Hi,
the video shows a step-by-step instruction how to change the alternator on the 35i with the 2E engine. Alternators are wearing parts, at some point between 100,000 km and 200,000 km they fail on every Passat. Do-it-yourselfers can save a lot of money by doing this repair themselves.

The video has a German soundtrack, but English subtitles are available on YouTube.
Enjoy it,
Jürgen
