What did you do to your passat today?

**ZachA** · 10-19-2009 07:12 PM

washed it, maybe for the last time till spring

**efritsch** · 10-19-2009 08:14 PM

I got the exhaust rattle fixed and found out where exactly my exhaust is leaking from. It's not a pleasant place.

I also changed the oil.

**dano17** · 10-19-2009 10:05 PM

JB welded my oil pan...again, and replaced my drivers door windo reg. Now my window goes all the way up by itself with no help from me

**VDub2625** · 10-19-2009 11:26 PM

Drove it for the first time! Mmmm comfy

**ZachA** · 10-21-2009 08:24 PM

broke the plastic coolent sensor clip

**LilBlkCL** · 10-22-2009 07:54 AM

Tried fixing the lid of the center console which was broken when I bought the car. Used some CRAZY industrial glue, but no luck. Guess I'm heading to the wreckers tomorrow

What does yours do? is the lid supposed to stay open when you lift them, mine doesn't and I dont know anybody else with a b4.

**izzo** · 10-22-2009 01:55 PM

Are you talking about the lid the my center console armrest?
Mine doesn't stay up when lifted/opened too.
Was broken off of the hinges when I got it, used tiny screws and JB weld.
Still holding just fine years later

**VDub2625** · 10-22-2009 01:59 PM

Every B4 i've seen in the junkyard has some sort of combination of broken lid, cupholder, and/or ashtray.

Add leaks and squeaks to that, and you get what VW calls "standard features" for the car

**jedipartsguy** · 10-22-2009 04:03 PM

put the bottle caps back on gross!
Hopefully going to be picking up a set of 17inch RC's tomorrow. I will post pics after they're mounted.

Wow I'm lucky I got one in good shape. Granted it didn't have cupholders and I cut out the ashtray to install gauges but the armrest (if anyone here has ever used it as an actual armrest...) is solid.

**veector** · 10-22-2009 06:26 PM

Found out i busted a strut bearing with my bump stop riding suspension and found a screw in my front tire, no leaks so far! Also lubed up my sunroof track and cable for a slightly faster and quieter operation. Top it off with some lithium grease in the locks and i have a slightly productive hour of fixing

**vee_dubb_ya** · 10-22-2009 10:22 PM

it's not mine per se, but I do do the maintenance on my mom's german-market B4 wagon....installed the e-codes I bought for it 4 years ago...finally, tonight. Blindingly amazing!

**Slowlow** · 10-25-2009 06:02 PM

My B4 needed a headliner since I bought it..... well, I finally hooked it up a few days ago, pillars and all. Its Giraffe print Fur.....

**efritsch** · 10-26-2009 05:51 PM

I think I fixed the exhaust leak which in turn may have fixed my over fueling issue.

**passat2.0GT** · 10-26-2009 06:19 PM

I hate all of you with tan leather.

Heading to the wreckers tomorrow before work and seeing if I can score some misc bits.

**Slowlow** · 10-26-2009 09:28 PM

Haha, dont worry Izzo, you arent the only one....

For some reason I STILL dont know how to quote people right on here.

**sean161** · 10-26-2009 09:36 PM

**veector** · 10-26-2009 09:53 PM

topped up the oil and PS fluid

**dano17** · 10-26-2009 10:23 PM

I finally got to drive my car today after I replaced the fuel pump.

**dano17** · 10-30-2009 10:31 PM

Jeez, nobody is doing anything these days.

Today I put on my new white wheels, and panted the vr6 badge white as well.

**96jettaIII89** · 10-30-2009 10:56 PM

**oldskoolracer** · 10-31-2009 09:06 AM

**passatusa** · 10-31-2009 11:46 AM
