How do you turn on the heater on a 1973 Volkswagen beetle?

I think. it would be the knobs on each side of the parking brakes(if they are still there in that year) pull them both up (i think) while the motor is on and you should get warm air to come out. You probably CAN'T turn it on, unless:
the heater boxes, which are sheet metal pieces wrapped around the cast-iron exhaust manifolds, are intact
the control levers on the sides of the heater boxes are there, the butterfly valve they control is there, and the cable running to the lever is there, intact and connected at both ends
the hoses connecting the heater channels to the heater boxes are there and intact
the heater channels don't have any holes in them

and even if all that stuff is right, you STILL don't get much heat out of them!

Is it normal for a car to be leaking a small amount of oil from the left front wheel area that you can see because of splatter on the alloy wheels?

No oil leak is normal. I would suspect you have a leaking wheel cylinder or caliber. What you are seeing may be brake fluid. Have this looked at ASAP. Make sure that this not just brake dust and water. If it is an oil leak it most likely is brake fluid, and it needs repaired ASAP.

How do you change the spark plugs on a 2006 Odyssey efficiently after 100k miles?

You need to check the oners manual to be sure, but I think that since you have a V-tech engine they don't need to be changed. This is what i saw on the dealers maintenance schedule.

Actually, the plugs should be replaced at 105,000 miles according to the owner's manual and the dealer.

7/2009 : it took me around 1 hour to change all 6 plugs - it's not that bad. Get yourself a good socket wrench (I used a T shaped spring handle from pet-boys). GENTLY unplug the coil wires - do not pull on them. Use an allens wrench to take off the coil bolt. Remove the 6" coil. The spark plugs are deep down inside. I always put some anti-seize lubicant on the plugs. The owners manaul show ssmall diagram how to do it! I used NGK "id-rid-ium" plugs - Ike $6 each at pep-boys. The dealer wants $225 to do the work.

How do you install accelerator cable?

Get John Muirs -"How to keep your Volkswagen alive, A manual for the Compleat Idiot" and Bentleys "workshop manual". They have a huge amount of info, John Muir is a "real world" work-book and the Bently Manual is the VW "Official Workshop Manual" . You'll have to get the Bentley manual as they changed the way they did it slightly every few years. But it's similar to all. You'll have to get access to the floor as part of the cable goes thru the tunnel.

Can you put orange antifreeze in a 2002 VW Beetle?

It's possible...my 2002 Saturn Vue takes orange antifreeze (Dex-Cool). To be sure, check your owner's manual.

I have a 2002 Jetta that uses the orange stuff and they told me when I bought it that I had to use that kind. I don't know why the Beetles would be any different. Whether you "have" to or not I don't know, but I always have.
