i also own a 96 passat GLX VR6 and it is alot of work to change the alternator in a vr6 you pretty much have to take the front of the car off you need to remove the headlights to get to the raidator then you have to remove the radator to get to the alternator from there its a pretty simple process you need to remove the belt from the alternator then remove the bolts that hold it on and put the new one on and use a screwdriver to replace the belt onto your new alternator then you have to put the whole front of the car back on hope that helps
$0 It does a VR6 has no timing belt. Rick
Yes you can. They can handle a super charger as well.
look on the door jam of your vehicle or on the door itself
It is located on the front right side of the engine slightly underneath it
yes. vr6 (glx) jettas have a hydraulic clutch.
The oil dipstick is located in the engine compartment on the front of the engine. The oil dipstick handle is yellow.
Turn the headlight switch clockwise, then pull out the switch. An owner's manual is a good thing to read.

it is number 2
the top speed on my vr6 is 177mph ive personally done it.
It is OBD2 in models after 1995.5
