How much do veterinary assistant make?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because veterinary assisting is an entry-level position with no requirements for specialized education or training, veterinary assistants generally start out making close to minimum wage. Over time the hourly wage may increase, but it will often be limited because many states limit the tasks that a veterinary assistant may perform at all or without a licensed veterinarian within line of sight.

How do you change the shift knob on a 2002 Jetta?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The shift knob on the '00 and '01 Jettas cannot be removed or replaced. *** This is incorrect. You do have to replace both the shift knob and boot with a vw specific shiftknob and boot. You have bend a clip to "unlock" the old shift knob. My replacement shift knob came with a new clip so I ended up breaking the original instead of trying to keep it intact.

This is a strange question, something is making think that this is a beighbours car or somebody else which has been annoying you with their horn! The horn itself is usually tucked away behind the front grill, simply pull off a wire or cut it. You will need to open the bonnet though to access it from above. If this IS your own car though, it's worth remembering that it might technically make the car illegal to drive or at least, it would not pass an MOT without the horn.

How do you get rid of the crayon smell in an 2001 Jetta - short of having it professionally done?

User Avatar

Asked by Norabellj

Answer - CRAYON SMELL DIESEL JETTA 2001I have the same problem. I shampood it, but it came back. I think it will continue until we can stop the fumes from getting in. The air that comes through the return/outside air valve, under the dash,has to be contributing to this problem. That's what I'm working on now.

They crayon smell is due to the sound deadening material they put under the carpet. From my research it was mostly the 2001 and 2002 model years...not only for Jetta's but also for New Beetles. I finally found a solution.

From my post on newbeetle.org

So I decided to get to the bottom of this crayon smell once and for all. I had already taken my drivers seat out to replace the set belt clip and figured I'd just go the extra mile. After taking the seat out I was able to slice off a little piece of the sound deadening pad that's under the carpet, and sure enough, it was the problem! Took me about an hour to take apart the center console and the passenger and back seat. Took me about 35 or 40 minutes to pull up the carpet/take out the sound barrier. If you mechanically inclined at all and have a few hours you could easily handle this job. I have the seats airing out in the garage and the windows down in the car to get rid of any lingering odor. If anyone wants more details, let me know....

Asked by Wiki User

With the key in the 'off' position, hold down the wrench button. Turn the key to the 'on' position (while still holding the wrench). There are two buttons on the lower left side of the instrument cluster. Press the one the right. The MFI (Center display) will now say something like 'service now'. Turn the ignition to 'off', then start the car. The service indicator will be reset.

You have two choices fix the alarm by installing a new tumbler, or disable your alarm. Either way you'll need to remove the drivers door handle.

Open the door, undo the torx screw just above the lock, turn key clockwise and hold, then pull gently out and back. Handle will release 80% of the way, now slide the latch that is attached to the handle release to the right. The door handle should now be out. Take out the pin which compresses the spring? (It may have removed itself, and fallen into the door, leave it there,you don't need it anymore).

Stick a small screw driver into the slot you see and turn it counter clockwise 1/4 turn to turn off the alarm. If you remove the battery, or boost it, you'll need to do this every time.

Or you can fix it once and be done...

Buy the new tumbler kit (they are built stronger than the originals, and have the parts you lost)!Not expensive. Then one screw at the base of the tumbler removes the lock mechanism, remove it with the key inserted, note the way that the spring is assembled. Replace each brass piece with your old ones in the order that they came out (to make your old key will work in the new lock), careful not to lose any little springs as you pull each one out. Assemble the handle, and lock the big spring in with the new hook pin at the end. Insert the handle into the door by hooking the release onto the latch on the handle. Turn the key to the right to insert handle all the way. Replace the screw. Test the lock with the door open (you need to close the door latch with a screwdriver, to simulate a closed door).

How do you remove the stereo in a 2002 jetta?

Asked by Wiki User

there are 4 holes in the front face of the stereo. inside are tiny little screws which need to be undone with a small Allen key. then insert the vauxhall remover keys (which can be bought in halfords etc quite cheap) and just pull out. also if you are fitting a new stereo it may not fit straight away. there is a cage that the vauxhall stereo fits into. this is fixed to the bulk head by a torx head screw (star shape) in the centre at the back. then just pull this out. !

How do you replace rear calipers on a 1985 jaguar xj-6?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is a serious job; if you don't pay attention to the shim clearences, and the lock wires that go through the bolts, YOU WILL SCREW IT UP AND ENDANGER THE LIVES OF ANYONE IN THE CAR! Buy a Haynes Repair manual for the car. That $14.00 Book will save you hundreds to thousands. I'm not giving you a fish; I'm teaching you how to fish. As a fellow Jag (V12) owner, this is the best way I can answer your question to help you now, and in the long term.

A horrible task

The entire rear diff unit has to be removed. It's a huge job not suited to non-professionals. Expect to pay for about 8 man hours plus parts and don't even think about taking this to a non Jag mechanic (so the hours will be expensive). Most Jag owners try to get as much rear end work out of the way all at the same time because removing and refitting the rear end is so expensive/painful.

How do you change the speed sensor on a 2002 vw jetta?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For automatic transmission 2002 Jetta TDI, the speed sensor is easy to replace. The symptom of bad speed sensor is the speedo stops working (so you want know the speed of the car while driving). The sensor is located on the transmission, near drive flanges/firewall. Disconnect electrical connector. With hand try to rotate (anticlockwise) the speed to remove it. If you are not able to rotate, use 17mm deep socket, the one used to remove the diesel injectors on 1985-92 diesel vws. After removing it, look underneath the sensor for a shaft. Turn the shaft and see if it cause the dash speedo needle to move or rotate. If it does, that means that the sensor is ok and the portion going inside the transmission that has gears is bad. You can remove that portion with an open end wrench and replace with a new one

How do you change the therostat on a 2000 VW Jetta?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I removed the oil dipstick, then the huge plastic engine cover, put the dipstick back in, then located the thermostat housing on the front side of the engine (as you sit in car) just behind and to the left of the A/C compressor (again, as you sit in car). I then made sure all coolant was drained and then removed the hose by loosening the hose clamp then gently rotating the hose as I pulled on it. Then removed the ( I think 2 or 4 ) small bolts holding the thermostat housing on and pulled off the housing. There is an o-ring there which may need replacing and the parts place should give a new one with new thermostat. The thermostat only goes in one way so it is pretty easy. Installation of the rest is the reversal of removal. Good luck.

What does the crank shaft sensor do?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Crankshaft position sensor, or (CKP) monitors the Crankshaft position and No#1 cylinder piston position while the engine is running. this information is sent to the engine's ECM. ( Electronic Control Module) the ECM then uses this information to calculate several operating parameters for engine performance but mostly it is used to operate the engine's Ignition system ( coil (s) and spark plugs). back in the day' you could replace your "points style distributor" for an "Electroinic-Ignition system" very much like todays MSD distributors. many of those used a Cam-sensor which essentially performed the same function. some used a Crank-sensor instead. basically:these sensors tell the ECM when to fire the spark plugs. before that it was all done with a set of "points" inside the distributor. hope this helps
