not sure for 2001... the 2004 Allen wrench size is 8mm.
17mm lug wrench.
you need a special caliper tool that turns the piston as it pushes it in, or if you are on a tight budget grab a wrench and a regular caliper compressor and turn the caliper clockwise as you tighten the tool (or ask someone for help, easier with 2 people) hope this helps.
I am looking at my 1991 Jetta, and I believe the bolt your talking about requires a Allen wrench. I prefer to use the style that attaches to a rachet. You can pick them up at most auto supply stores. It will need to be a metric set. Joey
Jack up the car and remove the front tires, support the car on jackstands. Use an 8mm hex (Allen) wrench to remove the 2 slider bolts that secure the brake caliper. They are behind the caliper and "face" the wheel well or center of the car. Un snap the brake line holder on the strut body. Lift the caliper off the mount and secure it to the car spring with a piece of wire. DO NOT let the caliper hang or you'll get to replace the rubber brake lines you damage. Use a 15mm box wrench to remove the caliper carrier. They are tight so be careful. Using an impact wrench remove the Philips head screw that secures the disk rotor to the hub. If the screw is not fitted then pull off the rotor. If the rotor is stuck use a small hammer, tap the peripheral edge of the rotor to loosen. Do not use heat on the rotor as you will damage the main bearing$$$$$ Replacement is reverse of the procedure. After all is done depress the brake pedal to reseat the pads before driving.
what does the wrench symbol mean on a 2006 Vw jetta? It's not in the manual.Type your answer here...
Be careful here. It is not an alen key or wrench as you put it. But is is a 19mm specialized key that can usually only be bought from a dealer or VW parts store.
The 2006 VW Jetta oil drain plug will be on the bottom of the oil pan. You can remove the drain plug with a 9/16 wrench.
Remove front wheel, remove caliper from hub, remove small counter sunk screws from rotor then knock off. rebuild in reverse. Hope this helps
