Curt trailer hitch # C11234 is listed as a fit for the 2014 Passat TDI with the 2.0 liter motor. I have linked a video showing installation and a link to the instructions. It is possible that the extra tank on the diesel may make installation a little more difficult if it is in the way. Take a look at the instructions and video then compare them to the underside of your car to determine if there will be any issues. view full answer...
I called my contact at Firestone and they informed me that the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F4105 are not compatible with the TDI versions of the 2005 Volkswagen Passat due to the rear shocks mounting location.
For a similar rear suspension enhancement option that is compatible with the TDI version of your vehicle, I recommend using the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs for Coil Spring Suspension part # CSS-1125R. These SumoSprings are designed to increase ride comfort... view full answer...
The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount Item # HLY84FR doesn't have a compatible loading ramp.

This rack is also designed for 2 electric bikes, has a total weight capacity of 132lb , and is compatible with almost any vehicle. Keep in mind if it is being used on the back of an RV... view full answer...

Yes, there is a way to add a 7-way connector to your 2015 Volkswagen Passat. You will want the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller item # ETBC7. The kit includes a pre-wired 7- and 4-way trailer connector that mounts easily at the rear of your vehicle with an included bracket. This kit is designed for use on a vehicle with an existing 4-way flat trailer connector and plugs directly into it. You will then need to run a power line to your battery and the requested brake... view full answer...
The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver with Drawbar, item # 11076, is for vehicles with 4Motion only. All of the hitches we sell come with all of the mounting hardware necessary for installation. You will have to supply any tools needed for the installation.
For your 2004 VW Passat without 4Motion you will need a hitch that fits vehicles without the 4Motion option. The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # C11054, is the correct fit for your vehicle.

Trailer hitch # C12130 fits Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln vehicles but not the 2002 Volkswagen Passat. There are a few trailer hitch options for the 2002 VW Passat. I have included a link to them for you to view. You will need to use the drop down menu to select the model Passat you have:
Sedan, except 4Motion and W8 Engine
Wagon, except 4Motion and W8 Engine

When it comes to flat towing a vehicle the car owner's manual is the best resource for determining if it can be flat towed at all and what preparations steps, if any, are required to ready the car for this kind of transport. In general, cars with a manual transmission are often easier to equip for flat towing than cars with an automatic transmission.
I reviewed an online edition of the owner's manual for the 2002 Volkswagen Passat wagon but it did not confirm if the car can be flat towed.... view full answer...
Class I trailer hitches like # 24880 can only support 2 bikes even if the rack can hold more. The issue is not the weight of the bikes but how far the weight is from the receiver. A third or more bikes on a Class I hitch puts too much stress on the hitch and can result in loss of hitch and damage to the vehicle. It is like using a long bar to loosen a lug nut when changing a tire.
The Yakima RidgeBack, # Y02458, can fit a Class I trailer hitch but it would be limited to carrying 2 bikes... view full answer...
Yes, the Thule Passage 2 trunk mount bike rack # TH910XT will fit your 2007 Volkswagen Passat Wagon. I have included a link to a video review of the rack for you.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical mens bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # TH982XT. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wifes... view full answer...
I do have a way that you can carry 4 bikes on your 2000 Volkswagen Passat but you will not be able to carry the bikes using the Vertex rack.
I strongly advise not using a 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch adapter to use the Thule swinging bike rack # TH9027XT with your Volkswagen Passat. The issue is that using an adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent.
The hitches for your 2000 Passat have maximum tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds. By using the adapter that... view full answer...

The WeatherTech side window air deflectors # WT82566 are listed as a fit for all models of the 2014 Volkswagen Passat so that would include the Wolfsburg edition. The Wolfsburg edition includes a few added features above the base S model. All trims have the same body design and shape in terms of where the air deflectors install. view full answer...
Unfortunately, the trunk release feature uses a control box that would interfere with the Curt # C11234 and Draw-Tite # 24880 hitches being installed so there is a physical difference in the vehicle that prevents the hitches from fitting vehicles equipped with the hands-free trunk release feature.
This being said, because of the different way the hitch fits, the EcoHitch # 306-X7317 WILL fit, and in many cases will not interfere with the hands-free trunk release feature according to EcoHitch.... view full answer...
Actually the Curt Harness part # C59236 will fit your 4Motion 2007 Volkswagen Passat. At one point it wasn't listed as a fit but Curt did determine that it was a fit. view full answer...
The Vehicle Wiring Harness Kit # C59496 that you referenced is a universal kit so technically it will fit all vehicles.
However, since we have the Tekonsha T-One # 118646 at a similar price that is a custom fit for your 2012 Volkswagen Passat there is no need to use a universal item.
The universal option requires hardwiring everything while the T-One clips in behind your tail lights and then a 12V power lead is run to the battery. This is a much easier install.

According to our friends at Thule, their OutWay 2 Bike Rack that you referenced, part # TH45Jv would indeed fit the 2002 VW Passat, as long as the spoiler was factory installed.
The OutWay is unsurpassed in its ease of installation and removal. Instead of the 4-6 straps and buckles used by other trunk mounted racks, the OutWay uses only 2 retractable cables that allow the rack to be installed or removed in seconds.
In order to prevent the vehicle from being scratched, it is essential... view full answer...
Yes, I can confirm that the Thule Gateway Pro 3, # TH78VR, is a fit for the 2008 Volkswagen Passat wagon. I checked 4 different versions of the Thule fit guide and they all state that the rack will fit. I have included a link to the installation details for this rack for you.
If you will be carrying womens, childrens, or alternative frame bikes I recommend using the bike adapter bar # TH982XT for greater ground clearance and to carry the bikes more level. I have included a link to a video... view full answer...
All of the trailer hitches to fit your 2012 Volkswagen Passat SE are a Class I 1-1/4-inch hitch. The Thule Parkway bike rack is designed to fit in only Class III 2-inch hitches. So the Thule bike rack will not directly fit into the 1-1/4 inch hitch.
You could use a hitch adapter like the Brophy 1-1/4 Inch to 2 Inch Hitch Adapter, part # HTAD, but it does reduce the tongue weight capacity of your Class I hitch by 50 percent, which would make the new tongue weight capacity at 100 lbs. That... view full answer...
