VW Cabrio

It's a pain in the neck, the sensor is under the engine mount by the starter and the mount has to be removed to access the sensor.

5w40 or you can also use 5w30

i have been told that it is located on the drivebelt end of the intake manifold on 3.0 and 3.8 liter motors. and on 3800 motors its on the the opposite end of the intake( drivers side rear of motor, mounted on rear of intake manifold.) im changeing mine tomm so I'll write back with info on how it goes

Are you just wanting to know how to open it so you drive with the top down? If so, you push the big button in the center on the top, then the handle will release and it unlocks the top from the car. You turn the handle to the driver side I believe (sorry not sitting in my car to remember), then push the handle back up to its place. Then you push or pull the button between the seats to open the top...until it shows on the display its done. To put it back on, do the same in reverse order. Just remember the handle only turns one way. The best way to do it is to use your right hand, grab it with your palm facing you (under hand) and turn towards driver.

I have a 1999 cabrio and the trunk release is in the centre console. If you unlock the little box there is a trunk release button in there. Hope this helps you out.

It is in the distributor

the fuse is in the dash behind the coin department.it's located on the driver's side. I removed this and my owner's manual; shows me the fuse panel layout with three Type 3 fuses around the main fuse block. Item 34 is suppose to cover the Power door locks and power windows, 30 AMPS but all I see is the main fuse block and there are no three type 3 fuses around it. there is a blue cover to some kind of relay. Why is my fuse panel not as the owner's manual shows and where is the Power Window fuse now?

On the 4-cylinder 2.0, the thermostat is located just below the water pump and above the power steering pump. To access it, you must remove the power steering pump and bracket. Leave the pump connected to the bracket. There is no need to separate them. Remove the power steering pump & bracket by first removing the belt from below. Then remove the bolt that holds the top portion of the power steering pump bracket onto the bracket that holds the water pump, A/C compressor, and alternator. It is a bit difficult to tell which bolt to remove. It is the 13mm bolt, not the 17mm. Then remove the two bolts that hold the power steering pump bracket onto the engine block. I would also remove the clamp that holds the power steering pump hoses located near the center of the car. You can leave the hoses connected and let the pump hang if you are careful. Cover the pump with a bag so that you don't get coolant on it. Remove the two bolts holding the thermostat housing in place. Make sure you have a large plastic container to catch the coolant. I wish new cars had drain plugs like the old cars. Coolant splatters everywhere. Pull the thermostat & O ring using pliers. Clean the surface and replace the thermostat and the O ring. You may have to loosen the nuts holding the power steering adjustment bracket to get the power steering pump back in place.

should be under pass. side wiper under hood

Yes it is possible to change over to standard transmission. A manufacturer use standard and auto on most engines, so you must match the bell housing and starter then get the complete Manuel set up. The biggest problem will be installing the clutch pedal. Usually the mounts will not be there so you will have to fabricate the setup, but you can use a slave cylinder to accommodate the clutch movement.

No, there is no glove box on a 1995 VW Cabrio. The space is occupied primarily by the passenger air bag.

You repair it by trading it in and never buying a VW again. Car is the worst one I have ever had. Most people have the same problems with same things one of what is factory only key, so if you need a extra, make sure you have the time and dime. Approx 150 for main key, valet key same price.

There are 3-4 drains on the under side of the frame on each side. These can become clogged from leaves and mud and other things. When they get clogged water cannot escape and can enter the cabin. Clear these drains and water will come out of the frame. I used a thin nail and a plastic zip tie.

just had this replaced and it is located directly right of your oil cap where your coolant runs thru. i just replaced mine and what a difference. its a 50 dollar part but it is important because your I A C will not work properly because its connected thru electrical wires. this part controlls air fuel mixture which is very important not only for idle but performance as well

Should be a list of the fuses on the inside of the fuse block cover or look in the owners manual. If you have neither of those, best bet is to go to auto parts store and buy a Haynes manual for your vehicle. That will tel you just about everything you need to know about your car.

what is the spark plug wire sequence to a 1990 vw cabrio. send picture if possible?

it sounds like you need a master cylinder from the dealer make sure your wheel-lock isn't putting pressure on the ignition

my daughter took hers to the dealer, sweet talked a diagnostic refused repair and was given a very detailed list of parts to fix the problem. air filter, mass air flow sensor(this turned the check lite off) air mtere air filter, breathe valve( if this is not replaced it can cause the mass flow sensor to go out again) ,grommet, fuel pump relay and clean the intake. buy your own parts, was easy enough for an 18 year girl to fix minus the 700.00 + in labor chrges. she was also told that if everything is not repaired she will have to start over cause once the sensor is fouled youmst relace it and all the other parts so it will not foul again. hope this helps

4.2 quarts or 4.0 liters

Mechanic that once worked at VW dealer told me it was hydraulic fluid, better know as power steering fluid. He recommended buying from the dealer to keep the same quality when adding to the reservoir.

There is a circuit breaker thaich could be bad.

To remove, twist counterclockwise, then pull. Watch out for melted plastic due to burns caused by either water or use of incorrect bulb. A bulb that looks correct isn't good enough. Look up the part number before installing a bulb. You can spend a few seconds saving hundreds of dollars this way.
