Hello guys,
I just registered to ask you about a situation I have.

Problem is I can only see as option the Scandinavian DRLs and the North Americas DRLs - which both run even when the switch is at 0.
I read that there should be the option in 09 Central Electric for "Daytime Running Light (DRL) only active with...

I’m curious how far this car can be taken if you
1) change oil frequently (5k/6-12 months)
2) fuel cam follower every 20k
3) timing belt on time
4) cam chain and CC tensioner once offset value goes past certain threshold or excessive rattle at startup
5) transmission fluid every 30-40k
6) valve walnut blast when needed
I got my 07 Passat 2.0T with 179k miles. Previous owner put new turbo. Bought cheap because balance shaft had seized and the chain from balance shaft, oil pump, and...

Hey everyone. I'm new to this so if I screw up or type something stupid correct me please. Anyway I have a 2010 passat with a 2.0 turbo thought it jumped time but turns out the intake camshaft stopped turning but the gear still turns. Anyone have this issue. The engine was running at 400 rpms without the intake cam turning it pulled air through the crankcase and sucked all the oil out of the pan. Any help would be massively appreciated thank you ..read more

Greetings, on my 07 Wagon the speed that is displayed in the odometer window while you are moving is being displayed in km/h. How do I switch this back to mph? It appears that everything in my convenience settings are set to miles. Thanks in advance for the help ..read more

I'm gonna bleed my breaks for the first time and I found the VW workshop manuals on another site. But I'm a little confused about the bleed order there.
I thought the idea was to start at the furthest point away from reservoir but they say to start at the front?
Does it not really matter or is this a Passat thing ..read more
