How do you replace a headlight bulb on a 2003 VW Jetta?

for the passenger side follow these steps - there are two metal retaining clips that you need move out ot the way. They do not come off but are moved with a little pressure towards the outside of the cover plate. They must go up over a little nibs of plastic so a screwdriver can be used to pry them up slightly if it makes it easer. - Genlty pull the cover plate off by wiggilling it back and forth as you pull it off. - notice how the bulb is in the hole as it can only go in one way - the plastic clip holding the wires to the bulb runs perpendicular to the outside passenger fender - reach into the hole and you will find a retaining ring turn it about an 1/8th of a turn counterclockwise then gently pull it off - now gently wiggle the bulb as you remove it - carefully pry up the clip holding the wires to the bulb and remove the wiring harnes - have now removed the buld - I strongly suggest before you reverse these steps and install the new bulb that you practice once or twice with the burned out bulb as there are 3 channel keys that need to align and it can be a little tricky/frustrating if the bulb does not go in easily the first time. When you are putting in the bulb it needs to be pressed in slightly to make sure the rubber ring on the bulb offers a snug fit to the light housing. This does have the advantage of holding the bulb in place while you put the retaining ring back in place. - For the drivers side the steps are the same but you are very cramped for space so removing the battery cover is needed.

What is torque specs for 36 mm axle nut on a 73 super beetle?

I believe it's 240 Lbs. You should buy the Bently manual. There is a new tool that's perfect for the axle nut and the Gland nut for the Fly wheel. It mounts to your brake drum and it use's a reduction gear so you can actually use a torque wrench. I belive it reduces it down to about 25 or 30 lbs of torque. It's about $60.00 US. It's awesum. Check the main VW online stores.

ok, it is very simple. all you have to do is take off the door panel, and if you have the tweeter in the corner of the door, you are going to have to take the screen off and undo the bolts, then there are 3 bolts that hold the mirror on..... i would recommend to take a digital camera with you so you can take pictures of everything and that way you will be able to put everything back in place..

autozone.com has online manuals that give step by step how to

Removing the Door PanelIt's easy!
  1. Remove triangle-shaped plastic cover Fwd of door window - gently pry it off
  2. Remove screw from the plastic cover behind door open lever
  3. Remove door lock plunger. (unscrew)
  4. Remove screws down inside the door pull hand-hold area
  5. Look for other Phillips screws - sometimes around the lower 1/2
  6. Pry hidden plastic hold down fasteners from around the edge - pull the panel away from the door and where you see it 'stuck' to the door, slide a pry tool, a stiff putty knife works well, up in that area and pop the fastener off.
  7. Lift door liner enough to get to the mirror power connector and unplug.
  8. For some model years, with door panel loose, you can access the bolts / screws that hold the interior trim piece in place and remove.
  9. Remove Mylar cover for access to 3 Mirror mount studs, speaker screws, door lock actuators, window motors, etc.

96, 97 or 98 side mirror replacementFirst You have to pop the black cover off the speaker "triangle". That way you can get at the screws that hold the speaker bracket (2 or 3). Under that, and through access holes in the door, are three nuts that hold the mirror on 13mm I think. You will need a ratchet an deep socket or 2" extention. Take care not to dropthe nuts; there may be places they can go beyond the ken of men. The bad news is that I think you will have to pop the inside door skin to disconnect the cable . I just did this about two weeks ago, but I'm not sure sitting here at the computer. The door I replaced my poor door with was a 1996. My Taurus is a 1998. So there are minor variations. The '98 had three screws through the edge of the skin to hold the door skin besides the plastic reuseable grip plugs you can't see until the skin is removed. It would be an easy 15 min job if not for the skin. .

To take of the inside panel just remove the screws under the panel, on the left side, and one (that is hard to get to) on the inside. I don't know how to get to the mirror tho. If you know how to get that far can you email me at Chriscox06@yahoo.com I need to replace my whole mirror setup. I and if you already knew this, sorry i couldn't help.

In general, the primary mounting screws for the side mirror are under the triangle cover piece - often that is held in place with a single screw itself.

I have found the electric connector to be fairly short, so it may be possible to replace the mirror without removing the door panel.

Remove the speaker cover by carefully prying it off. From the inside of the car, remove the three nuts that attach the mirror bolts. Remove mirror. Re-install the same way.

go to a pic ur part junk yard and find a new one pull the wires out through the door panel its easy
