What is the function of the oil cooler on a 2001 Volkswagen Passat and is it a major repair?

An oil cooler extends the life of an engine by specifically keeping the oil 'cooler' that what the regular cooling system can do (which is designed to cool the entire engine). If your car has some SEEPAGE around the cooler and/or lines that is not the end of the world; but if it LEAKS repair it. Since it is external to the engine I would not expect it to be a major repair.

Why do the tail lights of my 1999 Passat only function when my high beam head lights are on?
It is possible that the problem you are experiencing with your 1999 Volkswagen Passat is caused by a fault in the vehicle's headlight switch. The headlight switch controls the operation of the tail lights, as well as the head lights, and a malfunction in the switch can cause the tail lights to only function when the high beams are on. It is also possible that the issue could be caused by a problem with the wiring in the vehicle, such as a loose connection or a short circuit. I recommend having a mechanic diagnose and repair the problem, as it could be a safety issue if your tail lights are not functioning properly. The mechanic will be able to determine the cause of the problem and repair it for you.
2002 Volkswagen Passat Light comes on that says STOP oil pressure low?
Sounds like a Passat 1.8. If the light is coming on, welcome to the world of 1.8l sludge. One solution= Engine flush at dealer and only use synthetic from then on. VW knows about this problem and the dealers have the repair instructions. This answer comes from experience.

If one has a Volkswagen in need of repair, they should take it a repair shop that specializes in Volkswagen repair.
