Having driven the Volkswagen Passat for so many years, I've frequently dealt with the fuse box during repairs. It's mainly located in the engine compartment and near the driver's side footwell. The engine compartment fuse box is near the engine, close to the battery or firewall; open the front hood and look for a black plastic cover, usually rectangular, which can be flipped open. The one in the cabin is under the dashboard near the driver's left foot—just crouch down to see a small cover, pry it open, and you'll find a row of fuses. It's important to always keep a spare fuse handy so you can replace it yourself if one blows. Don't forget to turn off the engine before working on it—safety first. The exact location might vary slightly depending on the model year, but most Passats are designed this way. Regularly check to avoid wiring aging.

How Does a Car Clutch Work?

The working principle of a car clutch is: The driving part and the driven part of the clutch transmit torque through the friction between contact surfaces, or use liquid as a transmission medium, or employ magnetic transmission, allowing temporary separation and gradual engagement between the two parts while permitting mutual rotation during the transmission process. The car clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch serves as the input shaft of the transmission. The functions of the clutch include ensuring smooth vehicle starting, facilitating gear shifting and stopping, preventing overload in the transmission system, reducing torsional vibration impact, and extending the service life of transmission gears.
