You need to remove the radio back up fuse for at least 2 minutes (yeah, I know they say 30 seconds, but it hasn't always worked for me), then reinstall the fuse. It should show 1000 or something similiar on the digital display. You need to have the 4 digit code to unlock the radio and depress a couple of buttons after entering the code.

Remember that you push the radio pre-set station buttons to enter the code; button 1 for the first digit, button 2 for the second digit and so on. You will then need to push another button on your radio to enter the code. The button that you need to push will depend on which type radio you have.

If you don't have the radio code, look on the trunk floor to see if the radio serial number or code for the radio is there. If the PDI was done correctly and the radio wasn't replaced, then there should be a sticker on the trunk floor area with the serial number of the radio and/or the code. If it isn't there, then the radio needs to be removed from the vehicle to see the code that is stamped into the metal body of the radio. This plus the VIN number are input into the VW information system (done at the dealership only) to obtain the radio code.

The instructions for inputing the code should be in the owners manual or radio suppliment as supplied by VW, when the vehicle was sold new. If you have the code but aren't sure about how to input the code, see the local dealership, they can do it on the driveway in a manner of a few moments.

If the radio requires to be pulled to obtain the code, expect to pay between .5 to 1.0 of labour at the dealership's posted labour rate to obtain the code and input it into the radio to make it function. At the VW dealership I was last at, we used to do it for free until we ended up doing something 10 or more of these a day, because everyone else was charging upto $120! to unlock and programme the radio!

The link has a sample procedure and pictures, it could be a great help in performing this task.

The filter is located under the passenger side of the dash and is moderately difficult to access and change.

To remove the passenger side section of the dash it's first necessary to remove the raised center section, which requires sliding it towards the windshield. I did this by positioning the corner of one end of a small block of wood in the gap and gently tapping the other end with a hammer. Once loose it can be slid forward and lifted out of the way.

Next remove the torx screws and funny washers nearest the windshield. The passenger side dash can then be detached by slowly lifting the left side of it straight up and then sliding it to the left. After disconnecting the speaker lead this section of the dash can be moved out of the way.

Still another layer of plastic to take out: remove the 5 torx screws (2 forward, 3 aft) and jiggle the plate loose to expose the filter assembly.

To get the filter out push the tabs of the frame slightly forward, lift the frame up, and pull it towards you. With some jiggling the frame the filter will come out.

A couple of notes about installing the new filter: the arrows on the filter that indicate air flow should be pointing down when installed; the left and right sides of the frame extend down into the first and last pleats of the filter for proper positioning; the filter should be in the frame before placing it in the dash; it can take some finesse to properly position the filter and snap the frame in place.

Here you go Linda :)

Was trying to search online for a users manual for your car sometimes they are on the web or manufacturers site as a pdf.

I couldn't find one but it should be in the users manual or if you want to buy a sevice manual like a chilton you can find those on-line. But if you contact a local dealer they maybe abile to email you a pdf of the users manual or send you one if you do not have one but you should have one in the glove compartment, the fuse mapping should be in there

there's a chemical reaction occuring within the battery when the cathode (+ side) and anode (- side) are connected. The cathode draws the electrons created from the reaction toward it and away from the anode. Eventually this chemical reaction weakens because the compounds necassary for it to occur are converted into something else.

For example, in a lead acid (lead and sulfuric acid) battery, lead (Pb) is converted to PbSO4 and one electron by the reaction between the 2. Eventually all of the lead is converted to PbSO4 which can't create electrons on it's own

Lower left side just behind the headl ight when you facing the engine.

ck coolant pump, if no flow to radaitor fans willnot turn on,(is upper and lower hoses hot?) also thernostat may be stuck closed, ck for flow to coolant bottle small hose, if no flow pump impeller may be broken

If all is moving well through the cooling system don't forget to check the relay system. Germans love their extra non esential parts. A new relay is about 24.00 to replace but due to the inline routing system they have, it's about 140.00 to diagnose. It going to be in a rather large black box under your hood.

Is your headlight bulb an HID or not?

If you headlight bulb is HID

The HID system operates on high voltage. You should turn the headlights on briefly after disconnecting the negative battery cable to discharge voltage. Internal pressure of glass bulb may exceed 10 bar. Always wear safety glasses when handling HID bulbs.

Removal

You should remove the headlight assembly. And then remove the screw and clip and then remove the cap from the back of the headlight assembly. Turn the connector 90° counterclockwise and pull it off. For the low beam, turn the gas discharge bulb retainer to the left and remove the bulb. Turn the lever to the left to remove the high beam bulb.

Installation

You should install the new bulb in the housing. For the low beam, make sure the bulb mounting aligns with the lugs in the housing. Turn the lever to the right to install the high beam.

And then install the retaining ring and turn it clockwise. Reconnect the electrical connector to the bulb. Install the cap on the headlight assembly. And then install the headlight assembly in the vehicle. Reconnect the negative battery cable.

But if your bulb isn’t HID try this procedure

Removal
You should remove the headlight assembly. And then remove cover on rear of headlight insert. Detach the electrical connector from the bulb. Remove the spring clip and remove the bulb from the headlight housing.

Installation

Bear in mind not touch the glass portion of the new bulb with bare hands.
Carefully insert the bulb in the housing and then secure the bulb with spring clip. Reconnect the electrical connector to the bulb. Install the protective cover on the headlight assembly. Install the headlight assembly.

Hi there.Remove cover and check that the bulb fits tightly in the socket

those marks on the damper and the block not only align at tdc on the conpression stroke, they also align on the exhaust stroke!!! so, yes it can be 180 degrees out of time

Try to check the condition of your driver side splash shield or fender liner.

Try to turn your steering wheel back and forth because it is possible that your steering wheel lock is applying pressure and not allowing your key to turn. Worn out key and/or out of adjustment /broken steering wheel locks can also it.

you have to remove the inner trim panel on the hatch to get the screws out on the back side of the light bar
