VW Passat B6 Engine Undertray Removal (2005-2010) for Access to Oil Sump drain plug

To change the oil on a VW Passat B6 (2005 - 2010) you need to be able to remove the engine undertray and know the location of the retaining screws that hold the plastic tray in place.

You'll need Torx T20 and T45 screw bits to be able to remove the retaining screws that hold the tray to the car. There are 7 T20 torx screws at the front and side of the tray and 3 T45 screws at the rear. Access is quite hard with the car on the ground so it is much easier if you can jack one side of the car and support it with an axle stand.
