How do you remove the radio on 2003 vw beetle?

Asked by Wiki User

I had the same problem when I installed a new after market SONY CD/radio. If yours is the New Beetle check the 25 AMP fuse in the fuse box on the drivers side where the door connects to the dash. It is fuse # 42 (or the only 25Amp fuse on the 3rd row up from the bottom. You can get a pack of 5 of this fuses at the auto parts store (ex Advanced Auto) If the 25 Amp is okay, check the 10 Amp #37 on the bottom row.

The thermostat on all water-cooled cars is in the same place: inside the fitting where the upper radiator hose connects to the engine.

What would cause your driver side window to go about 34 way up and then stop you have to pull it the rest of the way on my 99 beetle I have power windows?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If it isn't sitting just right in the guide rails then the friction will be stronger than the motor, which will cause the window to stop. When you're pulling you're helping the motor along so that the window continues all the way up. You can try spraying the guide rails with teflon- or silicone spray, but eventually you'll have to have the window realigned.

It is directly under the hand brake lever, attached to the metal bracket. Carefully removing the rubber or plastic cover will reveal it and the little wire going towards the dashboard.

How do you get air out of the cooling system on 98 VW Beetle?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You shouldn't have to worry about it. With the engine still cold, just let it idle in the drive way with the expansion tank cap off. Eventually, the car will cycle the coolant and the air will exchange places with whatever coolant is in the expansion tank. Then top off the expansion tank, let it idle a little longer and see if the level gets any lower.

How do you change brake light on VW Caddy 55 plate?

Pull off vertical trim on inside edge of light unit to uncover 2 retaining screws for assembly...undo screws & remove light unit.

It can feel quite tight as though it won't come off...... but it will come off with gentle persuasion.

When you first look at trim it looks like part of light unit but it is definetly removable.

when you undo the 2 large screws you then have to slide the light out as it's on a small runner. i.e undo the screws then slide the whole light out the side of the vehicle....don't pull it towards the back or you will break the plastic runner.

Then you just undo the back two small screws on the back of the console and change the bulb.

Takes 5 minutes tops when you have done it once or twice....Good luck!!

Where is your antifreeze going if its not leaking?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Check to see if it is mixing with engine oil

Run engine to normal operating temperature and remove oil dipstick, let a drop fall on hot part of engine - oil will smoke coolant will "sizzle"

If so could be a sign of a bad head gasket

It's not going anywhere in a Type 1 Beetle because we never used antifreeze in aircooled engines.

In a New Beetle, it could be going one of three places. In ascending order of dread:

You could have a leak you don't know about. Do you smell antifreeze inside the car? Heater cores do spring leaks occasionally. (Changing one is an awful job. Hope it's not that.) Heater hoses leak. Little pinholes you can't even see will cause leaks you can't find.

You could have a bad head gasket.

Or you could have a cracked block.

That would require some serious machining. Far easier simply to get an alternator to install instead.
