There are Ebayers selling new key fobs with uncut blades but a local VW dealer told me that I would be unable to get a key blade cut as they only come from Germany. Is this true?

Does it need re-programming and if so can this be done without going through a VW Dealership as they are a rip off? Can anyone help please?Can I change the key blade on my VW key fob to a new matching key fob from Ebay?No you can't do that as the key would have to be coded for the immobiliser in the car and that is contained in the key fob and each lock and code is different for every car that's why the dealership was charging for re-programming.

You'll need some inverted torque screwdrivers, small phillips, and what they call a "dogbone" (a firm plastic piece for popping off plastic trim and such without scratching). First pop off the mirror. This will expose the inside so you can start removing stuff. Be very careful as the mirror may break if you don't remove it right. Then remove all the screws so you can take off the plastic mirror housing. You may have to remove the interior panel to access some of the screws. Some of the VW models you need to. It's not complicated, just really time consuming. Good luck!How do I change the Indicator bulb on a wing mirror of a VW Golf 04?Hi,<br><br />it is quite a tricky repair.

The code says it is detecting insufficient flow in the secondary air system, which helps reduce tailpipe emissions.

In an era where only the most economic elite possessed cars, Hitler believed that all people should be able to own a car and additionally thought that a smart design could allow for reliability, enjoyment, and vacation travel. The name given to the car in 1938 was Kraft durch Freude (KdF-Wagen, literally "strength through joy car"). <br><br /><br><br />Hitler gave his design to the head of Daimler-Benz, Jakob Werlin, and stressed its importance. "Take it with you and speak with people who understand more about it than I do. But don't forget it. I want to hear from you soon, about the technical details."How much of a role did Hitler play in the design of the VW Beetle? <br>the car was taken from one of Porshes designs for the Tatra.<br><br />It was modified by Porsh to have no part that could not be made in a small forge.<br><br />The design was started as the peoples car by Hitler and then oked by him and put into production.How much of a role did Hitler play in the design of the VW Beetle?IT WAS SHAPED LIKE ONE OF HIS TURDS <br>Quite a bit actually. See http://rexcurry.net/bookchapter4a1a2a.ht鈥?/a> for example.<br><br /><br><br />"Adolf Hitler declared that he knew no good reason why millions of good hard-working people should not own their own cars". With Hitlers announcement, Germany began the quest to build a small car for the common people of Germany, and sixty days later, on April 27th, 1934, the first drawings were made by Dr. Ferdinand Porshe. By May of that year, Hitler had seen the drawings himself, and made suggestions for the specifications of the car. Hitler said" It should be streamlined, like a beetle". He wanted a lightweight, air-cooled, low fuel consumption automobile. He wanted these to be cheap to build. This project was titled "type 60". Eventually, in December of 1934, porshe had this car built, and it was tested. Porshe's engineers were great at chassis design. So then Dr. Porshe had a coachbuilding place contracted to build the bodies for these type60's. <br><br /><br><br />See also http://www.sahistory.org.za/pages/chrono鈥?/a>How much of a role did Hitler play in the design of the VW Beetle?you all miss the big story..hitler put in a system of payroll deduction for all workers... they paid for years but most didnt get a car because the money went to the war and VW was making staff cars and jeeps for the armyHow much of a role did Hitler play in the design of the VW Beetle? <br>He wanted a cheap car for the people of Germany. When he had the Autobahn built only the wealthy people of Germany had cars. And the road was rarely used, so he ordered for a small car to be built for less than about three hundred dollars. Then on came the Volkswagen beetle. The only thing Hitler EVER did right was creating the Autobahn and Volkswagen and I thank him for that and that alone. God Bless America and the Volkswagen. V Dub for life. Yeah <br>The VW beetle was designed by Dr. Ferdinand porsche, after being commissioned by hitler to make a car for the people. IIRC the idea that hitler himself drew it was propaganda (to make him seem even more amazing). the early 911s and 356s from porsche used some similar styling cues, so its fairly obvious Dr. porsche designed it. The flat 4 engine was also porsche's baby (as seen in the 356, 914, 912s and 911s).<br><br /><br><br />Dr. porsche also was pretty in line with the nazi party. He designed most of the german tanks which were so amazing during the war, and even several planes. <br><br /><br><br />Porsche made essentially the whole car. another of his famous cars of the time period is the Auto Union D-type racecar. super super rare and valuable.How much of a role did Hitler play in the design of the VW Beetle? <br>Ferdinand Porche had the design 10 years prior hoping to design a car for the people. In the 30's Germany was an industrial powerhouse.<br><br /> When the government that Hitler was the leader of, came into power(no different than Republicans or Democrats), Hitler also wanted to offer the people affordable mobility and he and Porche got together to make a car for the people. Hitler's govenment would be the financiers.

