How do you remove a window winder from a polo?

Do you need a special tool to change the hub assemblies on a 95 Saturn SL2?

Is this the front assembly or the rear? I can't say for sure on the rear, but on the front, you will need a very large socket for the nut at the outside of the hub assembly. I don't recall for sure, but I think it's like 30mm. Check before you buy a socket for it, as they are expensive. Also, you may want to have a pickle fork to break the ball joints loose up front. Aside from the large nut at the outside of the hub assembly, the largest wrench you will need is 19mm. If you can find a Chiltons manual for a Saturn SL, it will walk you through the entire process of removal and re-assembly.

Found this link to change a Saturn S-Series front hub. It worked perfectly as all the pictures were extremely helpful. I actually pressed new bearings into to the existing hubs which is not recommended by Saturn but worked out OK for me.

How do you change the battery on a BMW r1150r motorcycle?

The procedure is described in some detail in the small Service and Technical booklet (companion to Owners's Manual) which you should have with your bike. It is quite tedious but not beyond your average biker with basic tools. The advice to check the electrolyte level every 3 months is all very well but its difficult to see and needs almost the full procedure to top up anyway.

Why would a 1996 Ponitac Sunfire 22 engine have no compression?

well maybe you blew the timing belt or the piston or bent the valves Could be you have a badly cracked head or a failed head gasket that is leaking. Or if the car has a zillion miles on her, the pistion rings could be shot. Yeah, you don't really care why; fact is you're looking for a new engine anyway, sorry to say Phil

How do you remove the truck mounted CD changer in a 1992 ES 300?

the CD shuttle is located on the left side of the trunk floor, its covered with a protective shell that is attached with velcro type pads. remove the cover and you`ll see two electrical plugs on the shuttle, unplug them.. you will then see two 12 mm socket size bolts , one at the front and one at the rear.. remove them. Now if you lift the trunk interior trim that is covering the left portion of the trunk inner side, you will see a nutted stud, use a 10 mm size socket to remove this nut, push the changer to the left and then when the stud disengages from the inner brace, pull the unit straight back... and there ya go.

How do you fix a squeaky odometer in your 1996 Geo Tracker?

Unfortunately... you may have to either find another from a junkyard, if they will sell it. Or have the dealership replace it. I have had mine buzz for 2 years now, being too lazy to take care of it. Last month I had the spedometer spin like a propeller and take out the gas gage. Today, the odometer stopped working. Takeing off the panels and removing the instrument panel is easy. Getting the Spedometer cable reattached is difficult. Probably have to remove most of the dash just to get my hands in there.. I've had the problem and it's especially when it's cold. I removed the instrument panel and the harness, removing the speedo cable isn't easy but if you remove the cable from underneath first, you'll be able to have enough to get ample cable up from the back, of course the grommet will proably come out from the firewall but that goes in easily especially if you spray it with PAM. After I had the instrument panel off, I lubed the inside of the cable connection on the back of the speedo and put everything back together. I used a lightweight grease that will stand up under use and heat. My speedo is now quiet. You need to be real careful when removing the cable as you can break the plastic end if you're not careful then you ned a new cable. OEM is about $100. but I've also seen aftermarket for about $20. Just have a warm day and if you haven't taken the panel off before, I heartily suggest a book and at the least patience. You can get scraped hands doing this but it's worth it. Take care and good luck. Steve H. If your not in the mood to do all that,,, who would be,,, simply remove the front left speaker, reach your hand down inside, feel the cable, about 6 inches down, round and firm, move it up or down, then drive it and see, I did it like he did, the hard way, and it didnt do anything, a few days later I remembered it was pretty close to the speaker, and decided to try again before it drove me nuts, pulled of the speaker, pushed down hard on the cable until it felt like it caught and stayed put, got in, drove, and a year later it's running fine

Reverse lights on a 98 KIA Sportage manual transmission does not come on when put into reverse What would you check?

Sounds as though it could be a few areas to look at, 1. check that it is not the bulbs, (access through rear plastic compartments inside car). 2. check that the fuse for reverse tail lights is not blown (front fuse panel next to accelerator pedal)and 3. try to remove the cover plate or sleeve around gear stick as there is a small switch that activates lights when put into reverse (may have dislogded the wiring). Hope this helps.

Your '02 Passat deck lid won't latch you shut it and it does not grab the warning light informs you your baggage compartment is open but no matter how firmly you close the lid it doesn't latch?

Congratulations - you have a short in the electronic locking mechanism. Probably also causing your interior lights to stay on and problems with the alarm? Good luck - my VW dealer in Richmond, VA took three tries to get this repair right, but then again they are morons.

AnswerI just received a new latch and am going to see if that fixes things. My alarm doesn't give the 'armed' sound if the deck isnt' latched but my interior lights are not stuck on (at least). AnswerHey, let me in on this one! I have an 2001.5 GLX with the same issue. I am starting to hear that beep in my dreams now! Add in the fog lights that decided to stop working, the high price of gas and now the trunk! But I still love it regardless, so has anyone had any luck with fixing this? Thanks! AnswerHi. I had this thing driving me insane as well. I found on mine that it was the rear load cover that was not allowing the door to shut and grab the second stage of the locking catch. With the load cover still in place, but turning the handle-flap down towards the floor, it now shuts properly (with a nice clunk sound) and the alarm doesn't go off at all. Hope this helps... AnswerHere's how I fixed mine:
  1. You need to remove the carpet liner of the trunk. The carpet and the hard black plastic strip on the front edge are actually all one piece.
    • First remove the two screws that are "hidden" inside an indentation on the inner part of the trunk, just behind the two rubber bumpers (you do not need to remove the rubber bumpers!). These take a "star" screwdriver bit.
    • Pry the carpet and black plastic away from the trunk lid. It takes a bit of work, but eventually the whole thing will just pop off (No screws on this 2002 Passat, vs. other VW models).
  2. Remove the latch mechanism using a 10mm wrench.
  3. Carefully pop out the wire connecting the soleniod to the latch
  4. Remove the black plastic cover from around the latch by popping it off of the two pins on the bottom; it then "unwraps" from the latch mechanism.
  5. I found that a small spring inside the mechanism had broken; using a couple of bar-b-que skewers, I replaced with a small rubber-band.
  6. Reverse the above steps to replace the black cover, the wire, the mechanism assembly and finally the carpet liner. You'll need to give the liner a pretty good whack to pop it back in.

This sounds more complicated than it really is. Toughest part was finding a small enough rubber-band :-).
