How do i change 2003 outback low beam?

On my OBW, I find it a lot easier to remove the Headlight Housing assy(that way you get access to all the bulbs), replace the faulty bulb by a Brand X H1-12V-55W(make sure you don't touch the glass), check if it's working & re-install the housing. Bingo...

Why do people like the blow off valve noise?

It makes it obvious to others (who know cars) that the car is turbocharged. It's another "machine noise." It's like another type of "vroom vroom!" to get excited about while driving.

What is the steering plus or minus level on your 95 town car next to the steering wheel?

Are you asking about the cruise control adjustment?

The switch you are asking about changes the "feel" of the power steering. You can go from "easy to turn" to "harder to turn" the steering wheel by moving the switch. Newer model Lincolns don't have this feature any more----I liked mine.

What does the engine warning light indicate on a 2003 Passat VW?

When you say sluggish, do you mean it's not running at it's optimum or are you driving really slow? If your car is not running at it's best and it's noticable then you need to address that. The MPG warning light is just letting you know that the onboard computer is not receiving the correct information to display your correct MPG usage (might be directly related to the sluggish performance). Get the car diagnosed and I'm pretty sure you will be able to get an answer.

Are the bolts for the starter located at top or bottom on a '93 Volkswagen Passat?

How can you get under the hood of a 92 Buick Regal when the hood release cable is broken and you have tried exposing the wire with pliers but that was no good?

I had a similar problem on a 93 Regal. I took the plastic housing off where the hood release originally was and was able to get a grip on the release cable. The cable goes out of the cabin near the steering column so you might be able to back track from that point. I would spring for a new cable though as it is a real pain opening the hood with the pliers. I taped the new cable to the old one and snaked thru the engine compartment pretty easily. Good luck.

How can you tell if the oil pump is working properly if the oil pressure warning light flashes and than goes off in 2000 VW Paasat?

Oil is the life-blood of the engine. An engine running without oil will last about as long as a human without blood. Oil is pumped under pressure to all the moving parts of the engine by an oil pump. The oil pump is mounted at the bottom of the engine in the oil pan and is connected by a gear to either the crankshaft or the camshaft. This way, when the engine is turning, the oil pump is pumping. There is an oil pressure sensor near the oil pump that monitors pressure and sends this information to a warning light or a gauge on the dashboard. When you turn the ignition key on, but before you start the car, the oil light should light, indicating that there is no oil pressure yet, but also letting you know that the warning system is working. As soon as you start cranking the engine to start it, the light should go out indicating that there is oil pressure. It is NORMAL for the Oil Pressure warning light to flash and then go off. If it stays on then you should be worried. Good Luck and Remember.

I have a 53 vectra 2.0 sxi and the windscreen washer has stopped working the motor sounds ok and bottle is full but no water can you help?

Sounds like the filter is blocked for the washer bottle. Remove the NSF inner wheel arch cover, pull out the pump from the reservoir and clean the filter.

How do you change the oil pump on a 92 Acura Vigor?

Don't assume that low oil pressure is caused by a failed oil pump. It's usually worn bearings requiring a complete engine rebuild. It would be unfortunate to go to all of that trouble and find that it didn't really solve anything. Before you replace the oil pump, disassemble the old one and check for excessive wear on the gear surfaces.

Does anyone have the fuse box schematics for a 93 Chevy Beretta with a missing fuse box cover?

Autozone.com has a fuseblock diagram. Our '93 Beretta is not here for me to go put the fuse block cover on the scanner (fuel delivery problem....), but go look that up. Fuses is called "circuit protection" after you get through all the narrowing it down to 1993 Chevy Beretta Chassis Electrical....

Why would all the oil leak out of a 2003 vw passat?

Three possible reasons

# Oil Filter loose. # Drain Plug fell out # Hole in Oil Pan If non of the above then the engine consumed the oil, and you just drove it till it was all gone, without ever checking it.

Your Oil levels should be checked at least once a week to make sure there is enough in the engine.

Hope This Helps.
