This Self-Study Programme summarises the

design features of the Passat 2001. It provides

you with information about the various engines

and gearboxes, the front and rear axle

configurations, the electronics and the

modifications to the convenience system. The

design and function of the various components

and modules will not be explained in depth in

this SSP.

Descriptions of modifications always refer to the

predecessor model. A number of the

technologies cited in this Self-Study Programme

have previously been described in other

Self-Study Programmes. To enable you to brush

up your knowledge of specific technologies, we

have enclosed an index at the back of this SSP. It

refers you to the relevant Self-Study Programmes

by keywords such as "TUMBLE INTAKE PORT".

(In the case of the "tumble intake port" you are

referred to SSP 195 - the SSP in which this

technical feature is described.)

The Self-Study Programme presents the

design and function of new developments.

The contents are not updated!

Please always refer to the relevant Service literature for current

Brief description of vehicle

The Passat 2001 is based on the highly successful

predecessor model. In revising the vehicle,

Volkswagen's designers retained the

characteristic basic shape of the saloon, with its

distinctive dome roof.

The front end of the Passat has been redesigned,

and particularly the bonnet, the wings and the

radiator grille. The bumpers now have full-length

rubbing strips.

Environmental Protection

The water management plan

The water management plan for Wolfsburg plant

Environmental protection is a matter of

fundamental importance. Each and everyone of

us should strive to protect the environment

wherever possible, day by day. You are required

to think pro-environmentally when you repair

and service vehicles. And we must do likewise in

vehicle manufacture.

To demonstrate our commitment to in-plant

environmental protection throughout all stages

of the vehicle production process through to

delivery of the finished product, we will be

dealing time and again with the topic of

environmental protection in the next Self-Study

Programmes.

Our customer have high expectations of our

products in several respects:

reliability, convenience, quality and, not least,

environmental compatibility. Firstly, the vehicle

itself should pollute the environment as little as

possible. This means raising fuel economy,

reducing pollutant emissions in exhaust gases

and ensuring a high degree of recyclability of

the individual components of a car at the end of

its life cycle. Secondly, our customers also expect

their vehicles to be made in a production facility

that meets stringent environmental protection

standards.

Volkswagen can look back on a long tradition of

protecting the environment. When it built its first -

and, to date, largest - plant in Wolfsburg,

Volkswagen even then thought about ways of

using the natural resource of water as

economically as possible for example.

Volkswagen currently circulates and reprocesses

more than 95 percent of process water within the

plant.

The amount of fresh potable water which

Volkswagen annually feeds into its circulation

system from external sources accounts for less

than five percent of total volume.
