I just bought a 2007 Volkswagen Eos with about 70K on it. Recently I took it in for an oil change and the mechanic told me it was burning oil and needed a replacement of the crank case ventilation breather control valve. now he is saying that it is a deeper problem than that?

SOURCE: My daughter's 2007 Volkswagen EOS service manual

I'm not sure why they recommend every 2 years, I strongly recommend replacement at every brake job though, which may end up being every 2 years. It's one of those neglected things that most people don't think about. Years ago I had problems w/ front calipers failing, and it turned out it was due to contaminated brake fluid (it was never changed, and the car was @ around 100k miles. So, yes , have it replaced, but only when your daughter needs new brakes.

SOURCE: I have a VW passat

Hello There

It's the water pump. One of the most common problems with the VW/Audi's. It was never the head.

Hope this helps. Please don't forget to rate me.

Thanks

SOURCE: i have changed the oil pump and put new timming

The timing chain? You mean the one inside the head that drives the intake cam from the exhaust cam? Or do you mean the timing BELT and tensioner, that time the cams relative to the crank?

P0011 means the timing is over-advanced (if you were doing timing belt/chain work, it's probably not on correctly and one of the cams is advanced relative to the other one, or the cams are advanced relative to the crank). If that's the case, the solution means tearing it back apart and timing it again.

SOURCE: Where is the oil filter and drain plug to change

I hope that by now you've already solved this, but the folks at Jiffy Lube tell me that the reason they have to charge me extra to do an oil change on an Eos is that there's a metal plate on the bottom of the car with a whole bunch of bolts they have to take off in order to access the drain plug.

SOURCE: What is the oil change interval for 2007

Use synthetic quality engine oil and factory filter and change oil every 12.000 miles.

A 5W30 will work well.

I would advise getting a second opinion A mechanic told me my 92 Le sabre 's tranny was shot and when I took it to another mechanic he found my spark plug wires were shorting out and causing the car to down shift when you went up a slight incline and it would jump in and out of different gears. I replaced the plugs and wires myself and it rau like new.

15000kms is a lot of mileage and i would expect it to burn some oil in this period ,i would suggest that oil is changed every 6000kms with a oil filter every third oil change ,use the cheapest oil you can buy from supermarket for a petrol/turbo diesel engine and you will never have problems with the internal workings of the engine caused by clagging up of black hard carbon

Transmission slams hard when down shifting. rattles car. 2007 vw passat. 2.0 turbo automatic

Need more clarification when driving and park. Happen to vw a lot with no solution. Could be electrical ( Tcm + Wiring conector, ECM) ( fluid change fluid+filter add lucid tray oil) or mechanical. Rattle could be engine or evap thing located under or next to air filter. Alternator also. The engine you speak of is know for sludge build up problems by VW. They've even made recalls base on what I've heard. Check oil circulation and how to fix oil circulation problem. Drop the the oil pan and clean filter screen where it sucks in oil. Other things related need to be unclog..

I'm told that my 2007 EOS needs a very expensive change of transmission fluid (I have the tiptronic transmission) for "routine maintenance" at 45,000 miles. What is the liklihood that I will have problems...

VW fill the gearboxes "for life" which means it must be changed at "regular intervals as specified in the dervice manual"you could leave it as long as you want,but could cause problems later.(especially if the car is driven HARD.)the (VW)oil for the tiptronic gearbox IS expensive.
