Transmission has to be removed for any work carried out on timing chain, but the tensioner has been the problem before for me and it can be changed easly. If tensioner is removed for inspection make sure that if it is ok that you empty oil from tensioner by inserting 0.8mm wire through drill hole then compress plunger. If there isn't a drill hole just insert as is.
yuh
i just had that fixed on my 97 jetta trek ... it's located in the distributor, just buy a new distributor it's about $400 dollars tho.. unless u get a used 1 .. once u replace that it willl turn off your check engine light!
If it's the same as the 96 1.5l twin cam. Put the engine on tdc for no1 cyl. Cam sprocket marks on mine are set level to the top of the head, each pointing to the outside of the motor ie at 180 degrees apart. This should give you valves shut on cyl 1- end of compression/firing, and no 4 cyl with inlet and exhaust barely open ie changing over from end of exhaust stroke to start of inlet stroke. (Also referred to as "rocking") If the belt has been broken it is probably worth making sure that the valves are not bent.

$0 It does a VR6 has no timing belt. Rick
This is the timing belt, I think. Takes a lot of expertise. Get the shop manual. If you screw it up, you can damage the engine.
The diesel has a belt and the petrol engine has a chain.
The 2002 Volkswagen Passat GLX is not recommended for towing. However, the maximum payload capacity of this vehicle is 1,074 pounds.
this is a expensice repair, labour is difficualt and part is expensice, somwhere around $600 is the low end.
I just had it done to mine this weekend...$2200...ouch!
Add oil!
I have a 04 passat glx and I use 89 because the car will throw an error code if you use 87. i don't have any issues with 89 and the car runs great on it......

Yes you can. They can handle a super charger as well.
The GLX is the fully loaded V6 model with 4motion. The GLS comes with a variety of add on options, but still not as equiped as the GLX. And the GL is just very basic... No leather, no power, no toys at all.
look on the door jam of your vehicle or on the door itself
