In case of a fault with the fuel pump in your Volkswagen Passat, first check the status of the corresponding fuse and, if damaged, replace it easily. As shown in this video, the fuse in question is located in the box inside the cabin, behind the left side of the dashboard accessible by opening the door first.

It is a 15A fuse, labelled F28, and is the first in the fifth row from the bottom. Remember to replace it with a spare of the same amperage, always work with the vehicle turned off, and use the included pliers.
