About this Manual
Its purpose
The purpose of this manual is to help you get the best value from your vehicle. It can do so in several ways. It can help you decide what work must be done, even if you choose to have it done by a dealer service department or a repair shop; it provides information and procedures for routine maintenance and servicing; and it offers diagnostic and repair procedures to follow when trouble occurs. We hope you use the manual to tackle the work yourself. For many simpler jobs, doing it yourself may be quicker than arranging an appointment to get the vehicle into a shop and making the trips to leave it and pick it up. More importantly, a lot of money can be saved by avoiding the expense the shop must pass on to you to cover its labor and overhead costs. An added benefit is the sense of satisfaction and accomplishment that you feel after doing the job yourself.
Using the manual
The manual is divided into Chapters. Each Chapter is divided into numbered Sections, which are headed in bold type between horizontal lines. Each Section consists of consecutively numbered paragraphs. At the beginning of each numbered Section you will be referred to any illustrations which apply to the procedures in that Section. The reference numbers used in illustration captions pinpoint the pertinent Section and the Step within that Section. That is, illustration 3.2 means the illustration refers to Section 3 and Step (or paragraph) 2 within that Section.
Procedures, once described in the text, are not normally repeated. When it's necessary to refer to another Chapter, the reference will be given as Chapter and Section number. Cross references given without use of the word "Chapter" apply to Sections and/or paragraphs in the same Chapter. For example, "see Section 8" means in the same Chapter. References to the left or right side of the vehicle assume you are sitting in the driver's seat, facing forward.
Even though we have prepared this manual with extreme care, neither the publisher nor the author can accept responsibility for any errors in, or omissions from, the information given.
Introduction to the Volkswagen Passat and Audi A4
The models covered by this manual are offered in four-door sedan and five-door wagon body styles. The front suspension on all models is independent, featuring four transverse links (control arms) per side, coil-over shock absorber assemblies and a stabilizer bar. The rear suspension on front-wheel drive models uses a semi-independent torsion beam axle with integral trailing arms, with coil-over shock absorber assemblies on the Audi A4 and individual coil springs and shock absorbers on the VW Passat. The rear suspension on all-wheel drive models uses upper and lower control arms, track rods, coil-over shock absorber assemblies and a stabilizer bar.
Power comes from either a turbocharged 1.8L four-cylinder engine or a SOHC or DOHC V6 engine. All engines are fuel-injected. The engine on all models is mounted longitudinally and transfers power to the front wheels (front-wheel drive models) or to all of the wheels (all-wheel drive models) through either a five-speed manual transaxle or a four- or five-speed automatic transaxle, and driveaxles with constant velocity joints. The power-assisted steering is rack-and-pinion, mounted behind the engine.
All models have a power assisted brake system with disc brakes at the front and rear. An Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) is standard equipment. |
