Oooh, good question :) If your '81 has 6-point socket screws, the torque spec is 50Nm (37 lb/ft), then another sequence of 70Nm (52 lb/ft), and finish up with another sequence of 90Nm (66 lb/ft). If your '81 uses 12-point socket screws, the torque spec is 40Nm (30 lb/ft), followed by another sequence of 60Nm (44 lb/ft), and then torque each screw an additional half turn with a breaker bar (NOT the torque wrench!). Additionally, here's the torque sequence if you were looking at the motor: (10) (4) (2) (6) (8) (7) (5) (1) (3) (9) Good luck! And, get the proper gasket :)

The air filter is located beneath the fuel distributor, behind the battery. There's four clips around the air box that you need to pop off. Once this is done, you should be able to open the air box with the fuel distributor, fuel lines, etc. still attached and pull the filter out. Honestly, this is 100% easier if you just move the battery out of the way first, but it's not necessary.

The windshield wiper fuse is located in cabin fuse box in slot 16. To find the cabin fuse box remove plastic panel on the underside of the dashboard.

You DON'T. This is something you take to a VW mechanic, like a dealership. Unless you want to spend $5000. for the tool that senses fuel injection pulses (and you set it to a hair of being right on). Me, I find it more economical for them to do it right, then for me to mess it up. It is not something you can hear with the ear.

Nope, all vw trucks 80-84 are front wheel drive.

To replace the air filter on a 2007 VW Rabbit, you need to remove the screws holding the air duct, then gently push each end of the plastic engine cover and pull it off, rotating the unit to the side before removing several more screws to gain access to the filter. If you want to know where the filter is, there is a diagram in the engine compartment.

An oil change for a 2008 VW Rabbit can be accomplished at home to save money and time. Drive the car upon ramps, locate the oil tank, place the oil pan underneath the spigot and unscrew the cap to drain. Locate the oil filter and using the appropriate wrench, remove. Take the new filter, place a bit of oil on the O-ring and screw new filter in. Add new oil and drive away.

The original carburettor in the golf and scirocco was a pierburg. It was a complex and very well engineered device. When it worked it was very efficient and effective but sadly when it didn't, it was very inefficient. Because it was complex and difficult to maintain without special knowledge, most people opted for the webber conversion. The webber is not as efficient but it is simpler and easier to maintain. It will not give you more HP and it will burn more fuel than a well run pierburg but it is a lot more reliable if you don't know how to keep a pierburg.
