Where is the tensioner located

-
With the distributor cap removed, the rotor should be pointing
toward the No. 1 mark on the rim of the distributor housing. On 8 valve
engines, the notch on the crankshaft pulley should align with the dot
on the intermediate shaft sprocket.
-
Loosen the locknut on the tensioner pulley and turn the tensioner counterclockwise to relieve the tension on the timing belt.
-
Slide the timing belt from the sprockets.

Timing Belt Manual
WARNING
Timing belt maintenance is extremely important! The A4 and Passat
model utilize an interference-type, non-free-wheeling engine. If the
timing belt breaks, the valves in the cylinder head may strike the
pistons, causing potentially serious (also time-consuming and
expensive) engine damage. The recommended replacement interval for the
timing belt is at least every 6 years or 60,000-90,000 miles
(96,000-144,000 km), depending on vehicle usage and engine type.
NOTE
If removed and reinstalled, the timing belt must be installed in the same rotational direction as removed.

WARNING
Do NOT turn the engine or camshaft with the timing belt removed.
The pistons will contact the valves and cause internal engine damage.

-
Disconnect the negative battery cable and remove the accessory drive belts, crankshaft pulley and the timing belt cover(s).
-
Temporarily reinstall the crankshaft pulley bolt and turn the
crankshaft to TDC of No. 1 piston. The mark on the camshaft sprocket
should be aligned with the mark on the inner timing belt cover or the
edge of the cylinder head.

To install:
-
Check the alignment of the timing marks. On 16-valve engines, the
mark on the tooth should align with the mark on the rear belt cover.
-
Install the new timing belt and tension the belt so it can be
twisted 90° at the middle of it's longest section, between the camshaft
and intermediate sprockets.
-
Recheck the alignment of the timing marks and, if correct, turn
the engine 2 full revolutions to return to TDC of No. 1 piston. Recheck
belt tension and timing marks. Readjust as required. Torque the
tensioner nut to 33 ft. lbs. (45 Nm).
-
Install the belt cover and accessory drive belts.
-
If the belt is too tight, there will be a growling noise that rises and falls with engine speed.

Some days my passat will start up no problem, and
With what you say,clean the main power leads from the battery at both ends.Especially the earth lead.Where the leads connect,there may be a buildup of corrosion that is hard to see but it does affect starter voltage in a big way.Get them really clean at both ends and where they are connected too.Hope this is a help
Replace ingnition switch on a 1995 vw passat ?
You must also remove the wiper / turn signal switch cluster. Before you
can do this... Most of the 1995 Passats were fitted with a splined cone
fitted on the steering columb just under the steering wheel. However a
special pullers is needed to remove this cone. With this cone and the
trim around the switches removed its a simple enough to remove the
ignition switch.
All the best

How hard is it to replace an ignition switch on a
Hard, yes you have to remove the steering wheel. You'll have to remove the airbag to get the steering wheel off. If you ever do anything w/ an air bag, disconnect the battery for at least 10 minutes beforehand.
1995 volkswagon passat starts while in gear.
Since you have already tried the obvious look to make sure that the new switch is properly engaging when you move the pedal. Most of these switches have some adjustment in their placement. Otherwise search through the wire harness and tape up ANY cracks or breaks in the plastic coating. Also look at all the connectors for green corrosion. If you find or suspect corrosion replace the connector. VW''s are picky when it comes to corrosion and breaks in wire insulation. Hope this helps.
Headlights out on a 95 passat wagon
Sounds like the headlight switch itself... You can verify by removing the switch and checking continuity across the switch (with a meter or powered test light) in the on position... hope this helps...;-)
Cooling fan
Here are the cooling system diagnostic
steps...First does the cooling fan kick on (with engine hot)? If not,
check the fuse, if good then check the thermoswitch in the
radiator (it's about an inch and a half in diameter located on the
lower part of the radiator with two wires ) by disconnecting the
wires and touching them together (again, with engine hot...at least
190 degrees) if the fan comes on, you have a bad switch. If not
connect a 10 gauge jumper wire from the battery to the fan itself
(there are three terminals,,, one high, one low and ground). With
power direct from the battery (and a ground wire, if necessary) fan
should run... if not replace the fan assembly... if it does run then
you have a bad cooling fan relay (under the dash, I believe). Hope this helps... ;-)
Pass. door won't open from outside
no adjustments, very common pick up a new outside door handle and replace, might want to do both doors because if one broke the other isn't far behind.
Remote central locking
if your unlocking the doors with a key and the engine is starting it wont have a key fob,if your opening the doors with the key and the alarms going off and it wont start then it will have a key fob
The mpg display has a fault.
you have switched the trip computer to instantaneous fuel consumption rather than average.the switch on the end of the wiper stalk.press the switch until you get back to average consumption ,i think it shows a circle with a line through it from memory
