How do you change the low beams on a 2001 VW Beetle?

You have to pull the headlight assembly out. There is a lever on the inside of the car around the assembly that you lift (rotate) to unlock the assembly. If there's a lot of road dirt up there it can stick. Then you can pull the headlight out. Be carefull, on one side there's an additional "lock" that you have to press to release the lever. I found out the hard way when I snapped the lever off. After changing the bulb, there are two, one high and one low beam, installation is the reverse.

Where is the location of the thermostat on a 98 firebird 3800 engine?

How do you replace the spring on the external clutch operating arm on a 1969 VW Bug?

First, loosen the clutch cable, and remove the wing nut all the way and pull the cable out of the way. Mark the outside of the arm in case you forget which way it goes back together. Look at the end of the shaft where the arm attaches. There is a small circlip (circular clip with 2 small holes). Spray it down with WD40 or equivalent and let it soak a few. Remove the circlip...you will need some circlip pliars specially designed to remove and install the clip. Then, the arm should slide out, off of the shaft. Some prying might be needed to get it started...just be careful not to force anything. The old, and probably broken, spring will come off now. Reassemble. The arm is splined so that it only goes on one way. Take a good look so that you see how the splines work and how to get it back together. Rememer which side is the outside? Hook the 'hook' part of the spring around the arm and slide the arm and spring back on the shaft. The spring is correct as long as the hook part of the spring wraps around and contacts the part of the arm closest to the front of the vehicle. As you start sliding the arm onto the shaft, you will see that the straight part of the spring end needs to be popped up onto the shelf near the front of the vehicle...giving it it's springing action. This can be a little tricky, but not too bad. Once you have the spring seated correctly, the arm will slide all the way back on. It is all the way in as long as the groove that the circlip fits into is visible. Finally, replace the circlip and readjust the clutch. Don't tighten the cluth too much, or it will ride your throughout bearing and wear your cluch prematurely. There should be just a tad of slop in the pedal before you feel the clutch start to engage. And last thing...be really careful if you are jacking up your vehicle and working under it. Always work on a flat and hard surface. Always use jack stands and block the front wheels. Have fun and be safe.

How do you change the spark plugs in a 1998 Hyundai elantra?

I have a 99 Elantra, so I'll assume it's the same as mine. There's a few bolts on the top of the engine on a plastic cover. (The middle part where the plug wires run under) Undo those, and the plastic cover should come right off. Follow the plug wires, and there's your plugs. They are recessed into the engine. Pull the wires off, and you'll need a spark plug socket and an extension piece, it's probably a 6 inch deep hole. Carefully remove the plugs, and replace them with new ones. Make sure you torque them properly. You can find such information either from the plug manufacturer or from Hyundai. Make sure to put dielectric grease on the spark plug wire ends to prevent moisture from getting in there, and to ease removal in the future.

How do you remove a 92 Legend marker light?

How do you change reverse lights on a 1999 vw beetle?

Directly below the light, under the bumper cover, is a black triangular piece of plastic. Remove the 3 screws with the proper sized torx bit. This will give you access to the lamp wiring. Turn the light housing counter clockwise about a quarter inch and remove. Lamp can then be replaced. After doing so, rub the lamp with a alcohol wipe to remove any oils left from your finger, as not doing so will severely shorten the life of the lamp by creating a hot spot. Installation is the reverse of removal.

Oil change frequency on a 2003 Mercedes e class?

Newer vehicles say they can do up to 7500 miles on a oil change. I would never do that though. The more frequently you change the oil the better it is for the vehicle no matter if it is a Mercedes or a Buick. I try to change mine at least no more than 5000 miles. I use sythetic oil and have been happy with the results. It is seems to start easier on those cold morings and also the synthetic doesnt break down near as easily as regular petroleum based oils. I hope this helps you. Good luck.

How do you get a 2001 VW Bug out of park?

Make sure you have your foot all the way down solid on the brake pedal. There is a locking mechanism that prevents the car from being moved out of park unless the brake is firmly depressed. A mis-adjusted brake switch or the lock mechanism could go bad also, so listen for a light clicking sound when you press the brake (releasing the lock mechanism). If you dont' hear anything, it might be broke or stuck. I am not aware of anything special other than that.

How do you change the rear signal light bulb on 2002 Volkswagen beetle?

Open the hatch. Right behind the light fixture that contains the bad bulb is a cover plate inside the trunk. Remove it and reach inside. You'll find two big plastic nuts that hold the fixture in place. Remove both (they turn with the hand) and push the fixture out of the fender. Unhook the wire to the bulb, twist the socket to get it out, change the bulb, put the socket back in and reconnect the wire, put the fixture back in, put the nuts back on and replace the cover.
