2002 Volkswagen Passat 1.8T. Please note that this car is not driveable. I bought the car in the same condition and was told that it needed a water pump. So I had a water pump installed along with a new timing belt kit and the car still ran the same way. The problem is that the car will overheat, sometimes quickly and sometimes not for 30 miles. The motor does not knock and there is not a bearing problem. Someone suggested that the turbo may be leaking so I also had the turbo replaced, still runs the same way. My guess is now that either the head gasket or the head itself is bad. Also the transmission sometimes shifts a little harder than it should, read that the cause for that that is fluid level is low. It does shift thru all the gears tho. The body of the car is very nice and also the interior is very clean, especially for a light color. I hate to give up on the car especially since I have a good bit invested, but right now I have alot of medical bills and Im not working so it will be awhile before I could get back to fixing it so Im willing to take a loss on it. I also want to mention that sometimes the brake light and abs light is on and the airbag light is on, never got around to trying to figure any of that out, was worried about the overheating issue first. There is a factory cd changer in it and it also has some kind of suspension kit on it, I dont know what kind it is, it is coil over and adjustable I know that. Perfect car for someone that knows how to fix Volkswagens, visually it is still very nice.

Volkswagen lays off 500 Chattanooga workers

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

The redesigned Volkswagen Passat has been a decent seller since its debut in 2011, but sales have apparently dropped off enough that the automaker is trimming some of the employees from its Chattanooga, TN assembly plant. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen will be cutting shifts and laying off 500 contracted workers in response to slowing sales.
Currently, the plant has three teams running 10-hour shifts Monday through Saturday, but starting May 13, this will be reduced down to two teams running 10-hour shifts Monday through Thursday. This will be done to reduce dealer inventory (the article says that VW dealers, on average, have a 97-day supply of Passats) and production capacity (currently running at an annual pace of 170,000 units, which is more than the 150,000 annual units the plant was planned to produce).
This, of course, isn't saying that the Passat has been a failure since VW added 200 full-time employees to the plant in February 2012 to keep up with increased demand. The AN article says that automakers frequently overstaff plants during the launch of a new product - or in this case, a new product and a new plant - but eventually reduce the workers as things run smoother and more efficiently.
