Why would antifreeze leak from the cap?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Probably because the cap is worn out. They're cheap, so you might as well replace it. Look at where the seal touches the radiator while you're at it and make sure there's no crud interfering with making a good seal. In a modern car the fluid level goes all the way to the top of the radiator, and the overflo gets caught in the bottle, so if the seal isn't good it will leak more or less all the time, at least until you've lost so much coolant that the radiator is no longer full. The gasket is probably damaged or worn. Replace the cap and it should be ok. Caps are supposed to be able to typically hold 12 to 15 PSI, depending on the manufacturer. If you're building more pressure than that, you probably have a problem with the cooling system and will need to investigate further.

How to start VW in the cold?

Asked by Wiki User

Same way you do when it's warm. Turn the key.

If it's a diesel (would be nice if you said what model and engine) and its starting hard, plug in the block heater for a few minutes before you try to start.

Where is the relay and fuse for the seat belt located on a 1993 mercury villager?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you are looking for a broken fuse on this problem, then you are gonna have more than just the belts not operating (dome lights, power windows and more.) The fuse compartment beside the parking brake release handle contains the fuse for the belts. Something probable is the Inertia switch having high resistance. It will keep both belts on the rear (B)pillar even if you open the doors. To check the inertia switch on the left side behind the cover (you can see a small red button)remove it and use a ohmeter to see if the resistance is close to zero. Try cycling it with a small shock it will open and the just push the red button to close it. Recheck the resistance if it was high.

I just had the very same thing happen to me yesterday. My truck had been making that noise for about 2 weeks and then yesterday I went to start my truck and it died on me. My husband put in a new battery and it started right back up! It's alive!! If it is not your battery then it could aslo be your starter, but have your battery checked first. I hope that this helped:)

Vw Jetta 02 radio doesn't play?

Asked by Wiki User

My 2000 VW beetle was taken into the shop about a month ago for a new transmission. After 3 weeks, it was finally fixed, but the radio and tape player will not play any music OR sound. I don't believe it's the fuse b/c the radio display will turn on just not play any music or change stations.

You don't mention the type of vehicle so the best advice I can offer is to go to an auto parts store and buy a Haynes Repair Manual for your vehicle. It will give you step by step instructions for the replacement.

Why won't my car start after not being used for 1 week?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Chance is your battery might be flat. Do you headlamps etc come on and stay on? Have you tried charging your battery? If you dont have a charger you can try bump starting it, by pushing it with a friend and dropping it into gear, or roll down a hill and try, normally in second. If you have an auto, you have to charge it.

If that works and you plan on leaving the car standing for a month again, get a friend to pop round and start it every week or disconnect the battery. Quite easy to do, just need a spanner and lie the cables to the side of the battery. When you are back just connect it up, might take a couple of turns but should start. Hope this helps.

How do you reset the radio code on a 1998 Volkswagon Jetta?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

here ya go,

You have to press TA & TP together, then the 1000 appears and you enter the code using the 1-4 buttons then press TA & TP again to confirm (it's a BETA 4 radio).

If it is the current Beta proceed as follows: 1. Switch on: Display reads "SAFE" 2. Enter code using button "1" to enter the first digit of code, button "2" to enter the second digit etc. 3. When all 4 digits of the code are correctly display, press either the manual setting rocker (>) or the search (>>) button for more than 2 seconds. Then release. 4. The radio should then play. If it does not, press either the "FM" or "CC" button. Hope this helps.

AnswerI have a 1997 VW Jetta, I had work done on it and the radio went in to SAFE mode. I accidently entered the wrong code 2 or 3 times and now I can't get it back to BETA mode to enter the code I have.

What can I do?

AnswerOnce you have your 4 digit code and the radio is set to 1000. You put the code in one at a time until you have entered all of them starting from the first digit 1. My 1998 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg Edition's code is 0986. After I entered the code, I pressed the seek button for at least 2 seconds and the radio immediately began to play.

Answer:

If your jetta has SEEK/SCAN and buttons, press SEEK with the lower >, 1000 appears, enter your code, press SEEK and > again for about 2 seconds..radio will start playing.

Asked by Wiki User

If it won't unlock with the key, this means that the rod from the key tumbler to the door latch has become disconnected or is broken. If you can get the door open, you will need to remove the inside door panel and look in through the holes to see what the problem is.

Whats the easiest way to remove the oil pan from a 93 Nissan Maxima?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's not good. You have to partially drop the steering to have the pan clear and take it totally out, especially if your oil pump is still installed because the stem with the screen goes way to the bottom of the pan. I've had my pan down several times, but I could manage to maneuver it enough to get in and clean the bottom of the pan, or remove the oil pump.

Where is the starter enable relay located on a 1998 Oldsmobile 88 LS?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's probably part of the starter itself. Look to see where the BIG positive wire from the battery goes. I'll bet it goes to a little cylinder that is part of the starter. This little cylinder is the relay and starter solenoid that engages the starter gear into the flexplate as it closes the relay to the starter to turn the engine over. TommyTrouble

Asked by Wiki User

generally starters are located by the transmission so they spin the vehicles flywheel and start the vehicle. so check around the tranny in the front

the starter is under the intake on the 2.4 liter. look between your valve cover and the firewall.easiest way to change it is pull your intake,mass airflow sensor,etc

I believe u can remove the air intake box and a couple of hoses and pull the starter out that way easier, but you will still have to get under the car to get to the starter to unbolt the it
