#31 of 36 b-pillar and other noises by abbear Sep 20, 2007 (5:01 am)
Replying to: jaylo247 (Oct 09, 2006 7:18 pm) my car is at the dealer today to get looked at by an area vw rep for the b-pillar noises. i was told that my '07 passat wagon falls within the vin range of suspect cars and that the rep would assess if vw was going to take care of me or not. it is a large undertaking, peeling back the headliner and breaking down the pillars, filling the pillars with some sort of foam to take care of the gaps they left during manufacturing. we have had the car about 6 months and along with the b-pillar noises, it seems to be a bit of a rattletrap. i am waiting to see what vw says about it before making a move, but are others underwhelmed by the symphony of creaks and squeaks coming from inside of their new vw's?
#32 of 36 sluggish at low speeds? by fleased Feb 13, 2008 (9:53 am)
I have a 2003 Passat and I've noticed that it seems a little sluggish lately. At lower speeds when I try to accelerate it seems a bit unresponsive and has to rev quite high before it shifts gears. I don't notice it at higher speeds. It's not a dramatic problem, but when I get in the wife's jetta it's like night and day; it's way more responsive. A different car I know... It is due for an oil change, and I'm taking it in on Friday, but I was wondering if that or a dirty oil filter could make that much of a difference, or does it sound like it might be more of a transmission issue? It has 45k miles--could a trans flush be on the horizon, or am I barking up the wrong tree? Thanks in advance, Steve r.

Replying to: bvigersky (Sep 11, 2007 2:48 pm) I just read your message. I have an automatic 2004 Passat and it has always had an occassional accelaration hesitation at take off since I first bought it (new). What fix do I need to ask about? Thanks Replies to this message: bvigersky (Sep 28, 2008 2:36 pm)

Replying to: rlo1016 (Sep 28, 2008 8:50 am) After complaining several times, the service manager finally told me that there was a recall and a new chip was put in which has eliminated the problem.
#35 of 36 acceleration stutter after oil change by matthewt24 Oct 16, 2008 (4:37 am)
I recently had the oil changed on my 04 GLS wagon (Valvoline Syntec). Since then, upon accelerating from a stopped position, there is a very noticeable stutter. Can anyone think of any possible causes? Sloppy oil change; poor fitting of the oil filter; topping off of any fluids incorrectly? I'd like to bring the issue up with the mechanic; however, I'd like to be somewhat educated and offer a few suggestions. Thanks in advance for any insight.
