It's common for cars to have trouble starting in cold weather, especially if they are older models. This could be due to a weak battery, dirty fuel filter, or a failing starter. I suggest getting your Passat checked by a mechanic to determine the exact cause.

I experienced the same issue with my Passat last winter. It turned out to be a faulty spark plug that was causing the issue. I replaced it and haven't had any problems since. Make sure to also check your spark plug wires for any wear and tear.

I would recommend using a block heater during the colder months. It will help keep your engine warm and make starting your Passat easier in the morning. You can also try using a fuel stabilizer to prevent your fuel lines from freezing.
