Passat (B5) :: 2000 - How To Remove The Viscous Fan Assembly
Apr 2, 2011
I'm doing an install on my son's 2000 passat V6 30 valve.
I have the front rad pulled out and there is plenty of room to work. How do I get off the viscous fan assembly. I removed the fan's 3-4 allen bolts, I now need to get the assembly out. I also removed one of the long allen bolts in the actual assembly. I have the fan ribbed pulley secured with an old serp belt and grip wrench. I am trying to losen the large nut behind he fan assembly. I have attached a photo to point of reference. I may have a manual next week yhat may explain all this.

I am looking at purchasing a 2003 passat glx 4motion (V6) with 170,000 miles on it for a winter car. The car I'm looking at has been diagnosed with a "rear viscous coupling loose" and a repair estimate of $1700 to fix. The car will be priced accordingly but I'm curious if this is something that I can repair myself and save a few beans.
I am pretty handy with repairs so that's not too big of a problem. I've been searching the forums and can't seem to find anything on this problem. Is this in the rear differential or is it a part of the Torsen center diff?
The car also has a clogged heater core, I've located plenty of info on this site on how to repair this so that won't be to hard.

I can see where there is a 1/4 inch post that if turned will push the assembly out, but i can only get it to come out about 1 inch. Is there something else that has to be released ?

I have a 2016 Camry SE.
How do I pull out the map light assembly? The whole thing not just the bulb covers.
I tried pulling from the rear but it won't budge and created a crease in my headliner.
Is there a certain way to pull it down? I don't want to damage the headliner anymore since it's not even a week old yet.

How do you remove rear turn indicator assembly so bulb can be changed?. Specifically is there another screw besides the two on the end of the assembly. Once the two are removed the assembly is loose but something is still holding the assembly.

How do you remove and reinstall just the lens in the rear light assembly in 2002 SC430 ? I can see that it probably just snaps out using a screwdriver as a pry tool but want to be sure !

Tried to remove my rear interior light assembly up on the headliner but just couldn't figure it out. I can pry the clear lens off pretty easy but I want to remove the whole assembly from the headliner so I can put some sound deadner behind it because ever since I upgraded my sound system it rattles like crazy and is driving me nuts. I know guys have dropped the whole headliner to dynamat or sound proof it so someone's gotta know.

I have never heard my fan change noise pitch since I bought the V-10 Ex four years ago. Could it be working right? It's been through plenty of hot days and idling.

I noticed my '08 TSI wagon has been marking it's territory, couldn't figure out where the leak was coming from so I ran it into the dealer. Turns out the oil is leaking from the cam cover assembly & they said it's a seven hour job to fix it. And while they have it torn apart, anything else I should replace?

What could be the cause for a viscous fluid on the floor of the car on the driver's side. "White" smoke comes from the engine and it makes a noise. Car is a 1993 Volvo 850 stick shift.

I have a 2003 Toyota Camry LE that I recently took in for service (oil change). The car has about 95000 miles on it. After I drove it home and used it I now see a small pool of a light brown viscous liquid under the car. The liquid is not odorless. Its got what I can only describe as a 'chemically'smell. The drip is happening near the front end of the car. What could this be? Is this something that needs immediate fixing? Am I putting my family as risk if I don't attend to this right away?

I need to replace my passenger side tailight assembly due to moisture inside of it. Is it hard to take the assembly apart? If it is not hard than how do i do it. I already know that i have to go into the compartment in the back of my 02 1.8 wagon, but from there what do i need to do?

How to remove the center (upper, right above the radio) dash vent assembly on an '04 Passat (I assume many other years would be similar). I have a rattle/squeek in there that I'd like to address. Sliding a credit card in between the vent/dash provides some improvement, so I'm thinking if I could get the assembly out and shim and/or lube it I might be able to resolve the problem.

I am in need of replacing the passenger side Front Headlight assembly. I was wondering, how to assemble it outside of a repair shop. I was also looking to possibly get the part number so I can make sure I am purchasing the correct product for my 2012 VW Passat SE.

My wife called me on her way to work this morning and said her car(2.0T auto) was not running right and her engine light was on. We had it towed to the dealer and they said that the air cleaner assembly broke and was creating a false air run. The car has 33k miles and he said it was not covered under warrantee because it looks like somebody broke the part based on it being cracked in several areas. Well I haven't touched it and the last one to even open the hood on the car was them, when they had to replace the valve body 3k miles ago. How would that thing even break unless they did it? It was idling at a light, then started shaking and running poorly. I'm going back in tomorrow morning to talk to them about it, but I'm not sure what to say here...what do you think?
