Best Answer

In the engine compartment on the drivers side towards the back of the car there is an overflow reservoir. The reservoir is a sphere, off-white in color and has a 3" diameter black cap that screws on. The cap made to loosen by hand, but usually takes a lot of strength and grunting to remove.

WARNING! Do not remove the cap if the engine is warm, hot coolant may spray out and cause severe burns!

There are coolant level marks printed on the side of the reservoir. Because of the age of the plastic reservoir, it is no longer transparent. This means the coolant level cannot be checked without removing the cap an looking inside.

Where can you get a trunk or valet key for a 2002 Volkswagen Cabrio?

The key for the Volkswagen Cabrio from the years 2000 through 2004 are still 'MFG RESTRICTED' and are a 'DEALER RESTRICTED KEY'. Unfortunately you will have to go to the dealer for any additional keys. There is not a separate 'VALET' key. Some models have what is called a 'SERVICE KEY' which will operate the locks, but will not start the vehicle. The Cabrio is not one of these.
