#70 of 72 Re: 04 1.8L Turbo Passat Idling Issues- Misfiring? [eureka30030] by altair4 Aug 31, 2009 (12:55 pm)
Replying to: eureka30030 (Aug 31, 2009 8:48 am) Well, when the engine light is blinking, you're not supposed to drive it all. 5w-30 is the wrong weight oil for this car - 5w-40 is called for which means full synthetic. Check your manual - it will tell you what oil the engine calls for. The story about not switching to synth during the car's life is an old-wive's tale.   The thing glowing is the turbo, if you mean on the passenger side of the engine. I think you are in deep trouble that I can't diagnose over the interwebs, but would suggest you get your car to someone familiar with VW's /Audi's ASAP.

the first time this vr6 died we thought fuel even though it was showing six gal.put five gal.more in after a few tries it starts back up.the next time its shows twelve gal.so we added five more gal.i dont think is out of gas do you.can the fuel pump come and go when it wants to.it has run fine for a week now and has not stopped once.this has happend seven times in the last eight weeks.also you have to turn the key very hard forward and get it in the right spot to even crank.has anyone else had either of these problems ?
