VW Rabbit

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.

The 2009 VW Rabbit with a 2.5-liter engine typically requires approximately 5.8 quarts of oil when including the oil filter change. It's important to check the owner's manual for the exact specifications, as variations may exist depending on the specific model and any modifications. Always ensure to use the recommended oil type for optimal performance.

You can find ready-made front seat covers for an 84 VW Rabbit convertible at automotive specialty shops, both online and in-store. Websites like Amazon, eBay, and dedicated auto parts retailers like AutoZone or CarCover can offer a variety of options. Additionally, check classic car parts suppliers or forums, as they often carry specific items for vintage vehicles. Custom upholstery shops are also an option if you’re looking for a more tailored fit.

Yes, a bad Engine Electronic Distribution (EED) relay can prevent your car from starting. The EED relay is responsible for controlling the power supply to various engine components, and if it malfunctions, it may not provide the necessary power for the ignition system or fuel pump. As a result, the engine may fail to start or could experience intermittent starting issues. It's important to diagnose and replace a faulty relay to ensure proper engine operation.

if auto related it stands for top dead center and refers to the position of the crank in relation to the positon of the number one cylinder.

4 quarts of 20W-50 oil. In colder environments (whenever the temperature is below about 15 degrees Fahrenheit), run the same amount of 15W-40.

A bad freeze plug will leak coolant and cause the engine to overheat.

You are bugging them. Either you have hurt them by dropping them and they don't want you to pick them up again or they have learned that if they bite and scratch you will leave them alone. A rabbit that bites is not a very desirable pet.

Look underneath the steering wheel column, and towards the hood release latch there is the OBD2 Connector.

If you think it is, it is. Shell is one of the companies that makes the "Top Tier" gas Volkswagen likes you to use, so it's a quality fuel...but it's probably no better or worse than the other Top Tier fuels. Check http://www.toptiergas.com for a list of companies that sell this gas.
