#21 of 44 oil in cooling system /overheating by rwheeler1 Nov 05, 2007 (11:22 am)
2002 1.8t passat.my car overheated and dumped all the coolent.when i removed the filler cap the resovire was full of oil. called the vw dealer and questioned the service manager about a headgasket problem he says its most likely the turbo since the car is not smoking or running rough. i removed both the oil and coolant lines from the turbo and there is oil in the coolant port.since the dealer is 500kms away i have to do this job. so would this be a seal replacement or a complete turbo job? new turbo is 1250 bucks. or would you know where i could get mine rebuilt?tks roy Replies to this message: ifco (Dec 09, 2007 10:28 pm)
#22 of 44 2000 Passat 1.8T manual by ifco Dec 09, 2007 (10:20 pm)
Where to begin. Turbo blew, oil in the coolant about 2 years ago. VW cleaned out coolant system with Simple Green. That is all they ca use because of Environmentalist. About 6 months ago no heat from heater. Brought car to VW and now they say new heater core, $1200.00 to repair. Is there another way to clean out the core. Also trunk leaks for no apparent reason. Any suggestions??

Replying to: rwheeler1 (Nov 05, 2007 11:22 am) my 2000 passat had the same problem. The warranty was good up to 100,000 miles. So, check it out. VW would not pay for the tow.

#25 of 44 wire problems by kmd3 Dec 19, 2007 (3:20 pm)
My car resently started shaking while I was idling at a red light. The engine light came on and I had it towed to my mechanic. He said that 2 of the 4 ignitor coils were bad. He thought that this was odd since I don't have many miles on the car yet. Has anyone else had this problem? What did you do about it? Are there any recalls that I might not know about?

Replying to: rwheeler1 (Dec 11, 2007 10:06 am) You can get oil in the coolant at the oil cooler, right above the oil filter. The cooler exchanges heat between the oil and coolant. It's not an uncommon issue. You might want to check your oil for coolant, too. Coolant is muy mal for the bearings....   Google this: passat oil cooler leaking Replies to this message: chfan28 (Nov 04, 2008 10:08 am)
#27 of 44 2002 Passat 1.8 Turbo exhaust gasket or manifold problem by torino5 Aug 22, 2008 (11:56 pm)
When I start engine in the morning you can hear some noise coming from the bottom of the engine(like exhaust leak noise) and continue for about 2 min. and after everything is great.There is no smell, no smoke,full power.VW specialist told me the problem is….exhaust gasket or manifold crack or leak(under the turbo) something like that.Is anyone know how to change exhaust gasket or manifold(he told me needs to remove turbo).Is it a big deal… Replies to this message: altair4 (Aug 23, 2008 7:47 am) 600kgolfgt (Nov 10, 2008 6:06 pm)

Replying to: torino5 (Aug 22, 2008 11:56 pm) Are you sure it's not the secondary air injection pump (part of the smog equipment)? That pump will make the car sound loud for the length of its run time (about two minutes, under certain temperature conditions). Replies to this message: 600kgolfgt (Nov 10, 2008 6:06 pm)

It's not that car sound loud,Its just different kind of noise mixing with engine sound
