I got the valve from PES Tuning (http://www.pes-tuning.com) which is the same as the TurboXS diverter valve, I believe. I had mine for about 100,000 miles, in...
There is NO dependable "OE" replacement!!!! They are ALL made out of plastic. You have to purchase an aftermarket unit from someone. Even the VW techs...
I recently found a mod friendly mech at a vw dealer, which I consider a miracle. What other reasonable (i.e., excluding $3,000 turbo kits!) mods in addition...
I was thinking of some brie, fruit and crackers. I don't' think that will be spicy enough, but some nice locks with a spicy sauce would be excellent. Let's...
Hello Val, I, for one, think this query is very legit. I am somebody that wants to do some mild to medium spicy mods too, and I'd like to know what other VW...

My turbo has been howling lately on my 2003 1.8 T GTI. It started about 5k miles ago. It now has 16k miles. The car is bone stock. Here's when it I've...
I have a '03 Passat wagon with the 1.8T. Has anyone had any problems getting 5W-40 oil as the owners manual recommends? Pep Boys, Autozone, NAPA, etc. don't...
its a problem with the engine... just use 10W60 racing synthetic during summer and 0W50 during wineters and you will not have this problem... ... From: "James...
Or even easier, use 5w30 Mobil1 year round. I ran this oil exclusively in my chipped 1.8T, and when my engine was opened up my at 95,000 miles we found...
this solely depends on how you run the car... the 10w60 is better for hard use during summer, and the 0w50 is better for hard starts during winter... 5w30 is...
Maybe if you're racing or driving at extended high boost, high rpms then 5w30 can break down. But for normal spirited driving it is perfectly fine. In my GTI...

Apparently the Passat has a smaller oil capacity - 4qts instead of 5 as in the other chassis. That 20% reduction in lubricant, along with a different sump that...

Obviously the car doesn't make sludge but dino oils can. 5w-30 has been in my 1.8T for 4 years and doing fine. The whole deal with switching to synthetic is ...
We use Mobil One 15W50 in the summer and 10W30 in the winter. The car has 43000 miles (2001 GTI Turbo) and there have been no problems. I use the same oil in...
Hi all, We are looking at getting a Passat GLS ( 1.8T ) with 4 motion. One of my needs is to tow a utility trailer with a motorcycle to track days, about 5-6...
none... its more than capable of handling this. However the clutch wear will be increased. Keep in mind that its highly recommend that you take a good lookover...
You can get lighter trailers, designed for just 2 motorcycles, and maybe storage up front. I don't have a 1.8T anymore, but I did tow with a 150hp 4 runner a 5...
