Volkswagen Passat 2.0T sedan - changing plugs

unless you go into the timing belt early it is usually 100,000 miles or 5 years is recommended.

Open door and you'll find a small slide lever in door jam so you can only open from outside.

Try lowering the bonnet a fraction before pulling on the catch.

Need more clarification when driving and park. Happen to vw a lot with no solution. Could be electrical ( Tcm + Wiring conector, ECM) ( fluid change fluid+filter add lucid tray oil) or mechanical. Rattle could be engine or evap thing located under or next to air filter. Alternator also. The engine you speak of is know for sludge build up problems by VW. They've even made recalls base on what I've heard. Check oil circulation and how to fix oil circulation problem. Drop the the oil pan and clean filter screen where it sucks in oil. Other things related need to be unclog..

On all vw model it located the @ the bottom line or radiator hose.

I would suggest you take back to the VW dealer - don't they give a guarantee for work they do?
