      Timing belt isn't that old. Lost track of time a little, but I think I replaced it two years ago. Popped cover off and gave it a wiggle to check for play. Seems toit.

        Try putting it in different gears and holding it the way you would normally feel it. Changing the path of power through the transmission to see if you notice a difference may point you towards it being an engine or transmission issue.

          Yeah my money is on the transmission. Just convince vw that they need to replace it with a 6 speed

            The forward gears, I would say, have slightly less pulsing then reverse. I noticed the issue first while stopped in reverse. That said, it's not a huge difference.

              Would be a big job.. and I'd probably have to buy another car while sorting it out... but sure would be cool

                Re: Passat engine pulsing

                Are you using a K&N filter by any chance?

                I can't remember but is it MT or AT? If it's a 01M you may need to change the solenoids.

                You could perhaps have a bad fuse?

                Maybe a clogged fuel filter?

                Or perhaps a bad N18 Valve?

                  You could perhaps have a bad fuse? Dont know, but something I can look in to

                  Maybe a clogged fuel filter? No, its pretty much new, and I checked that the lift pump was pushing fuel through it at a reasonable rate.

                  Or perhaps a bad N18 Valve? I have another that I took apart and cleaned. Would be good enough to swap for a test.

                    My money is on the transmission as well. The fact you can tell a difference between forward and reverse gears doesn’t make sense for an engine related problem. Double check your engine/transmission mounts before going any further, as well. Worn mounts can translate into feeling more driveline vibrations inside the cabin.

                      Well, I'll continue to check out anything else I've missed. If I don't get anywhere, I'll send it to Tunedub and see if they can give me a straight answer. Might also do a little cost comparison between an AT replace and an MT import and swap, just so I know what I'm up against if it does pack up.

                            Remanufactured trans from VW is about $4k for just the trans. 5 speed manual half the price, and a 6 speed about $3k for parts. Labour will be 10-15 hours for the manual, probably 8 hours for the slush box.

                              10-15hrs of your time is probably 15-30hrs of mine. Haha. But still, it would be a cool project if I could make time for it.

                                Ben can probably replace the slushbox in 3 hours with his eyes closed. He's done it several times the past year of two lol.
