#8207 of 8249 Re: Is Passat a good used car? [nick2006matrix] by bobgwtw Oct 06, 2008 (9:27 pm)
Replying to: nick2006matrix (Oct 03, 2008 11:30 pm) According to J. D. Powers. consumer reports, Edmunds forums etc., these cars are about the most trouble prone you could buy; and repairs at any VW dealer almost require a 2nd mortgage to pay for them. I'd avoid a used VW like the plague.
#8208 of 8249 2001 1.8T Passat - need diagram for turbo installation by tucsonmike Nov 10, 2008 (3:00 pm)
Hi. Does anyone know where I can see a blow-up diagram of the area surrounding the turbo on a 2001 Passat 1.8T engine? Preferably online somewhere?   I'm trying to find all of the gaskets and crush washers and o-rings, all of these little parts that I'll need, when I replace the turbo charger on my 2001 1.8T Passat. (Engine code is AUG).   It's a fairly new rebuilt longblock engine, and when installed it was with a cheapo turbo which has blown its bearing. So I purchased a new KKK (really Borg-Warner now) turbocharger. The B-W (B-W part is 5303 988 0029, which correlates to VW part number 058 145 703J). I've got the exhaust gasket and the intake gasket, but it looks like there are various crush washers and seals needed (e.g. for the oil send and return lines). Can anyone out there point me to a blow-up diagram, or even just a recommended parts list, for all of these little goodies that I'll need?   Mike

I have been looking, to no avail, for instructions/how-tos on how to replace the front right turn signal bulb on my 2001 Passat. Does anyone know of such a guide or source of information? Thanks in advance. Replies to this message: gdubyasvw (Nov 24, 2008 9:35 pm)

Replying to: dhdan (Nov 24, 2008 10:25 am) Good luck with that. I finally had my dealer do it when I took the car in for an oil change. Didn't cost too much and saved me some spiked blood pressure moments.
#8211 of 8249 Stutter/Surge at take off by gdubyasvw Nov 24, 2008 (9:39 pm)
I have a '02 Passat with the V6 motor. It has a bit of a stutter/stall/surge throttle response when pulling away from stop or slow role. Any help. I've heard it might be the transaxle programming itself which requires reprogramming. Can it be reprogrammed easily?
#8212 of 8249 Passat Electricdal Problem by Passat23 Dec 31, 2008 (5:01 am)
I recently removed and replaced the glove box to replace the light. After reinstalling, the dome lights and locks and glove box light do not come on and the car will not start. Other dash lights and head lights work. Starter will not turn. Is this a fuse or did I cut a wire? I tried several fuses but all seem OK. Help

#8214 of 8249 when buying 4 cyl (1.8T) by krzyss Jan 10, 2009 (6:12 pm)
ask for maintenance record. It must show oil changes each 5K miles and only oils meeting certain (VW 502.00 or 503.01) specification (the easiest available are Mobil 1 0W40 and Castrol Syntec 0W30). V6 is not as picky with oil as I4 but must use the same oils.   Krzys
