#8182 of 8249 02 Passat GLX 30V w/4motion with throttle hes. by tdstaat Sep 01, 2007 (1:11 am)
Replying to: marsha7 (Oct 26, 2000 9:10 pm) I'm at a loss. I absolutely love this car, but sometimes love to hate it. Its the 30V 2.8L with 4motion and triptronic. I accelerate as normal but when I get to around 2500 to 3000 rpms, it's like I let my foot off the gas, but I push it down harder and I get no response from the engine. It starts just slowing down to an idle. Then out of nowhere (with my foot still on the gas) it takes off like a jackrabbit. I'm defenitely a DIY guy to a point and like to figure out the problem before I take it in to a shop. But I don't even know where to begin with this one. Anybody with any ideas?

#8186 of 8249 Re: TO IVAN 99...Purchase? [ivan_99] by jimmmmmy Sep 28, 2007 (6:20 pm)
Replying to: ivan_99 (Aug 11, 2007 4:28 am) IVAN 99 - Well, the 2001 passat 1.8T is absolutely the worst car I have ever owned. Many, many problems w/engine, sensors, electronics, trunk latch, glove box, etc... I bought it new and I still have it... each time I have had a repair (by the dealer), I say, "that must be the last problem." But, it never is. The only good thing about the car is the paint job. When clean it looks as shiny as new. Good luck to you...I would look for a Honda or a Toyota if you have not purchased VW yet. I would look at Hyundai before VW as well.

Replying to: jslade (Oct 01, 2007 5:15 pm) PLEASE STOP YELLING, IT'S CONSIDERED RUDE AND RATHER ANNOYING. Thank you.   That said, your car came with a special insert that deals with resetting the radio (which was probably built in Asia by the way). If you don't have it, call VWoA, I believe they keep them on file.   Best Regards, Shipo
