2004 Volkswagen Passat transmisssion issue

Showing 4 out of 4 Posts

Question From Greensleves on 2004 Volkswagen Passat transmisssion issue

I just had my left front axel and rear brakes replaced on my 2004 Volkswagen Passat. It is a front wheel drive turbo. They also had to replace my CV driveshaft RF. Next day, my transmission is not working and makes noises. I had to get it pushed to a parking space. My husband said it was like moving a ton of lead. Not the normal "in neutral" push. Did they screw up my transmission while replacing my axel and CV driveshaft along with the rear brakes? Or is it a separate issue?

Thanksfor a response in advance, Jeannie

Response From Discretesignals

Without being there to look at it, it is too difficult to give you an accurate answer. Could be an axle disengaged from the transmission because of improper installation or defective part.

Response From Greensleves Top Rated Answer

Hello, and thank you so much for your awesome response. I called the repair shop today and relayed that the problem more than likely was the axle not fitting into the transmission correctly or the wrong cv drive shaft. They towed my car to the repair shop and found that the CV drive shaft that they had ordered was indeed not the right size. Needless to say, they re-ordered the correct size to fit. They brought the car back to me and all is well You're the man!!! Thank you!!!

Response From Discretesignals

Glad to read you got your problem resolved. Thanks for the follow up

Closed as solved.

Response From Tom Greenleaf

If you love the thing and it's priced accordingly then I'd have a full non involved check of this car. I'm not afraid of miles but when you want the second 100K out of a car things are going to get replaced so factor that in is all I'm suggesting. All maintenance records for it should be known and accident free or known just something minor,

Response From Tom Greenleaf

110,000 thousand miles or kilometers? Either way that's a ton of distance for a 2009 model anything! This should be priced rock bottom and still have documentation of proper care or plain pass on that.

Any car will have a list of customer complaints and should take them all with a grain of salt.

What are you other choices of possible used cars?

That just means that you haven't fixed the problem that put it on in the first place and it's just resetting the code immediately.

05 VW Brake pads.

Showing 5 out of 11 Posts | Show 6 Hidden Posts

Question From jayceevee24 on 05 VW Brake pads.

2005 Volkswagen Passat All-wheel drive Wagon 2.8 L V-6 70,000 miles. Can I just replace the brake pads ($175 at local mechanic), or do I have to replace the rotors too, as Volkswagen suggests ($1,000 at VW)? Pads are thin.

Response From Hammer Time

It needs to be inspected to answer that question but it's pretty standard for VWs to replace rotors with pads. They are engineered with softer metal for better friction and braking but that causes just as much wear to the rotors as the pads. If they are dished out, no question it needs them.

The prices sound a but excessive though it's possible. I did a BMW today that was $1000.

Gotta love those European cars!

Response From steve01832

I'm sorry HT that you were subjected to such torture. I think you should get the rest of the week off with pay. I would rather put nitrous on a Kia then work on a beemer.

Steve

Response From Loren Champlain Sr

>>rather put nitrous on a Kia then work on a beemer. << Or deal with their owners.

Response From steve01832

Muffy, Muffy, the beemer is in the shop. I must take the Jaguar to go golfing.

Ah, you understand what I meant. LOL. Just wonder what percentage of these 'types' are leased vs. owned?

Response From Hammer Time

In my part of town, they are just spare cars that are left here all summer so they will have a car to drive when they come down here.

You gotta get used to it in my part of town. Remember, my shop is right on the beach in a resort community. Everything's a Lexus, a Beemer or a Mercedes and the Lexus never breaks............ I hate em.

Response From steve01832

Where I live it's Hondas and Kias baby. Let's soup 'em up, chop 'em down, and listen to the angry swarm of bees due to their tomato soup can size mufflers. LMAO

1998 passat won't start

Showing 2 out of 8 Posts | Show 6 Hidden Posts

Question From Keikei on 1998 passat won't start

I replaced the battery and starter in my 1998 Volkswagen passat. It is manual. I can push-start it and it runs great! As soon as I turn it off it is dead. There is a flickering/ticking of something but no turn over at all when I try to start it. My remote entry does not even work! Help! It has 112000 miles

Response From Tom Greenleaf

Was the original intent of the remote entry to also allow starter to crank engine? Have you checked or replaced it's battery?

Check at starter solenoid to see condition of the "trigger" wire for starter. If broken or all corroded that could explain a lot,

T

Response From Keikei

Hi Tom, I am not sure about the remote entry, I doubt it though. I did replace the battery and the starter. How do I check the solenoid? I am a girl with shitty home mechanics that are stumped with my car.

Response From Tom Greenleaf

Just FYI - the solenoid is really a remote connection to the starter like a an electromagnet to make a larger amp connection for a powerful starter via a smaller wire which I'll call a "trigger" wire. Hard to know if that has adequate current and good connection sometimes.

Typical is that wire enables engine to crank and in turn gives ignition current for spark all at once. If lousy it could/would be erratic.

It's a pill but you can solder in new eyelet end if there's troubles there. Just know "snug" on some wiring doesn't mean a good connection.

Eyesight of the connections is usually enough. It could be a fault with ignition switch but not thinking that right yet.

In my experience - starter solenoids are usually NOT the problem but could be. Check connections and go from there,

T

Response From Keikei

Hey T! How do they check this? And where are u? Can I come to you?:) I'm in Arizona. Can you tell me exactly, or close to, what I need to do? Gracious, I am glad for this site!

Response From Tom Greenleaf

I'm about 3,000 miles away! West of Boston, MA. Know folks in Phoenix that might be able to help if needed,

T

Response From Keikei

For sure! Please refer. Also, how is the solenoid checked? Will I benefit from taking it to an auto electric shop?

Response From Tom Greenleaf Top Rated Answer

Link to an A/C bulletin board is............

http://acsource.net/acforum/index.php?sid=7acf1fcd552e644d7d8eeeb77edc058a

ACProf and Cusser both live in Phoenix. Owner, Warren Willingham of the site lives there too but would be less available on the boards for suggestions locally.

Just post what you need and who they like locally and don't worry especially now in Winter that it's a dedicated A/C site. We/They are mechanics also as you have to be for A/C too.

More suggestions may come from right here and so far as said I'd be checking out connection of that "trigger" wire for any current/voltage when starter is requested. If some it may just be too weak. If none there's another fault to find.

Guess but probably a relatively easy fix,
