    Re: 05 Passat Wagon TDI

    I only went for a little rip to make sure everything was ok. I noticed less roll and front to back motion right away. I have Bob mounting new tires on my rotor replicas too, so on Monday I should have everything set up nice. Also have some paint warranty in the works. Will be a new car when all is done .

    I'll be doing and injector clean right away too. Have a can of diesel purge ready to go. I made up the tubing and inline filter to run it directly to the engine so it's pretty easy.

      Got my new shoes from TireBob today. Thanks Kenny, Lorne, Bob. Always a great tire shop!

      I didn't go too crazy with the tire choice. I went with the General Gmax. I've had no issues with General in the past, and the price was good.

            Mine? Have had it for quite a while - price is probably irrelevant at this point.

              Well, going to keep this a while, so let's make it a manual!

              Parts are starting to come in for 5 speed conversion on the Passat... Most of it is coming from Frans at Dutch Auto Parts. Oil and CV boots from Natty.





              Only task I've done so far is to drain the tranny and throw in new oil.

                Hopefully you are using OEM C/V boots, they seem to have severely cut back on quality on the aftermarket kits, generally the OEM ones are not that much more either.

                Will be awesome!

                  Hmm - Good to know. I've gone through several since I've had this car.

                    Hah... And just blew another CV boot! Swapped on my summer wheels today and one winter is pretty oily on the inside of the wheel!

                    So I'll have an auto transmission up for sale after all this. It has 280,000km. It was serviced with new oil and filter and a flush at 120,000km or so and then serviced again with oil and filter around 240,000km. So in terms of an old used transmission, it has been cared for. The torque converter should not be used. Although I'm driving it now, it has thrown one code for a torque converter fault, and is causing the idle to be a little goofy. It runs fine but for all the work of pulling a transmission, I don't think I'd bother trying to keep running with this TC. I plan on posting a video before pulling it that shows the car ripping through all the gears. It actually shifts beautifully. Probably smoother than the 8 speed tip in my A4 Allroad. I've seen a lot of B5.5 Passat TDIs with blown transmissions over the past couple years, so this might be helpful to someone out there.

                    If someone wanted to buy, they could swing buy and see it in action before I pull it.

                          That's true! My second palate is on its way now too. Should have all parts by next weekend.

                              So I got the axles out yesterday. Also lowered the subframe, and pulled the starter and TCM and shifter. Got the pain in the ass torque converter bolts out too. Just need to get the oil cooler lines off and then the transmission should be ready to come out. I did mess up one I've the triple square CV bolts but cut it out and carried on.
