new throttle body I have noticed since I got it back from the mechanic after a short drive it starts to miss and you can actually feel the motor shaking around through the drivers seat, I had a couple of passengers in my car (back seat) and they could feel it too, seems to be fine when I first start to drive it but after around 5 minutes it starts shaking, I also noticed today when I got home I opened the bonnet and the motor seemed hot as did all of the parts around the motor including the water in the top up tank. friends keep telling me it could be my spark plug leads but I am more inclined to think it may be a coil, when I check the temperature gauge it is on half way and this seems to be normal for my car so it's not showing that the motor is getting hot.

View 8 RepliesPassat (B5) :: 2002 - Missing Intermittently - CEL Came On - Losing Power?
I have a 2002 Passat 1.8T. It has been acting funny for a couple weeks now. It seems to be missing, then last night I took off from a four way stop and the engine light started to blink and the car was loosing power and not really taking any throttle. I managed to get it into a parking lot then I popped the hood and first noticed the inside of the turbo was lit up bright red. Now I dont know if this was cause from me trying to throttle it to get into the parking lot while it was loosing power or if my problem is the turbo or maybe an exhaust issue. I hooked up the diagnostic tool and the only thing read was P0303 for cylinder 3 so I dont know if the misfire was from the loosing power or if this is my issue.
View 10 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Rough Start - Cylinders Missing For Like 5 Seconds Then Fine
When I start my car it seems like some of the cylinders are missing for like 5 seconds then runs fine. Sometimes its quite violent and this morning it stalled the first time I tried. The colder it is outside the worse this becomes.
The car is still under warranty, but you have to wait a week to get the car into the dealer here and a battery wouldn't be covered anyway. Here is what I have so far.
Bad battery : The car has 45k miles on it and as far as I know the battery is stock. Also, when I did the 40k service I seem to remember something about the battery on the invoice (I will look), but I was too busy worrying about the bald tires. I do generally leave my ipod plugged into my car stereo (which charges it) over night, so that is putting a drain on it. I am going to take it out of the car tonight and see if that makes a difference. I suppose I could take the battery to O'Reilly's and have them test it, but it seems like it would be in their best interest to lie.
Coolant temperature sensor : The car was recently in the shop and they said they found a small coolant leak and fixed it, maybe the sensor became damaged? Most reports I see about this suggest the car runs rough for much longer than mine and must be fed gas.
