What does it mean if you take the negative cable off the battery and the car dies?
It means the alternator cannot handle running the vehicle alone. This is not a smart thing to do. First you put undue stress on your alternator, heating it up more trying to keep up with your car electrical requirements, and second disconnecting your battery while a vehicle is running is not recommended anymore as it damages sensitive electronic components. Take your vehicle to be checked by a professional before you damage it!

Yes it can be replaced, but which one are you talking about? If you mean the starter solenoid (sometimes called a relay) it is located near the battery. The positive battery cable goes to it. Disconnect the negative cable first, then you can remove the wires/cables and bolts holding it down, noting their position before removal. Reinstall & reattach wires, then reconnect the negative cable & you're done.

How do you change the batteries for your Volkswagen Passat 2003?
I assume you mean the large battery used to start the car. Lift hood, remove the firewall neoprene seal on the top edge sealing the hood to the engine compartment, then carefull remove the clips on the plastic cover that is on top of the battery, it runs the full width of the engine compartment. Using a 13mm socket remove the hold down clamp on the left (passenger) side of the battery. remove the negative cable then the positive cable (negative first to prevent shorts) stow them out of the way. Note the plus side orientation. Using a battery lift strap remove the battery from it's battery tray. Installation is the reverse of this process.
