Here's why:
* Turbocharged: The 1.8T engine in the 2001 Passat is a turbocharged engine, known for its power and fuel efficiency.
* DOHC: All 1.8T engines from this era in VW vehicles are DOHC, meaning they have two camshafts per cylinder head, providing more precise valve control for better performance.
However, it's worth noting that the 2001 Passat also came with a naturally aspirated (non-turbocharged) 1.8 liter engine. So, to be absolutely sure, you should check the specific engine code on your car's paperwork or VIN.
