I think access may be by removing the glove compartment - it was on the earlier Passats, but you really need a repair manual like Haynes or Bentley to guide you through the steps. It's likely to be quite a task.
Have you had a diagnostic check done - or checked the fuses? These might save you a lot of time and money.

If you know which fuse feeds the blower you might just, with a little ingenuity, be able to measure the current being drawn by it. I don't know what the current should be, but look at the fuse rating and divide it by 2 or 3 as a rough guide. If the motor is drawing current but only turning very slowly it could be the bearings have nearly seized up. They may be fixable. There is just a wee chance that you might learn something by removing the pollen filter and peering in there, or sending in a little tv camera on a stiff wire. Anything is preferable to taking the front fascia / dashboard apart. I know this thing! The object of the exercise it to be able to touch the blower rotor to see if it turns easily.
If you go down this route and find out anything interesting, please "ask" me. Cheers, D.
Good luck and thanks for the rating.

Hi JF.
I have a similar fault.
I have been told that it may well be the brushes in the motor. If they have worn down, then you get intermittant faults.
There is a way to get to the blower motor, by taking out the glove box. The motor casing can be seen. I have a description by someone who has completed it in 35 mins-ish - he swapped his brushes around by 180 degrees, which got the motor working, but new brushes would be a better fix in my opinion ( if u can find where to get them )
Anyway, You dont need to take the airibag out, but maybe loosen the bracket slighlty.
If you want the full description, its on AVForums.
Have fun
