SOURCE: how do you replace rear rotors and brake pads on 2006 Jetta

There is a special tool you need to do this. It is virtually impossible to do without this tool. I got mine from Harbor Freight for $20. the kit comes in an small orange case and has multiple heads and it pushes and turns at the same time. Do not use a C-clamp, it will damage the piston. This tool still does use some manual labor, but it is worth it when you save a few hundred dollars doing it yourself!

SOURCE: best way to access AC compressor on 2006 Jetta to

e61f732.jpg
1. Make sure the vehicle is off with key removed.
2. You need to evacuate the refrigerant with a refrigerant recovery system.
3. Remove the ribbed belt.
4. Remove the noise insulation beneath the engine.
5. Remove the bolts (1) from A/C compressor and disconnect refrigerant lines.
6. Remove hex screws (2) and remove the compressor.

Reinstall in reverse order making sure the bushings (3) are seated. Make sure your new compressor is filled with regrigerant oil prior to install and you do not start the car prior to filling it back up with regrigerant. Turn the ribbed belt pulley of A/C compressor 10 rotations by hand before starting the engine.

Where is transmisson dip stick on 2006 jetta

You can consult your Owner's Manual regarding the transmission dipstick, but don't be surprised to learn that VW has been using sealed transmissions for a number of years. I owned a '98 VX Beetle and they were using sealed transmissions way back then (and probably some years before that). Mercedes has also utilized sealed transmissions in their cars and SUVs - so it just might be a German-thing. You may be looking for a way to verify that your transmission isn't leaking, and that's a difficult task given the circunstances. Fluids on the drive are either windshield washer fluid (which readily evaporates), brake fluid (which also evaporated over a day or so, depending on volume lost), oil (which sticks around for a long time), and transmission fluid (which is mid-way between brake fluid and oil but generally reddish in color).

There is a way to access the transmission, but I do not advise attempting that since it might be a whole lot easier to gain access, but extremely difficult and expensive to re-seal thye transmission once it is opened (about a $600 - $750 job at best).

Yes, you will need to put it in the reservoir for brake fluid, it will look something like this.

Make sure you use the correct type of brake fluid as listed in your owners manual. (Probably DOT3)

I am getting a flashing code that says Low ASH what is that?

Hi, that means that the windshield washer fluid is low, just add fluid to the reservoir, cycle the ignition off, then back on and it will reset the VIC.

2001 bmw 740il where do i add power steering fluid

I have not seen this particular model but the reservoir should be toward the front of the engine compartment on the (US) driver side, It has a big black plastic cap about 2.5" in diameter with indentations around the perimeter to grip. On some models they had to tuck it down where you have to reach down between other components to get to it, but on a 7 I would expect it to be up high and easily accessible.
This model came with two styles of reservoir. The standard reservoir is about quart-sized. If the car has self-leveling suspension, the reservoir is taller.
If you intend to own the car a long time, I suggest changing the power steering fluid every 2-3 years when you change the brake fluid and the coolant. If the power steering fluid is not nice and clean and red, it needs changing.

Where do I add clutch fluid to a 1995 volkswagen Jetta glx?

There are two 5 speed manual transmissions possible in your vehicle. One of them is controlled by a cable. (there is no fluid) For the other one, you would put the fluid in the clutch reservoir which would be mounted just above the clutch master cylinder in the engine compartment. The clutch master cylinder is directly in front (on the engine side of the firewall) of the clutch pedal.

NOTE: If you are having to add fluid to a hydraulic clutch, you have a leak in the system that needs to be fixed. You should never have to add fluid to the clutch reservoir.

Where do i put clutch fluid?

This is for a 328, but should be the same for a 325.

Location 1 is where you add the clutch fluid. The brake fluid reservoir for both the brake master cylinder and clutch master cylinder. There is a line from the brake reservoir to the clutch master cylinder.

Also, read you owners manual. It should show the same ocation pictorially.

Perhaps I should have inquired "Where" do I add brake fluid

The brake reservoir is on the firewall on the right side (pretty much in line with the steering wheel). You'll see some oddly bent metal tubes coming off of it.

Adding brake fluid is not recommended. It's a closed system, so any fluid loss means there's a problem with your brakes somewhere - if you've recently had brake work done, bring it back because there's air in the lines. If not, you may have a leak in one of the lines that needs to be addressed before it gets any worse.
