Replying to: maurao (Dec 03, 2006 10:48 am) I just sold my 2000 vw passat to my brother and he just had the same problem happen to him. Did you find a solution? Replies to this message: maurao (Dec 05, 2006 8:13 am) v_d (Dec 07, 2006 4:35 pm)

Replying to: car1313 (Dec 04, 2006 6:30 pm) No solution yet. But the following day we were finally able to remove the key. Still wondering what caused the problem as it will probably happen again....

Replying to: car1313 (Dec 04, 2006 6:30 pm) should I use Mobil 1 0w-40 in Toronto, Canada (it`s kind of cold in the winter -20 is quite usual) or should I stick to the rec 5w-40 on a '03 Passat 1.8T?   What difference does it make anyways? Oh.. and how often should I make oil changes, from what I read about 5000 miles is the limit and that`s like 7000 km... that`s fine right?

manual says 502.00   Krzys   PS The oil I am using (Mobil 0W40) meets more recent spec.   PS2 Should I have said 502.00 or higher ? Replies to this message: shipo (Dec 08, 2006 9:59 am)

Replying to: krzyss (Dec 08, 2006 6:25 am) "PS2 Should I have said 502.00 or higher?"   Kinda, sorta, maybe. The VW/Audi oil specifications are a tad confusing in how they were numbered. In your query, the "...or higher?" part might lead one to believe that oil that meets the VW 505.00 spec would be better still when compared to either the 502.00 or 503.01 specs. That is unfortunately not correct as the 505.xx and 506.xx oil specifications are intended for diesel engines. That a few oils happen to meet 502.xx, 503.xx and 505.xx (Mobil 1 0W-40 for instance) simply confuses the issue further.   For a quick primmer on the various published specs from VW & Audi, take a peek at the following post of mine from March of this year:   shipo, "Volkswagen Passat Oil Changes & Issues" #8, 10 Mar 2006 8:48 pm   Best Regards, Shipo
