#40 of 44 Re: '00 Turbo [sandysue68] by zlingen Jul 07, 2009 (10:44 pm)
Replying to: sandysue68 (Jun 07, 2009 3:54 am) Have you received a response about this? My Passat does the same thing, but I've only had it for a month (used) and haven't taken it anywhere to get it fixed. I read elsewhere that, "It is precisely the Secondary Air Pump that is making the loud "noise". Its function is to make sure any unburned residual fuel (remaining after the engine is turned off) is properly atomized and burned upon startup. My wife's 2003 Passat has that same characteristic."   Have you looked into it further and is this really the case?
#41 of 44 2002 Vapor locking (mike 373) by mike373 Jul 08, 2009 (11:03 am)
My daughter has this turbo passat, yesterday she drove home from work (about 30 miles) shut the car off, then about 30 min later wanted to use it and it wouldn't start. Acts like it's vapor locked, it has happened before but mechanics can't find anything. Anyone had similar problem? What needs to be done? Is it vapor locked or is it something else? Thanks.
#42 of 44 Passat Fuel Mileage by tomj2 Jul 10, 2009 (12:12 pm)
Own a 2003, 1.8T, 60K miles. Gas mileage has declined about 25% in last year. Car runs perfect and even had VW look at it. Found nothing wrong. Anybody ever have same problem? Replies to this message: susan803 (Oct 13, 2009 10:20 am)
#43 of 44 09 passat by newvwowner1 Oct 02, 2009 (3:35 pm)
I have a new 09 passat sedan. It is 2 months old. The motor seems to be getting noisier by the day, especially when it is idling at a stop sign or the AC is on, or I am accelerating. Is this normal for a VW or a turbo motor? I am not familiar with this brand. Most new vehicle motors are very quiet when new.

Replying to: tomj2 (Jul 10, 2009 12:12 pm) Yes, I have a 2003 passat, 1.8T, 88K miles. My mileage has gone down about 20%, and runs a little rough over 50 mph. Had it check 3 times, they can't find anything wrong. Very frustrating.
