How to Replace the Thermostat in a Volkswagen Passat?

Model: Volkswagen Passat B7 - Years 2010-2014
Part: Thermostat

To replace the thermostat in a Volkswagen Passat, open the bonnet to gain access to the components in the engine bay: on the right side, you will locate the coolant hose, which must be disconnected to access the underlying thermostat. This can now be extracted from its housing, allowing you to replace it with a new part; after replacement, reconnect the previously removed hose, ensuring everything functions properly.
