#8158 of 8249 Re: Considering buying a 2004 Passat GLS Wagon, manual [altair4] by a2mx Apr 28, 2007 (11:45 am)
Replying to: altair4 (Apr 26, 2007 7:24 am) Thanks for your reply. I was planning on test-driving the car over a weekend, but it got sold before I could get to it.   Mid- to large-sized wagons with manual transmission seem to be the most rare type of car species...   I'm now vacillating between used VW Passat and BMW 525 wagon. Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated.
#8159 of 8249 MASTER BOOT MECHANICAL ERROR by melinitemplin May 01, 2007 (7:19 am)
can anyone tell me if they have ever heard of this. Also, my car is still running sluggish...any ideas. It is not registering on the computer at the mechanic and my auto dealership is just barely turning in the paperwork today. Could this be thoes ignition coils, the tranny or something else like a fuel pump

Replying to: melinitemplin (Apr 24, 2007 12:24 pm) The car won't jump off the line because the turbo typically won't kick in until around 2,250-2,500 RPM (at least that's how mine works). You could probably mod it with a supercharger to get more GO off the line. You'll feel the benefits of the turbo at higher RPM's like when you get ready to pass someone or accelerate on the freeway.
#8161 of 8249 Passat for sale-Beautiful Body for part-Does not run by frantime Jun 02, 2007 (4:41 pm)
I have a 1998 used Passat that I bought from a reputable dealership for my daughter when she started driving in 2003. It was maintained by me consistently. One day last, February 2006 it stopped running at a stop light as she was on her way to school. It needed a new engine part that would cost anywhere from $8,000-10,000 so I opted out on doing this. I would like to sell the car for the body which is in EXCELLENT condition. Replies to this message: shipo (Jun 02, 2007 7:19 pm)

Replying to: frantime (Jun 02, 2007 4:41 pm) Any idea why the engine quit? Did it get sludged?   FWIW, I suspect that you can take your car to a local European car specialist and have them rebuild your existing motor for somewhere between $2,000-$4,000. I just took a look at the individual parts that would be required for a rebuild and they really aren't all that expensive.   Best Regards, Shipo
