How do you change the oil on a 2006 VW Passat 2.0T?
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.

How do you open a broken glove box?
I dont know what you mean by broken but if the handle i broken off and there is just a space where the handle would go, you can definitely open that, mine is like that.
First you put your finger inside the space and you will be able to feel 2 pins or something, one will be facing right and one left, they have a gap between them. You press them both at the same time and it will open.
Hope that helps
If you change a 2002 Passat 18 Turbo to synthetic oil will this benefit or hurt the Turbo's life?
You MUST, MUST, MUST use synthetic in you 1.8T. The 1.8T is very prone to oil coking or sludging because exhaust turbos are exposed to very high temperatures (they glow under heavy load!). The oil is circulated through the turbo to lubricate it and cool it. Refined crude lubricants can not stand up to the high temp, break down, and then you are in for some very expensive repairs ($1,500-$8,000). Any lubricant put into a 1.8T has to meet volkswagen spec VW502.00 or VW will not pay for repairs if you have a sludge damage issue, and the only oils on the market in the U.S. that meet that spec are highly refined group III (group III are usually inaccurately called full synthetics) or higher full synthetics, such as group IV and V that are mostly only available in europe. Here is a message board with a lot of good info: http://www.passatworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=225417 Again, FULL SYNTHETIC ONLY! Not a blend, only full synthetic, no matter what they tell you at Jiffy-lube or the dealership. The best option is to actually buy your own oil at a retailer to make sure that it meets spec, and take it with you to the dealership, because then you know they are not shorting you and using the right fluid and they will only charge you labor. Additionally, synthetics are actually cheaper because they last longer and you can go longer between oil changes, usually at least twice as long, but for a VW the manual specifies intervals of 5,000 miles, so i would not exceed that in case you end up with sludge/coking damage. If you do not comply with the service recommendations you void the sludge warranty, which is 8 years from original purchase and unlimited miles. Also, you will get better overall fuel economy and longer engine life with synthetics because they reduce the friction on internal engine bearings.
AnswerSure won't hurt and may help. [WRONG!!!] AnswerOil does not have much of an effect on the turbo because the turbo just rams the air/gas mixture into the engine. [REALLY WRONG!!!!] AnswerThe turbo uses the engine oil a a lubricant, so it does have an effect. [Correct, but incomplete] AnswerBecause the turbine spins at extremely high speeds and is lubercated by the engine oil, it is very important to the wear and life of this very expensive part. Therefore, oil becomes an even more important issue on a turbocharged motor. They run at extremely high temperatures and good synthectic oils don't break down like regular engine oil at very high temperatures. That is the reason your owners manual calls for synthetic oils with certain specifications. Technically, it doesn't affect the running of the engine, that is if life of the engine is of no concern.As a one time owner of a Passat 1.8t wagon I bought used, sold a few months later at a loss of 2500 bucks and from my brother-in-law a 20 year plus VW tech, you MUST use a FULL synthetic oil. A few months after selling the car, I recieved a letter from VW offering to replace my engine. The sludge problem is real and VW has know about for years before owning up to their design flaw with this engine installed in the Passat. The 1.8T doesn't suffer from the sludge problem in other models as bad as it does in the Passat and Audi A6.
Ecm location on 1998 Chevy c2500?
the ECM is mounted on the drivers side fender well, it should have 2 or 3 large plugs going to it.
What specific toolssizes do you need and how to change the rear breaks and rotors on a 97 VW Passat?
I have a service bulletin which covers the brake callipers but not the rotor replacement. If the calliper info would be helpful just post your email address or a hotmail location and I will upload the bulletin, it's a pdf file. Regards. Calliper servicing (front and rear)info can be found at this Russian site http://volkswagen.msk.ru/ I still could not find the rotor torque figures but they may also be there. Enjoy!

What type of oil goes into a 2001 Volkswagen Passat?
By weather he or she means that the thicker oil holds up better under high temperature (which it does), increases oil pressure and reduces oil consumption in high mileage engines. But straight 30W and 40W oils are too thick for cold weather and may make an engine hard to start. They may also be too thick to provide adequate start-up lubrication to critical upper valvetrain components during cold weather. So switching to a straight 20W oil would be necessary for cold weather driving. Straight 10W oil can also improve cold starting, but is very thin and should only be used in sub-zero climates. A multiviscosity 10W-30 or 10W-40 will provide the same cold starting benefits of a 10W oil and the high temperature protection of a 30W or 40W oil. (copied from: http://autos.yahoo.com/maintain/repairqa/air_filters_oil/ques120_1.html)
5w-20 or 5w-30 depending on the weather environment
According to adtunes.com, Volkswagen licensed the entire latest album of the group Wilco "Sky Blue Sky."
I would advise going to a site where they sell the CD (like Amazon) and listening to samples from the album.
Why do the headlights seem so dim on a 2000 TC?
The most common cause for dim headlights is a bad ground connection. Headlights draw a relatively large amount of current. Any loose or corroded connection in the circuit will drop a large amount of voltage, which doesn't leave enough for the headlights to operate properly.
What does the comfort control module do in a 2000 VW passat?
As I know it is for electric windows, electric dooor locks and alarm. Might also control interior lights.
how do you remove the engine? Is it pulled from the top or do you unbolt the sub frame and slide it out from under the car?
With a volt meter check to see if you have power to that socket. Check at the wire not the socket. If you find you have power, either the socket is corroded or broken. Also check the ground connection at that socket.
Why will the engin of my 1990 Ford Aerostar not start after it has reached operating temp?
You didn't say if it stalled once the temperature got to operating temp. I believe the 1990 Aerostar has the old style coil, at least mind did. Sometimes when a coil goes it operates fine when cold, but quits when it gets hot. Wotth checking.

What does the check engine light look like on a Mazda 3?
Well i don't know but if you look in a car book you will find out
Understand that when you apply the brakes you're putting tremendous torque on the hub assembly. If the lower control arm bushings or the strut bushings are worn, you could certainly get the kind of noise you're describing. If the brakes weren't put in properly you could also get that noise, but it's not likely since brakes cannot usually be installed improperly.
