these part guys are good and i get good price too

if you have a export number plate that is usually valid for 3 days and then go to RTA get the car transferred to your name then i dont see problem.

nice name for a car

Just with quick google search it seems your Scirocco has fuel filter. Best way to find out is go under the car and somewhere near rear wheel (left or right) and between fuel tank, there will be small plastic part stick to chasis with nice clamp. That will be getting one fuel line (thin metal tube) from fuel tank, and other fuel line going towards the engine. Your doubt was right as in some cars fuel filter is sitting inside the fuel tank or inside the fuel pump, but that's not the case in your car. Give a call to parts shop with your chasis number and ask for fuel filter, if they have one then this doubt is 100% clear.

the exclamation mark is a warning sign and this means that you will have to get the engine checked.

the wiki guys say that volkswagen made their first Passat in 1973.

Add AC at the least if you havent got.....lol. Just kidding pal. You must be lucky to get vintage car here, so dont mess with it and keep it stock and running. Its a pride.

Man this new one getting me erected.......! so damn cool.

If its jumping while gear shift then it could be gearbox issue. If not only while D to N or P then it must be engine foundation. If you are saying it jerks three time and if jerk intensity lower at third time then its engine mounting confirmed. Get the engine mounting visual check by any mechanic and you will come to know. These diagnostic enoc eppco boys can do for free.

The latch may have broken get down and check it.

check the fuel line for blockage.

You should be moving in place where you want it to be lock and then hit your upper back toward the seat and it will lock the seat. Its VW way of safety locking mechanism in manual seat.

Sorry for late reply Here is the image from google showing ICM (Iginition Control Module) in Volkswagen Passat. Hope it helps. Main cause of ICM failure is the heat and super heat in this region. I propose that by seperating your ICM from its heatsink, cleaning the mating surfaces, and re-applying new thermal grease you can prolong the life of your ICM. In Dubai this step should be done once a year, at the begining of the summer as a lot of anecdotal evidence has led me to believe that these failures are more common during warmer weather.

Yes it dose

it might be corrosion inside the caliper piston not retracting or the brake hose is collapsed internally acting as a check valve.

Check the Motors. The way the power lock works is the vacuum under the rear seat is a array of small hoses which distribute suction to the doors and trunk lock. it can be either of the two.

Make sure the bolt is tight and then clean off all the oil and grease around it then put some sealant around it and it will stop leaking.
