Why does my citi golf start up but does not rev?
check the timing. if it is running to rich, every time you give it gas you are going to flood the engine. if that is not he problem check the mass airflow sensor. it should be right after the intake filter box and before the intake manifold. if the sensor is stuck closed it will tell the computer to add more gas making it run rich and you will have the same problem. if that is not it check the O2 sensor. it should be right after the catylitic converter on your exhaust pipe. with this its the same thing. it could be stuck closed...... in a more extreme case, one or all of your intake valves might not be seating correctly. i would then take it to a shop that specializes in working on volkswagons.
How do you turn off the air bag light on a 1998 VW Beetle?
By having the SRS system repaired. Time for a trip to the dealer. Do not attempt to repair yourself. Serious injury can occur. remember tho it is under warentee for life as long as you have not been in an accedent
Follow-up: I don't believe this is warrantied for life in my experience. Here's what causes this issue on Beetle side airbags:
The receiving side of the seat-belt buckle - the side where the metal buckle plugs in - has 2 thin wires going into its base on a plug. These activate the side air bags in a collision. There is a wiring harness under the seat which connect them to the side air bag. In non-collision situations, these tend to separate for the following reasons: 1. They are too flimsy and normal use makes them separate. 2. The wiring harness under the seat is too short. This means that when you access the back seat, which causes the bucket seats to lift up and lean forward, it puts stress on the wires, causing them to separate and the side airbag light to come on. I had one repaired by the dealer at a cost of about $400. I never use the back seat, but after the repair, the first time I pulled the seats back to clean the rear leather seats, the side airbag light came on again. It may have been the passenger seat that caused it this time. The original poster is right: You can't fix this by splicing the wires back together because of extremely narrow tolerances on the electrical impulses. In my car, the broken wires did not cause the airbag to deploy. I am guessing that there are other sensors that have to receive signals in a collision situation. The dealer charges about $100 just to diagnose the problem. The fix is to replace the receiving end of the buckle and the harness. In my case, I could see the broken wires separated from the tiny plug at the base of the drivers seat where it entered the seat belt base, but the wires can break internally where the damage can't be seen. VW has a analytical computer program called VAG which can diagnose this problem. If you don't want to go to a dealer, many German car repair shops have the software. it also works on AUDI. This is different from a standard emissions OBII tester, which only checks emissions codes. You can buy the VAG software to use with a laptop, but as the original poster says, airbags aren't something for shade-tree mechanics to play with. This is just another example of VW problems that should have been subject to recall, but have not.
How do you replace the bulb on your 2005 vw golf heater control?
remove the center knob which controls the fan speed. pull straight out using pliers but be careful not to damage the knob itself. The one bulb in the center lights all the climate control dials. Get a new bulb at vw and replace. Similar size bulbs from parts stores dont work cause the body of the bulb is smaller than the vw bulbs so the don't stay in place well.

Adding coolant to your 99 vw golf gti?
ONLY GET VW COOLANT or be dumb and put cheap stuff in and pay for it later. NEVER put green coolant in. Will destroy all coolant parts. It will rot them. Happened to me. I had to replace it all.
as with most cars you should almost always follow vehicle manufactures recommendations. I'm lucky, I have a 20 years plus VW dealer tech in the family and he warned me of this when I bought my 1998 2.0 GTI. The same is true when adding power steering fluid. In high school auto shop I was taught that regular ATF fluid was acceptable to use in place of power steering fluid. not the case any longer.
How many RPM's should a 2000 vw beetle be showing at 70 mph?

How do you fix the horn on a 2001 Rav4?
Buy a new one... You may not need it but they aren't expensive (I got 2 LOUD ones and it is much better than the sissy horns that are OEM). That's right there are 2 wired in series. The problem is most likely corrosion, so you'll want to purchase some wire (16ga black), some dielectric grease, and a few wire connectors (I'm not sure what they are called but they are the "female" match to the flat terminal type). You'll want to get some connectors which are coated in plastic that will offer some protection from the elements. The problem with the design is they are right in front mounted to the bumper and they are only covered by the plastic bumper cover. All the salt, water and junk gets all over the wires. So once you have the parts you'll need to remove the bumper housing off you'll be able to see the horns. There are 4 or 6 screws on the top to take the grill off and then some more under that to get the bumper cover. in adition to that there are screws and plastic clips in the wheel wells that connect to the bumper cover. Take your time and don't try to force the cover off, just look for a screw or clip you may have missed. Anyway once you get to the bumper and see the horns ar fairly self explanitory. If you bought new horns you'll need to do some custom mounting and may need a say or cutting wheel to remove the brackets welded to the bumper. Like I said, the OEM horns are probably fine... the wiring is coroded. So make sure you get to some clean wire (you may have to trim back a ways. Use the dielectric grease all over any connectors and wire splices... and electric tape over that. The big take home is protect the wires and connections from the elements the best you can.
What are the ignition timing marks on a 92 civic?
There are 4 marks on the crank pulley. When standing on the driver side of the car looking down on the pulley, the mark farthest to the right is the mark for TDC (Top Dead Center). The three marks on the left are for the spark timing.
Of these three the mark in the center should align with the arrows/triangles on the timing belt cover when the engine is running and a timing light is shining on the crank pulley.
The outer two marks represent Honda's tolerances for the ignition timing.
Be sure to let the engine warm up before checking/adjusting the timing.
