Until four weeks ago, i would have rated my passat as one of the best,then during a mot, i was advised that the front tyres were going to need replacing. I replaced them two weeks ago fitting bridgestone 235 /45 / 17 to replace old michelins. As soon as they were fitted i noticed severe shuddering from the back end, with very uneven running back tyres goodyear 235 /45 /17, which seemed reasonably healthy. After having front tyres balanced for the second time, the problem refused to go away !! yesterday i consulted premier tyres, who said " simple you need new rear tyres !!! they were duly fitted, all the wheels rebalanced, and,guess what, problem is every bit as bad DOES IT SOUND LIKE SAWTOOTH ? if so what can i have done ??

And when I de-ccelerate and come yo a stop it idles hard but shows that it's idling around 8k then drops and curs the engine off.

I recharged the AC but I don't think that will affect you much. I think I may have a clog somewhere. Help!!

I've been dealing with this for a year and I can't figure anything out

Hello everyone! I had a problem with the clutch: it stuck to the floor. I went to the mechanic and changed the clutch pump, the problem appeared again, only the clutch stuck to the floor only on the fourth or fifth start. I then changed the gearbox piston. The same thing happens: the pedal locks only like now when the engine is warm. I try to start it after driving the car for a while and it stops and it just tries to start and doesn't do so shaking a little bit hard. I try to start it several times and the same thing happens, the fourth or fifth time it starts. On the go, it's ok, as if it ha… Read complete
