Can you access the fuel pump on an 1988 Buick Century 4 door from the trunk or floor of back seat?

What can cause coming out through exhaust?
If you mean what can cause smoke coming through the exhaust it could be a number of things. The two worst possibilities are your valves are shot or your piston cylinder walls and rings are worn and you are getting oil blow by. A valve job will be around $1300 for a straight 4 cylinder and if you have a V6 or V8 with two heads you can double the cost. Bad cylinders will require an engine rebuild and will probably be cheaper to find a used good engine for around $800 and another $800-$1000 to put it in.

Do you have to use g-12 antifreeze in the vw jetta gls?
no they have a antifreeze made for all makes and modles and color
^ you sir do not know what your talking about. Yes on VW/Audi's you must use G11/G12 trust me dont use the green stuff for all cars. It destroys your cooling system trust me i know I did that to my GTI because I needed coolant fast. If you put the green stuff in hurry up and flush it out and replace with with the Pink or Red G12. check out this site for anymore vw question www.vwvortex.com

You must use only G12 for any Volkswagen vehicle made after 1997. VW specifies only fully organic or OAT (Organbic Acid Technology) coolant in these vehicles. If you add any other coolant to G12 it will turn it into a brown, sludgy goo. See www.wunderkar.ca/fluid.html for some info and pictures.
2.8 vr6 out of vw car fit eurovan?
Hi. the basic engine block and head are the same but everything else, such as engine mounts, exhaust manifold and inlet manifold are different. The VR6 Eurovan is quite rare in the UK so getting hold of the required parts for a car to van conversion could prove costly and difficult.

How do you purge air out of your cooling system after flushing on a 1998 Pontiac transport?
Is there a air bleed screw along the top hose? Alot of vehicles will have one. It usually has a place for the square shaped sockets. Undo this screw and fill until fluid comes out of this bleed hole. This pushes air out of the highest point of the system.
I had the same problem and it was the bulb in the upper brake light in the back window.
It is probably not the sensor that is failing though. The sensor is a diode so it eats up any left over voltage in the system, so when the bulb starts failing the excess voltage triggers the warning light. Sometimes this can occur before the bulb actually goes out. So if you see the light on plan on changing it.
I had a Saab before this and it would warn you like a week before it would go out, kind of annoying but nice though cause once I figured it out I could just swing by the parts store during that week so when it did go out I was ready.

How do you refill the cooling system with antifreeze On a 1999 Pontiac transport?
It depends what the reason conditions are for the refilling. In all cases be sure that the engine has cooled down completely, before working on the cooling system. If you are just topping it up because the coolant overflow tank level has dropped completely with nothing left in it. Then you might want to remove the rad cap, and fill up the rad to the bottom of the filler neck. Replace the rad cap and fill the overflow tank. ++++++++++++++++ But if the level rizes up into the overflow tank when the engine is warmed up, you simply add the proper coolant directly to the tank. +++++++++++++++++++ If the coolant system has been flushed and cleaned, then use something like this procedure. With the radiator cap removed and the engine cooled down (the cap is on the passenger side of the rad), after making sure that the engine has cooled. Pour the proper coolant into this opening, until it reaches the bottom of the filler neck. Wait to see if the coolant level drops (it will, if you are starting with an empty radiator, because it gets air locked). This will happen within a minute or two. Continue adding coolant until its level doesn't drop anymore. Run the engine with out the rad cap on for a very short time (a couple of minutes at the most ), then shut it off and top up the level again. Now it is time to put the rad cap back on, and only partially fill the plastic overflow tank ( a little more than half full ). Run the engine and let it get up to operating temperature. Shut off the engine and let it cool off considerably(half an hour or more), and notice that the coolant level in the overflow tank changes up, then down, with in the time between when you started to let the engine begin warming up to operating temperature, and then letting it cool down. After it has cooled down, add coolant only to the overflow tank, providing it hasn't gone down until it is completely empty. You could stand by and watch that the level in the tank so that it doesn't drain out completely. If it looks as though it might happen, just add more coolant before it does happen. If the coolant level rizes and falls in the tank with out going empty or becoming drastically overfull, your finished
Where are websites for new Eurovan full campers?
I don't believe that they are being manufactured any more for the US market. Call your VW dealer and double check this.
Anther Answer
The VW Transporter T4 (Eurovan in the US) - was, for a period of time, the most popular delivery van in Europe. These trucks are pretty bullet-proof. There are mechanics in the US, like Karmakanix in Berkeley, who can look at your Eurovan and tell you exactly what it needs tody and what it will need in the near-future. What makes Karmakanix spexial is that ther is an abundance of PhDs and factorey-trained mechanics there who, philosophically, do not ascribe to the dealership mentality of using minimal flowcharts to eliminate small problems by getting to the root of the problem and replacing only what really needs it.
As these vans are built as flexible platforms for big & small cargo-hauling, people transport, and recereational use, they will look at your van and assess what is important to replace now versus what can wait. In their own way, Eurovans are pretty sturdy. They cannot compare to a W123 Mercedes, but they're pretty tough.
Dealerships go through a flowchart that tells them to replace entire sub-systems rather than getting into what detail is making the subsystem fail. Finding a smilar place n your area will be a discovery process, but if you succeed, you will fnd that typically the things that fail on Eurovans are pretty small, and that they cn be fixed almost in perpetuity.
Find an independent mechanic known on VW lists, like ev-update on Yahoo groups, where you can have a dialogue with someone who has seen the problem before, and your repair costst will plummet, and results will improve many-fold.
There are several things poorly designed in these vans, but not all.

