Have an issue with my tranny - Passat B6 2008 FSI. Tranny shifts out of park, doesn't engage and gets stuck at neutral. But if shift cable is drawn at engine side, transmission engages and drives fine. What should I do?
Find a competent Transmission pro to help you fix this problem. You cant do this yourself.

Shortage usually could be either due to;
1. leakage
2. Oil burnt in combustion chamber

However by shortage, can u explain au much the oil is short?
Also provide most recent vehicle service data including the oil you used. Thanks

I have issues with my Passat B6 2.0 FSI. It starts and idles but stalls. Then experience hard starting. After it starts, it idles and stalls either on brake depress or while still idling. I want to clean throttle body and injectors and further suggestions are welcomed. Yet to scan.
Kindly scan first before anything. Stop chasing ghosts.
There is a possibility your vehicle stalls due to vacuum leak especially if it stalls when you depress the brake pedal. To confirm disconnect the vacuum hose connected to the brake booster and then block it. Then confirm if the engine stil stalls.

My Camry 99 model, the break binds just on one leg, and I have fixed it more than four times the more I fix it the more it gets worst, then the sound of the leg also changes, now as I drive it's wobbling. And if I drive on high way and apply the break the while car will be vibrating.

Common problem on that car. Most likely charcoal canister needs to be replaced. I won't go into other possibilities because that's most likely it.

What symptoms are you experiencing on this vehicle?
Any engine performance problems?


Before you go about buying throttle Position Sensor/MAP sensor, ensure you check the wiring circuit to this sensors and also the PCM.

Also check your EVAP system. It might be compromised as this might be the reason why the computer is reporting a MAP/TPS sensor fault as it is not sure what exactly the problem is.

So pls dont throw parts at the problem. Diagnose it...

Kindly elaborate on this.
During thr fix did you change the brake caliper or just the brake pads?
You might need to do an overhaul on that side of your suspension system.
Kindly consider changing the following parts if found faulty
1. complete hub,
2. brake caliper,
3. Brake pads
4. Stabilizer linkages
5. Bushings etc...


However my money is on the hub and caliper...

THANKS. BUT TO DIAGNOSE BETTER, I THINK I HAVE TO PULL OUT THE CANISTER.

Your decision. However take note the ECM complained about the circuit. It definitely saw something it didn't like and its possible the code was set during a previous job. As I stated earlier. It would be wise to inspect/diagnose the whole EVAP system rather than just "pull out the canister". You should also consider erasing the codes, do a test drive and den rescan system to see what comes back.

Shouldnt be a big problem.
There is a sensor attached to the intake manifold runner, that reports the position of the intake runner to the computer.
3 possible faults
1. Faulty electricals
2. Stuck runner
3. Faulty sensor
4. ECU fault (most unlikely)

Check the following parts to confirm their state

Check for vacuum leak but engine didn't stall. After the engine is warm, it stalls. I get a low alarm and a click sound from passenger side of the engine after it stalls.

Ok... Sorry at this point i can only advice you find a technician to scan and diagnose the problem especially when the engine stalls.
Carrying out a full system scan and getting errors will sure help us be able to advice you better..

Restricted fuel/air supply could cause this among many other things. However consider the following;
1. Scan the engine
2. Service injectors
3. Clean throttle body too.
4. Test fuel pump pressure
5. Clean MAF sensor...
