Asked by Chrissy May 29, 2018 at 04:55 PM about the 2006 Volkswagen Passat 2.0T

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The car just cut out a few weeks back and wouldnt
start at all, i was told the cambelt and water pump
had gone so i have just changed the belt and
pump. Just started it up but now it turns over but
wont idle!!! Gets to around 1000revs and the
automatically cuts out! I havent put the alternator
