VW Golf

i know gti stands for grande turismo internationale

Press and hold button "A" (positioned right of trip recorder display) Switch ignition ON The word "SERVICE" will appear in the trip recorder display Release button "A" Turn button "B" (positioned left of trip recorder display) to the right to reset the display Switch ignition OFF

once you have bought a new one just pop your boot and there is clips that hold your tail lights in unclip and the light housing is there just check which one comes on while its in reverse and change it

Possilby the return line is rusted on the top of your tank and the fact that the system is pressurized while running, it will "bleed" off this fuel as a leak while park. Oh, and if this is the case...it is also leaking while you drive.

You replace the rear wheel bearings for a 1997 plymouth breeze by taking it to a very skilled mechanic and just waiting it out. If you want to do it yourself I can't help you with that.

I think sek fan means lunch - literally "eat rice" - not sure of the loh bit

replace your PCV first if it persists you will need to look into why you have so much pressure in the crankcase.

There will need to be an alignment done on the vehicle to straighten the steering wheel properly. The adjustment to make it straight is called a "toe Adjustment". If it pulls while driving causing the steering wheel not to be straight it will need a Caster or Camber adjustment or all of these may need adjustmnet.

yes as long as they are the same stud fitment.

The mk4 golf is 5x100 bolt pattern and the mk3 golf is 4x100. unless it's a vr6 model which has the 5x100 bolt pattern so in general the mk4 wheels will not fit a mk 3.

Water Pump Replacement info

This describes changing the water pump and timing belt as well as all the V-belts (a.k.a. fan belts) on a typical water cooled VW. This is a fun repair and describes the procedure that I use for my '86 Jetta with A/C. It should be the same for all second generation Golfs and Jettas with the 1.8L engine. It will be very close for most other Jettas and Golfs.

To replace the water pump, you need to remove the lower timing belt cover and once that is done it is easy to change the timing belt as well. When this is done all the belts will be off the car so its a logical time to replace all the belts.

It is generally recommended that the timing belt be replaced every 60,000 to 90,000 miles. It is also recommended that the cooling system be flushed every 2 years. This will accomplish both.

The shop books claim this should take 4 hours but it could take as many as 8 or as little as an hour. It is the most expensive of the common maintenance procedures on a VW but doing it yourself will save you a bit of cash since it is a timing consuming job. The parts can be had for as little as $40 for generic after market parts to about $160 for genuine VW parts from an dealer.

What is needed Tools: 6mm and 8mm Allen wrench socket, 5mm Allen wrench. 8mm, 13mm, 19mm socket and ratchet. 10mm combination wrench. Long ratchet extensions (at least one 6in, more are helpful). 5inch Wheel puller (for main shaft pulley). (Some models may need a special spanner tool to adjust the timing belt tensioner) Parts: 2 gal of anti-freeze mixed with distilled water. All three V-belts. (Alt, A/C, P/S) $32.95 New water pump top. $91.91 New gasket for WP. $9.13 New timing belt. $26.13

Warnings: If you change the timing belt you might need to adjust the timing. If you mess up, you must reset the timing. If you are uncomfortable with that task, don't replace the timing belt. This info is to assist and supplement a reference such as the Bentley service manual. It is provided without any warrantee so use at your own risk. It assumes some basic auto repair knowledge. So in other words, if you have never looked under the hood of your car, this is not something you want to try.

Procedure: remove battery cable (either power (+) or ground (-)) remove alternator remove A/C remove power steering pump remove water pump pulleys remove main shaft pulleys remove timing belt covers remove A/C mounting hardware remove timing belt (don't turn any of the wheels its connected to) replace timing belt adjust belt tension remove water pump face put on new gasket and new part. Leave pulleys off. replace bottom timing belt cover, replace crank shaft pulley, replace steering pump, replace A/C, put small belt on A/C (hang loose) put large belt around A/C, Main and water pump pulley. put middle size belt on Main water pump and power steering pump reattach bolts for the steering pump pulleys put alternator back on adjust all belts. connect battery

Problem areas: Main pulley: There are 4 6mm hex head bolts. These must be removed. The main 19mm hex head can be used to turn the engine it the timing belt slips and you have to readjust the timing.

Putting on new belts: This can be a real pain if you get VW belts. The adjustments won't give enough to put the belts over the edge so the easy way is to remove the pulley on the water pump. Then its real easy.

Timing: If you turn the wheels that the timing belt goes on you will have to reset the timing. Mark the timing points with something like whiteout so its easy to see. The timing mark on the toothed gears are small dots. The timing mark for the crankshaft is a small cut on the outer pulley. When its aligned with the intermediate wheel timing mark (there is an arrow on the cover as a hint) should intersect as viewed from the right wheel well. The camshaft timing mark should line up with the top of the engine near the front.

Power steering pump: It is held on with lots of bolts. One is in a channel that is hard to see but can be found with a 6" extension. If you look at the pump you will see three bolts that go into the housing. This should give you an idea where the forth is.

it is on the thermostat housing

I am searching that for a friend. If I find out I'll tell ya. Good Luck. (The mechanic in Mexico told her "It is possessed, go to the shaman").

You have a haunted car

Iv just had the same problem with my 1.6, it's sounds like your engine speed sensor. Cost about £80 from vw dealer.

The only way to turn it off is to correct the problem turning it on, once corrected it will turn off by itself. It being on shows that there is a current problem and that no air bags will deploy in the event of an accident until the light is off There is a "clockspring" in the steering column that is probably broken. When the clockspring breaks, the airbag light comes on. The "clockspring" takes the place of the old slip rings and spring loaded contacts used in older cars to transfer circuits from the steering wheel to the stationary column making the airbag, horn and speed control operational. To replace involves removing the airbag. Take it to the dealer. There was a recall on many 2000 Impala's concerning the air bag system. The light on our Impala would turn on & off intermittently before we took it in. The dealer will be able to do a VIN search to see if your vehicle has had the service performed or not.

You don't. Wait for the engine to cool down to avoid getting burned before you open radiator cap.

under the rear seat,

It sounds like the throttle body and associated air passages are plugged with gunk and need a cleaning. Could also be a plugged airfilter. Low battery voltage. Engine ignition timimg set wrong.

1-3-4-2 with no. 1 spark plug being on the cam-belt side of the engine and no. 4 plug by the gearbox end.

it's on the vim plate which is located on the left handside of the cetre stand bracket. starways are also suppield with 'vim sticker' which can be stuck to any part of the scooter

Does it blow all the time or not work at all If it blows all the time it's the horn relay which is located on the horn it self horns from the dealer are expensive Mine's 58$ YOU might also have a blown fuse in the under the hood fuse box If the horn circuit is any thing at all like my sw2 the relay or horn wire has 3 wires one should be hot the other two are switched and a ground as far as I can figure out Good luck doug

Just did this in wife's 1999 SL2. Watch this video for details. Total time less than 10 minutes to replace. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltiNuHdKeIg

ABOVE PEDDALS NEAR YOUR SHINS. PULL THE FLAP OPEN.

There is a lever on the left side of the column that unlocks it.
