my boot would not close but i would say it is the same problem.It is probally the plunger [motor] that is not working and needs to be replaced. you will need to open down the back seats and climb in to the boot . there is a screw in each of the grab handles and remove them and the warning triangle . once they are removed pull down or off the cover to access the latch to open from inside .you should be able to figure out how to open it .once open leave the cover off until the plunger is replaced .it is the white box on the right ......replacing the plunger means taking out the lock to access the 2 screws at the back of the plunger.if in doubt give the job to a mechanic.
I checked fuses and replaced blown fuses and now it won't start.
behind the oil filter
I am looking for the same answer. I found Castrol Synthetic Oil meets the Volkswagen Passat requirements per the Passat manual. I found it at an Advance Auto Parts store. I havn't checked the drain plug location or type, or the filter location.
you realy need a VW agent as the level is checked using a diagnostic tool.
There are pages and pages of things that can cause a check engine light. You need to have it checked with a scantool. Then the code can be diagnosed and repaired.
It comes on when the engine computer detects a malfunction and sets a code. You need to have the system checked for codes.
Trouble code P1545 means: Throttle Position Control Malfunction
There can be several issues causing ignition issues for the 2002 VW Passat. The engine should be checked using a diagnostic tool to see for any malfunctioning sensors or vacuum leaks.
Maybe this will help a little.....I know its not the same year.... On my friends 2002 V W Passat, its located at the end of the head. The round cap/ electrical hub, on the camshaft. ^^
