Asked by Wiki User

It is recommended to hire a licensed electrician to run a new circuit for the clothes dryer from the fuse box. The unused glass fuses may not be rated for the higher current draw of the dryer and could potentially be a fire hazard. The electrician will be able to assess the existing setup and provide a safe and proper solution.

Where does an inch of water get into the rear passenger footwell of a 2001 LeSabre during a rain storm?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The most common cause of water getting into the rear passenger footwell during a rainstorm in a 2001 LeSabre is a leak in the seals around the rear window or door. Check for cracks or gaps in the window seals or door weatherstripping and repair or replace them as needed to prevent further water entry. Additionally, inspect the rear sunroof drains if the vehicle is equipped with a sunroof, as clogs in these drains can also lead to water leaking into the footwell.

How do you change dashboard light bulb for passat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The left (driver side) headlight is easier. Instructions are in the manual. Make sure you wear latex gloves when handling the old and new headlight bulbs. - Remove rubber casing .. just pull it out.
- Remove electrical connector .. pull it out carefully otherwise the plastic might crack
- Remove metal spring that holds the bulb .. you basically squeeze the 2 arms that are towards the left sideview mirror and pull it away from the bulb
- Remove old bulb


- Now take the new bulb and place it so that it matches the cutout provided
- The 2 connectors of the bulb must be up and down. Not side by side.
- Now place the metal spring on the bulb and squeeze and release and make sure it secures the bulb
- Connect the electrical connector
- Place the rubber casing back on


You are done!


The right side is a little more complicated. Open the hood and as you face the engine, remove You the 2 small screws that are to the right of the bulb. This secures a plastic casing. Then pull out the casing to access the bulb. Once that is done, you repeat the above. Read the owners manual.

How do you compress rear caliper piston on 06 VWpassat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Turn piston with channel lock (slip joint) pliers anti-clockwise whilst applying light pressure to the piston (with 2 people it is easier)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'd be real careful using a channel lock on the caliper. For one person, on my 2002, I purchased a universal caliper kit from Harbor Freight ($30). The tool is perfect for the job. I also purchase the one man brake bleeding kit ($5).

To do the job:

1. Loosen rear wheel lugs (don't remove them yet) while tire is still on the ground (19mm).

2. Jack up one wheel at a time (leave parking brake OFF)

3. Remove the lugs now, and take off the tire.

4. There are 2 13mm bolts that hold the caliper assembly to the wheel. Note on the top one the orientation of the metal bracket that holds the plug for the wear sensor - you will need to know which way to orient it when you reassemble. You will need a 15mm open end wrench to hold the "nut" that will otherwise spin when you remove the 13mm bolts.

5. The brake caliper can now be pulled toward the back of the car and will come off the disk. The emergency brake cable and brake pad sensor wire will still be attached. DO NOT remove the emergency brake cable (no need to).

6. I cut the brake sensor wire near the worn pad. This makes it easier to remove the wire and disconnect the plug from the old pad. Gently slide one or both of the plug assembly from the medal bracket (I only removed the one on the pad side). With a small flat screw driver you need to depress the plastic tab on the plug, and pull to remove the old plug.

Now you are ready to install the new pads

1. Take the tool you purchased from Harbor freight and assemble it with the #5 fitting that is the same size as the eurovan rear caliper piston.

2. Put the tool into the caliper; screw the outer fitting back toward the plate that will serve to push against the outer part of the caliper (opposite of the piston).

3. Screw the assembly until it is snug, and then stop.

4. Open the 11mm bleed valve on the caliper (I hooked up the bleeder to capture the brake fluid that will otherwise get all over). Also, open the top to the brake reservoir (make sure the reservoir is full).

5. Now you should be very easily able to screw the tool that opens (screws in) the caliper piston. Screw it all the way in; you will need all of the room to get the new pads in.

6. Tighten the bleed screw, remove the bleed kit.

7. Put the new pads on the car, guide the sensor wire thru the opening on the back (relative to car) of the caliper (note, there is a small flexible cover that you can either take off or flex open to get the wire thru). Put the caliper in place over the new pads and line up the holes on the caliper with the holes on the wheel assembly. Make sure you put the sensor wire bracket back on before you put the 13mm bolt back in the top hole.

8. Insert and tighten the bolts. Make sure the bleed valve is tight. Put the cover back on the reservoir.

9. Put the wheel back on and tighten the lugs.

10. Repeat on the other side of the car.

Access from behind the light mounting, inside the fender, pull gently on the wiring assembly, bulb will pull out of mounting, turn bulb half turn, look at bulb filament for broken wire. If broken, replace with identical bulb, then replace in mounting. If bulb is NOT broken, check fuse panel for that curcuit, and replace fuse, if burned out.

Change the transmission oil in 2007 passat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

VW recommends you NEVER change the tranny fluid. Most mechanics disagree, if you are going to keep the car beyond 100k, you should change the oil every 60k or less. I don't know the details, but you must use the tranny fluid recommended by VW. No other. You have to drop the tranny pan and let all the oil drain out. Replace the filter. Replace the pan. Add fluid. Do NOT use the "flush" method promoted by many shops. It can damage the tranny.
