SOURCE: on my passat ESP warning is coming on. i have

You should have the OBD codes checked. This will determine the exact fault. The ESP light will sometimes come on if there is a problem with the ABS or with the steering angle sensor.
Good luck with this

SOURCE: loud rattling noise coming from the engine

Are you losing power as well? if so it sounds like the camshaft is worn, this can be confirmed with a compression test

SOURCE: 2004 Passat TDI won't start

using the key,lock car/hold key over for 30 secs,then press/hold unlock button for 30 secs,that resets the alarm/immobiliser.OR does the pre heater coil light up orange then go out so that you can start car,or are you trying to start the car too soon or waiting too long after the light goes out.also try spare key,sometimes key looses code...as the pre heater is operated by opening the drivers door any delay...
have you tried wynns/redexe diesel treatment,could be dirty injectors.....
after trying all the above and you have no joy, come back to me, ta!

SOURCE: serpentine tensioner bolt has sheared can this

To remove a tensioner of serpentine routing belt isn.t nessecery to open vehicles front.Ofcourse this is difficult job but it is possible.About the alternator.s clutch-some issues in this year have clutch but it is very easy to check.Just look on an alternator puley.If there is round plastic cover that means this is clutch if not - regular one

Oil warning light on saying oil pressure pump STOP engine Oassat diesel 2.00litre First Reg Nov 2005 mileage 56,5000 approx.On standard servicing schedule not long life

STOP the engine immediately !!! There is an oil pump failure of 2.0 TDI engines !
Remove the oil pan and the oil pump & balancer shafts assembly.

Either the shaft driving the pump from the balance shaft rounds off or the balance shaft drive gears eat themselves.
The same issue ... low oil pressure warning light, noisy rattling engine, and the turbo has gone. Diagnosis: oil pump balancer shaft assembly ...

Many Passat show excess chain noise and wear anywhere from 50,000-100,000+ miles. Cars have broken the chains/tensioner as low as 65,000 miles. This is just a range of cars that have been reported, diagnosed, and repaired. The actual statistics on dealer repairs or failures is unknown and I've heard cars over 100,000 miles that, in my opinion as a non mechanic (most mechanics wouldn't recognize this sound and problem either), aren't noisy. From what has been reported, noticeable noise/chain-tensioner wear/greater risk of breaking is around 60,000-150,000 miles. Your case may vary. The most obvious symptom is a rattling loose noise from the oil pan. Unless you listen to a Passat TDI with a tight chain and one with a loose chain, it's hard to describe the difference other than rattling chain noise.
The reason the gear drive oil pump modification was started is because a few mechanics who specialize in TDI have seen many worn oil pump chains/sprockets/tensioners. There will always be a few defective parts that come off the assembly line and all mechanical components like chains wear out sooner or later, but in my opinion, the failure rate is abnormal considering the number of Passat TDI sold versus the number of reported oil pump failures. This does not necessarily mean that every or even most Passat TDI will have this problem, just that the reported failure rate is high enough to consider this part a design failure. Nobody, not even VW-Audi knows the average time between failure for these parts and the percentage of cars that will have this problem, but they changed this design and if you want to not have this specific failure, the only sure way is to swap to the geared module.

Misfiring passat 1.9 tdi when under load from 50 mph, foot to the floor. cured only by easing off throttle. Also occasion rattle when under load through 2nd and 3rd gear when accelerating under load. 2005...

Find the bad sparkplug or wire; or miswired plugs; or distributor foolishness (carbon buildup, dirt, cracked component in there at bottom....)  Maybe there's a leak or sediment in the F/I vacuum tee someplace that would cause funky load artifacts like that misfire, if the plugs all look honest.
