Have you changed tires? What about air filter? Tire pressure? Wheel bearings? Stuck caliper? Stuck hand brake? I think I run out of ideas. Krzys PS One more: different oil?

| So if there is a Passat that did have some sludge issues at 45k miles and the dealer found oil output was low and replaced the oil pump, assuming from here on out all future oil changes will be done in a timely manner with appropriate synthetic oil, any reason to be concerned about the engine's future? | |

Replying to: tomj2 (Jul 15, 2009 6:01 am) BTW, the web is full of stories where one would have hoped that "VW would have picked them up. Personally, I think they rely too heavily on the "there's MIL, so all must be perfect" approach to troubleshooting.

OK. So, i'm no mechanic, and it seems it's hard to find info online (vehicle manuals/diagrams) that would help me become one. First: Does anyone out there know where i could get a bootleg FREE copy of the 1999 Volkswagen Passat 1.8 turbo REPAIR MANUAL? Second: While i was driving my Passat there was a blow-out of my exahust intake manifold (where the exhaust attaches to the engine). So, naturally, of course my car sounds very loud because of the disconnection. Does anyone know what the exhaust (the part under the hood, near the engine - not under the car near the Cat) is made out of - cast iron ?? I have thought of welding it back, but am leaning towards a replacement of the part. Any feedback/knowledge sharing is appreciated!! Thanks for your time!
