Model: Volkswagen Passat B8, 3G, MK 8 - Years 2014-2023
Part: Handle

In this guide, we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the external handle of the front door of the Volkswagen Passat. First, we open the front door of the car and start pressing on the side hole of the door (next to the handle) to release the rectangular cover; then we subsequently remove the entire external handle of the door, as shown in the video. At this point, we replace and install the new external handle of the door, fixing it correctly; we reassemble the cover and verify its correct operation!