Video of How do you remove the rear brake pads on a 1996 Nissan Primera?
Not quite the same as the front pads as has been suggested.
Chock wheels, put into gear and take off handbrake.
Loosen wheelnuts on first wheel, jack up the car and secure with axle stands and make sure car is not going anywhere.
You have to remove the handbrake from the caliper. This involves removing the spring-clip from the handbrake mounting bolt and then (if necessary, unbolt the mounting bracket) and remove the cable from the mount and then free the cable from the linkage on the caliper.
Undo the lower guide bolt and swing up the caliper - it will hold itself up by its own weight, (Note that if you do remove both guide bolts for some reason as with the front brake, NEVER let it dangle on the hose as this could cause damage which may lead to hose/joint failure later with obvious results!)
Depending on the type fitted, the piston may simply be pushed back for most of the way as with a front piston (or) and must then be wound back with a wind back tool or pair of long nose pliers to reset the parking brake. (There are a couple of notches in the piston which you use as leverage to rotate the piston carefully until it is fully home, taking care not to damage seals.
Slide out the pads as normal, check discs and apply copper grease to the usual places (where backs of pads touch shims and calipers) taking great care not to get any grease on the friction surfaces or discs and slip in new pads.
Drop caliper back into place (on some versions there is a peg which must be aligned with the piston by rotating it) and replace guide bolt (ideally using a drop of thread locking compound) and tighten to the correct torque.
Replace handbrake assembly.
Replace wheel and repeat on other side.
When finished apply handbrake repeatedly and then footbrake repeatedly to reset the brakes.
Test brakes before relying on them.
It is a good idea to give them a quick check a week or so later to check nothing is dropping off because it was not tightened properly.
Hope this is useful as they are quite awkward if you are not used to them.
How do you replace a taillight on a VW EuroVan?
the bulbs are held by a round carrier inside that comes out when you twist it about 90 degrees ccw. The lenses are bolted in from behind. You should be able to reach back on either side of the car in the rearmost areas such as where the jack is held on the left and where the rear A/C is on the right side on late models at least.

How to remove VW Caravelle T4 headlight washer spray jet?
Pull the unit forward, the stalk will extend. Hold stalk with one hand and pull and rotate the unit clockwise at the same time.
Be gentle - the stalk is not very strong. Note that cleaning fluid will squirt out at pressure - protect your eyes.
Once the unit is removed and the stalk released the stalk will retract - this is OK - let it go. To reinstall just push unit back into place it will engagage the stalk.
The bad news is that these units often gets clogged and the valve inside gets stuck and this is not reliably repairable.
