This is such an old thread but if you or come one else has stumbled back upon this thread: When you pull the fuse panel cover off of the drivers side and you see the fuse panel, if you look directly above that panel mount you will see a small-ish hole that goes to the internals of the dash. When you get a flashlight and look in there you will see a relay panel and the closest one to you will be the 384 relay. Most are numbered on a VW/ German Engineered autos but if not that is where it'll be.

find your fuse panel, take the cover off and look at the inside of it. it gives you the fuse location, size and what its for.

What year, make and model is your Passat? All VW transmissions are sealed and you need to lift the vehicle up in order to access the plugs which give you access to the drain and fill ports. In addition, when filling the transmission, you need to have a scan tool to monitor the temperature of the transmission fluid.
