Random sudden thud from engine then all good, very slow to pull away after stopping

I think you will need to be a bit clearer with your description of the problem. Are you saying ... It runs bad until you hear this thud then it runs good. But it is still slow taking off from a stop? Or ... when you take off from a stop it is very slow until you hear this thud then it takes off as normal. Are you certain this thud is coming from the engine. Does it sound like it is coming from any particular location under the hood? For someone to be able to help you on an online site like this you need to be very detailed in explaining the problem.

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..

How do you turn off the immobilizer on a Volkswagon Passat and remove the wrong key that was used?

Just happened to me in a 2006 VW Passat 2.0T - Automatic. You simply need to depress the brake and then press the button on the shift lever 3 times. You will then hear the key being released and you can pull it out.
