must have for passat owners February 16, 2008

The step by step instuctions in this book are easy enough for anyone to be able to do minor maintenance by themselves. It is absolutly necessary if you want to do a decent job of maintaining your car without taking it to the dealer every 5k miles. It's written with the average driver in mind and will teach you a lot about your car. I recommend it if you're interested in keeping your Passat in tip-top shape.
I bought this along with the Actron code scanner...they work great together. The book has a list of all the codes (including manufacturer specific codes) with definitions for all of them.

Manual has very useful information regarding maintenance and repair of VW Passat. Some of the pictures however, are not actual pictures but drawings of actual components. My Passat is a W8 and some of the proceedures are not very clear. Overall it was a good investment buying this manual considering what the VW dealer charges for repair.

As someone who is accustomed to do it yourself car repairs and domestic service manuals, I was completely impressed with the quality of this book.
No fuzzy black and white photos. Full of detailed exploded view drawings and very detailed and deliberate instruction. It leaves very little to the imagination, but that is the point.
In 6 weeks this book has saved me $600 in timing belt replacement labor and $200 in CV Joint boot replacement.
So much information, start marking the pages early or you may find yourself thumbing through the 2k pages looking for that exact diagram you know you saw.
This book is worth every penny.

I recently purchased a used 03 Passat and love it. I drove my younger cousins in the car and they managed to make the backseat ashtray, that is supposed to fold nicely into the center console, unable to catch and stay closed. We had originally ordered this manual to help offset the cost of having the oil changed by a mechanic, but we were able to read and know exactly how to fix the ashtray and save an $80 visit to the dealer.

Need to work on this car? Then get this book. Bring a mechanic with tools. Very well read.
