View 11 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.

I have a passat B5 2.3 VR5 with aircondition and I have been thinking about to build a climatronic system in the car I did have a climatronic in my old passat B5 V6 TDI and I was so happy about it, The refit part are not the hardest thing, but what about the wiring part? do people rebuild their own wiring system, or is there made a wire kit to the climatronic system.
View 4 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Have To Compensate Steering To Keep Car Straight On Highway
I've always felt the steering of our Passat a little loose on the highway. By loose I mean I start turning it and there's a tiny 'delay' until the wheels respond. Today for a few times I felt like I had to do some minor corrections to keep the car straight on the lane. Nothing major, but something I can definitely feel, specially when compared with our A4. I was wondering if others noticed the same.

I have a 2014 passat. The battery went dead and I had someone come out and recharge it and it did fine. However, the engine light is still on. I have left the car running for approximately 20 minutes in an effort to charge the battery, which it has, but the light that is shaped like an engine is still on. Does this need to go back to the dealership to fix?

View 4 RepliesPassat (B6) :: 2006 - Steering Wheel Won't Aligned Whilst Driving Straight
On my 2006 Passat, the steering wheel is not aligned (at 12 o'clock) when I'm driving straight. It is roughly at 11 o'clock position, maybe a little less. The dealership claims this will be solved with a front end wheel alignment. The car drives straight as an arrow with hands off the steering wheel so I tend to wonder.
Will a wheel alignment fix this? Or could it be something else?
Passat (B6) :: Shimmy Between 65 And 80 - Steering Wheels Slightly Tilted To Left When Driving Straight
My car has a little bit of a shimmy between 65 and 80, can feel it more when changing lanes slowly, after 80 slows down to almost nothing and by 100 is gone. Road force and high speed balanced, new set of tires (Mich. PS2) still does it. One more detail, the steering wheels is slightly tilted to the left when driving straight, anything to do with this? I'm suspecting the rotors too, but I only have 3,400 miles on my car.

Over the past 2 years have had oil burning from tail pipe after idling for a while. Now has gotten very bad. 98 Passat with 1.8t, no mods. Was told that turbo is bad and to make sure I should disconnect inter cooler pipe and see if oil is in pipe. Sure enough there was some oil that came out of the inter cooler. If it is just the turbo I need to buy a larger one and exhaust.

View 7 RepliesPrius (Gen 3) :: Power Modes Display Car Putting Torque Through Drivetrain
- handbrake = parking brake foot thing - the thing that applies rear wheel brakes when stationary;
- manual = stick-shift etc.
- service brake = normal foot brake/big middle pedal
Driving scenario: Short pauses, quick lights etc - no problem, the car is held on the normal brake and the drive knows I have my foot on the brake so shuts all drive down.
Discussion point here - at lights, longer pause in heavy traffic, level/railway crossing etc. The sort of pause where you want to take your feet off the pedals and wait.
With a manual I would put the car in neutral, apply the handbrake and wait. Then when moving again, car into gear, hand brake off balanced with clutch bite and accelerator.
The car was left in drive all the time & knew if the handbrake was applied not to try and engage forward torque/ride clutches etc. Never needed neutral on the Audi multitronic.
With Prius III when I pull up, if I leave the car in drive and apply the handbrake, then take my foot off the service brake the power modes display shows the car putting torque through the drive train - i.e. battery->motor->wheels & you can feel it pulling slightly in creep mode against the handbrake.
Passat (B5) :: 2002 - Lower Coolant Hose Not Attached To Pipe
I have a 2002 V6 Passat Wagon. I am hemorrhaging coolant out of my lower coolant pipe. I can reach it put my finger in a feel the coolant coming out as fast as I pour it in. I can't see any way to get at the pipe from the top and I can't see the hose that should be attached there from the top. I assume this means the front end will need to be jacked up and go at it from the bottom. Also note the intake and return from the heater in my car is mexi fixed and looped together (no heat).
