PD engine?... I don't think the 00 Passat has a dual mass flywheel...
or the turbo seals there would usually be smoke, oil and other stuff coming out the exhaustIf it was the turbo ...
Almost certainly the clutch, but with these diesels, clutch problems can lead to problems with the dual-mass flywheel, or it may even be the fly-wheel on its own that's causing the symptoms you describe. You'll need to find an independent VAG garage close to you and you'll only know the total cost once the engine / gear-box is out.
In the meantime, gentle use of the right foot is the order of the day, changing down for hills rather than using the torque diesels are renowned for.
Hi was just wondering is my clutch slipping, I was driving home last night and when I put the accelerator to the floor the rev counter raced up but the power stayed the same. When I took my foot off the accelerator and then pressed it again the power kicked in. It’s a 00 passat tdi, 160k. Also if it is the clutch what is the cost of replacement? Tk’s
It can be an absolute pig of a job, mainly time and access.well its the clutch alright and i got a price for new clutch, 700 euros!!!!!! is this correct as i think its way overpriced,the car is worth 3k max.

While he has it in bits, ask him to replace the clutch release bearing (if he hasn't factored that in already - he probably has if he's VW-trained or bought a VW kit) and to check the fly-wheel (which he will if he's any good).
If you trust him the price is OK - not great but OK. To save €70 / €80 you could be buying a bag of trouble. With the clutch done you could put another 90/100k miles on the car.
