Where is the Passat coolant reservoir located?
1 Answers
The Passat coolant reservoir is located on the left side inside the engine compartment, marked by a small windshield washer fluid symbol. Specific steps: First, open the driver's door, then pull the hood release lever located on the left side near the driver's legs. Lift the hood and secure it with the support rod. Under the Passat's hood, you'll find a cap marked with a small fluid symbol - this covers the coolant reservoir. Adding coolant: The Passat's coolant reservoir typically holds antifreeze. To refill it yourself: Park the car on level ground, let the engine cool down, then open the hood to locate the reservoir. Check the antifreeze level against the markings on the side of the expansion tank. If the level is at the 'min' mark, add antifreeze immediately until it reaches the proper level. If adding coolant to a warm engine, fill it slightly above the marked line.
