Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the entire rear differential assembly?
This is the differential carrier—the internal gear assembly. It is designed to be installed into your vehicle’s existing rear differential housing. It does not include the outer housing, axle flanges, or bolts.
Do I need to add gear oil during installation?
Yes. This unit is shipped dry. You must fill the final assembly with the correct specification and volume of gear oil per Volkswagen’s service manual for the 2015 Passat.
How do I verify this fits my specific Passat?
Confirm your vehicle’s model year, engine code, and manufacturing date. This differential is for the 2015 model year. For absolute certainty, cross-reference your VIN or the part number from your removed original unit.
