Replacement of the starter motor for the Volkswagen Passat 1.6 TDI.

Model: Volkswagen Passat B6, 3C - Years 2005-2010
Part: Starter motor

Today we will discover the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the starter motor of the Volkswagen Passat 1.6 TDI. First, let's open the car's hood and start by removing the battery, disconnecting both terminals (positive and negative) and unscrewing the battery bracket screw; then we will remove the air filter box, as shown in the video. At this point, we will unscrew the upper mounting screws of the starter motor, lifting the vehicle to later unscrew the lower ones; we will disconnect the electrical wiring to remove it and replace it with the new one!
