Very good video. I had a 2007 Passat Wagon with an Automatic Transmission and this video helped immensely. Note the Automatics have a transmission cooler in front of the Battery area in the engine bay. Accessing the "top" side of the Starter was much more difficult but still possible. I went through MANY combinations of 18 mm sockets and extensions until I got the right combination. I dropped the old starter DOWN versus pulling it UP as was done in the video. I also pushed the new starter UP from underneath the car - I did gently move the lower radiator hose to be able to pass the starter mote by it.

My car is a 2005 volkswagen passat sedan 1.8t, would the starter be the same location as this one?

great video, looking foward to change mine tomorrow, do you mind sharing the size of the socket used to open those two long starter motor bolts?

[@a2zautomasters862]

If I remember correctly it was 18mm. Thank you for watching. I do appreciate your comment

[@marcothuswaldner3400]

Would be nice to know the different sockets and torx bits I need

[@juantwo322]

U did not mention the size bolts or sockets needed 🤨.. What electric driver are U using & is ur necessary ?

[@jjsiegal1]

Awesome Vid my man~! *QUESTION* : Bout how long did this job take ?

[@a2zautomasters862]

About an hour

I’m doing a 2009 Jetta 2.0T DSG Wolfsburg - this looks nearly identical. Airbox on Jetta has one hex bolt though in addition to the rubber grommets holding it in. I removed the battery and tray just to make a bit more room to work. I’m curious if it’s possible to get at bracket and bolt from top as I don’t have a lift?

[@a2zautomasters862]

Yes it’s definitely accessible from the top. Use the proper size socket and extension compo and you should be able to remove it. Thank you for watching.

@@a2zautomasters862 I got the starter out and bench tested it - it’s dead. Ordered one online and will finish when it arrives. Great video - gave me confidence that it wasn’t going to be a complete nightmare job.

can you please tell me if the 2008 passat tdiesel have a similar location for the starter motor ,,,,that will save me on looking for it and guessing where is the starter motor

[@LeviBulger]

It should be pretty similar. What did you find out on yours?

[@bomblardon1]

I did my B7 2014 Passat 2.0tdi manual I took wheel off inner liner and it was rite there so 5 17mm for the wheel about 10 t25 or t20 for inner liner think it was 13mm for bracket the 2 20mm for the starter disconnect wires then same in reverse for new one not 100% on bolt sizes it was a week ago lol

والله نفسي بس مشغول جدا هنا.

[@YooTooobJeff]

Why does the video title say 2006 if it’s a 2009? Same generation, but still…

[@djstuski]

You need to change the title, its not a 2006.
