For your 2003 Volkswagen Passat Wagon, the Curt Trailer Hitch # 11164 is a compatible trailer hitch receiver. It is recommended for this particular Curt product that you support any non-trailer loads such as bike racks, cargo carriers, etc., with stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support these loads will void your Curt warranty. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap # 18050. I have attached a video showing proper installation for this item.
Based on customer feedback, the Curt Trailer Hitch is fairly easy to install. For further assistance, I have provided a link to the instruction guide for proper installation on your 2003 Volkswagen Passat Wagon.
