VW Golf

The thermostat on all water-cooled cars is in the same place: inside the fitting where the upper radiator hose connects to the engine.

This looks like a long complicated explanation and process, but I just tried to be as detailed as possible to avoid any confusion.

To replace the day running lights you will need these tools: 2 Flathead Screwdrivers (you'll see why two in a sec), 1 Phillips Screwdriver, and a 13/32" hex driver or ratchet (I used the 13/32, but it was a bit big, you might have better luck in a metric size, i just didnt have the metrics), and the correct bulbs for the Day Running Lights (numbers can be found at auto parts store)

First thing you need to do is pop the hood. Along the top of the front grill, there will be four little black plastic pop-out retainers. Use the flat head screwdriver to pop these out and put them aside.

Then, look inside the grill from the front and you will see on the corners there will be black plastic pieces with a Phillips screw slot in them, there will be one per corner. Turn them so that they click out of place, don't force them too far.

Then, lift the top black engine cover that you loosened by removing the pop-out retainers and to the right of the center of the grill you will see a small hex-head screw that needs to be removed.

After that is removed, you will have to pop the sides of the grill out. There are metal clips holding it to the body, so push in on one side as you pull it and when one side pops out, do the other. Remove the grill and set it aside.

The lower light housing (where the DRLs are) will need to be popped out of place. To do this, use a flat head screwdriver to press on the clip closest to the center of the vehicle first (this one's hard, it will take some elbow grease).

Then, use the flathead to loosen the clip on the outside side of the housing. With the housing now hanging, the DRL should be able to be removed.

The plug it is in will need to be taken out of the housing first. There is a clip on the plug; press it and turn the plug counterclockwise to remove it. Then use the Phillips screwdriver to push in the small retainers on each side of the plug to remove the lightbulb.

Now the tricky part. Take both flathead screwdrivers, and one will go on one side of the bulb and one on the other. there are small grooves on each side of the bulb where it plugs in...put the flat head in the grooves, and use them at the same time as levers to remove the bulb. Then pop the new one in. (Sounds simple, but it may take a few minutes to be able to successfully remove the bulb.)

Then put the plug housing back into the headlight housing and turn clockwise. Then reattatch the housing with the outside clip going in first, then the inside one. (Remember to do both headlights.)

Then, put the grill back on. Position the four corner latches, then clip both sides. Then turn the corner clips with the Phillips to clip them on. Then screw in the hex-head screw. Then replace the four black pop-out retainers on top. Youre Done!

don't know, looking for the answer myself

Go in trunk; remove 4 screws from the pump cover (2 at either bottom corner, 2 at top close together) and remove that. There is a gold coloured nut sitting atop the now visible reservoir. Unscrew that. You can now top up the reservoir VERY slowly (use a small funnel otherwise the hydraulic oil will get everywhere) and reverse process when done. Only 5 minute job. THIS IS FOR A MK3 (93-98) I think its same for other models too, certainly MK4's.

It sounds like the cv boot on the axle. When there is a hole, the grease leaks out and it starts to grind the axle. You may need a new left or right axle, and cv boot.

Ok, I have an active dealer code figured out. You're going to need to take a pen and paper with you out to the car.

1) Go out to your car, and put the key to the 'on' position (not run). When the radio turns on, press and hold #2 and #3. After about ten seconds, three numbers will appear on the screen. Take your time and write these down.

2) After you have the first three numbers, press and release the AM/FM button. Three more numbers will appear on the screen. Write these down.

3) With your new-found 6-digit code, go inside and call 1-800-537-5140. It's just an electronic answering machine. Once the guy finishes talking, press 202108, followed by the *Asterisk* button (not pound).

4) He'll then tell you to enter in your 4- or 6-digit code, followed by the star/asterisk again. So, type in the numbers you got out of your radio, and hit star/asterisk.

5) He'll then tell you your 4-digit unlock code. Write it down.

If you look at the second post the guy says where it's located on his mk4 golf. !

1) Unscrew the centre console. The 2 screws for this are in that little storage box thing behind the handbrake but you will need to remove thal little piece of carpet at the bottom of the box to get to them.

2) Remove the plastic panel around the gear shifter. In an auto you do this by taking out the ash tray (easy). Then you can just pull the plastic panel off but it requires a bit of force.. This will reveal three screws which you can now take off.

3) Open the glove box on the passenger side and the panel under the steering wheel in the drivers side (the one with all the fuses in it). This will reveal three screws on each side of the console which you can now undo.

4) Remove the plastic bit surrounding the stereo. This is not screwed in but it needs a bit of force to remove.

5) Take out heater controls. There is one black screw holding this in so undo that. The dial thing which controls the temperature has a long metal rod which you have to undo. At the end of it. The end of it is right under the dash in drivers side and you can unclip it but its fidely and hard to reach. with the heater noe out you will see a few more screws so undo them all.

6) You can now take off the rest of the console which is in the way of the stereo. Unscrew the bracket holding the stereo in and take it out

It could be that the oil pressure switch has failed and caused the oil lamp to come on,this is common and easy to fix.Initially though,check the oil level,and if low, top it up to max. You don't state what car or engine but the lamp means low oil pressure and a big bill if you continue to drive without investigation. Some cars when servicing is poor,will by-pass a blocking oil filter and trigger a warning,you may just need an oil and filter change?

How I programmed the control remote to my 1998 VolksWagen Golf:

There is a video that explains the procedure, I posted the link below and also wrote the steps right after the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsFEz67KXiM&feature=related

1.-You need two keys, if you only have one key then you can go to the dealership and pay close to $20 for one with the Volkswagen logo or less than $2 for a generic one.

2.-Take the control remote that you want to program (I have three controls in total). With one of the keys turn the car on without turning the engine on, just so the radio works.

3.-Then, introduce the second key in the driver's door and turn it all the way to the LEFT and hold it there until there are two beeps (about 10 seconds.)

4.-Then press a button on the remote control, press any of the buttons or keys.

To test the remote remember to remove the key in the ignition key.

I had the other two remotes in my pocket and they were all programmed at the same time. Also, one of the toggle keys in one of my remotes was not working, so I opened it and saw that the button to open the trunk was broken off, so I soldered it to the board and now it is like new.

==============================

I feel that is very fair business practice that if I buy a remote from the dealership the programming would be included, and that if I take my control to them to be reprogrammed they would do it for free with the hope that I will gain trust on their fairness and come back to do my work with them. Right now I will avoid their service unless absolutely necessary, and will share my experience with all my e-mail and Facebook contacts.

So the moral of my story . . . is to be wary of the mechanical services at the dealership.

Take it to A shop if you are not familiar with mechanical repairs, It sounds like you may have A bad wheel bearing.

if i turn the key and all i hear is click- click- click real fast, is that mean i need a new starter?

I bought a touran and it has 77,000 miles on it with no record of timing belt do I need to get this done soon

I believe you will find it has a chain instead of a belt. You did not list the year so I cannot say for sure.

How to install thermostat in a 1994 volkswagen golf?

Smoke from the vents can indicate a problem with the brushes in the interior blower motor. It may also be a symptom of the vehicle being on fire in which case evacuation and retreat to a safe distance is advisable.

Nope

from recent experience of a few 2.0 AGG engines, you should get between 18 and 25 around town, 25 and 40mpg motorway, dont believe WHICH or GLASSES figures as they are incorrect and just an average!

lower control arm is where the camber and caster adjustment is. you cannot change camber without changing caster. the vehicle has to be aligned. to answer the ? the front bolt on lower control arm. to raise pull under to lower slide out
