removing the mid muffler gave just what i needed for my GT.
Volkswagen Passat parts reviews
it was the Oil filter cartridge o ring that had become hard and did not compress to seal the filter any longer. Getting the new one, a mobile 1 filter, I could immediately tell the difference. the new one was pliable and I could tell it would seal nicely. it did...no more leak. The car also had developed a slight stutter at idle. very sensitive, these cars. the stutter is gone too.
So glad I found this post! I was getting the low oil pressure warning on my 2012 Passat. It would go away after the car warmed up. I changed the oil, dropped the oil pan and cleaned it and the pickup tube. They were already in really good shape. I changed the oil filter too of course. Anyway the light isn't coming on at all now.

The rebuild kit for the brake booster came in today so that went back together... all the parts: the kit with 3 o rings, pump cover, pump innards, and pump body.
12k+ miles later and the turbo is working great, with a single caveat. Every so often I will get some turbo surge under WOT high boost conditions.
The only thing I have done to it before the most recent work was to change out the rotors and pads.
Had the electric wires on in my German B5.5. It worked rather well, but the sparkle effect at night and in the bright sun was just awful. I liked the idea, but the implementation was not that good.
In the process of replacing the alternator..it was bad.
Happened to me last winter with a Bosch oil filter -- not even an el cheapo aftermarket filter, either. It looked someone had wrung it out like a dishrag.