Carpet is glued down.?Also, how do you get thru the firewall without drilling?How do you run the speakers wires to the rear of a 1968 VW Bug. Carpet is glued down.?There are two ways<br><br /><br><br />1) Under the carpet.. Remove one of the seats and you will usually find the carpet comes up with less hassle and nothing will show after the seat is replaced. This also gives you the ability to put a speaker under the seat if you wish. The carpet is easily reglued with a can of contact cement which you can pick up in any hardware store.<br><br /><br><br />2) Over the headliner. Use a long pull wire (which electricians use to fish wires thru walls) and run a lead from the dome light down into the hood area.. then pull a wire up from that side .. <br><br /> Then do the same trick to fish a wire into the rear by the storage area. Pull up the headliner below at the bottom and fish out the wire.. then use THAT wire to pull in your speaker wires. (You can also use that same wire to put other things back there like power leads and a rear seat light if you wish).<br><br />It is handy to have help with this option.. <br><br /><br><br />easy jobs.. they just require patience ...<br><br /><br><br />.How do you run the speakers wires to the rear of a 1968 VW Bug. Carpet is glued down.?You can route wire from front to back just like VW does in the factory. <br><br />From the truck remove the dashboard cover. Locate the main wire harness,<br><br />and take notice how it is routed to the side of the dashboard. It then is routed up <br><br />through the body continuing in the tunnel that becomes the top of the door frame.<br><br />You can do the same with the passenger side door frame. It is easy. From the engine<br><br />compartment figure out how to take stiff wire and snake it through the tunnel. You will have to remove some dampening material. After the wire has been pulled, You might have to drill some holes to the spot where the speakers will be mounted.<br><br />You can't get through the firewall without drilling.How do you run the speakers wires to the rear of a 1968 VW Bug. Carpet is glued down.?find where the main harness comes through the firewall and go there/room along the extreme carpet edge at door pass side/work em down in therew hotel austinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08554021318016135707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8822907941650304443.post-11804841096357810042012-02-26T02:32:00.000-08:002012-02-26T02:32:03.857-08:00What fuse number cooresponds to the passenger side headlights of my 99 VW Passat?Both the high beam and low beam are not working and I have already tried replacing the bulbs.What fuse number cooresponds to the passenger side headlights of my 99 VW Passat?There is not a seperate fuse for passenger and drivers side headlights. Either try replacing the bulbs again or take it someplace and have your electrical system checked for a fault. When replacing the bulbs do not touch them with your fingers, the oils from your skin severly retart the life of the bulbs, wear clean cotton gloves or handle the bulbs with a clean towel. Insert them firmly, make sure they are seated then reinstall the plugs.<br><br /><br><br />Good luckWhat fuse number cooresponds to the passenger side headlights of my 99 VW Passat?the same number that runs the drivers side. call your local auto parts store. they can give you this info.w hotel austinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08554021318016135707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8822907941650304443.post-2437263683509415952012-02-26T02:31:00.008-08:002012-02-26T02:31:58.810-08:00How do I get to the brake light switch on my 2004 VW Passat?I know its located behind the pedal, but I cant find it.

What will I have to do to import it?You are aware that some dealers won't sell new vehicles to residents of another country? It violates a U.S. dealers franchise agreement to sell a new vehicle to the export markets, including Canada. It is not illegal (under criminal law) but they can face the loss of their dealership. And worse yet, some manufacturers will not give you warranty coverage on the vehicles. Chrysler and Honda, for sure, and GM won't give you any warranty for the first 6 months. You had better check with Volkswagen, because all the savings in the world don't help if you have a major engine or transmission failure.

Sell that car and find one with a 5spd and the vr6 engine.How can i make a 1995 vw jetta with automatic trans faster? <br>it's not worth it at all. first off, it's an automatic and you only have 4 gears. the automatic Jettas had very tall ratios considering they were geared to go about 120-130, and your acceleration definitely suffers because of which. when your car was stock, it only had about 100-110hp. also factor in that it's 15 years old and probably has a lot of miles, your power reading right now is definitely less than 100hp. it's just not worth it man, even if it was a 5-speed. even if you go buy an intake, header, chip, etc you're only going to be making about 120-130hp tops after spending close to $1000. that's about the same power as a stock Civic EX from the same year, and it'll still be slow as hell.How can i make a 1995 vw jetta with automatic trans faster?You can do a couple of things like free flow air filter and a larger bore exhaust system but you are governed by your transmission. As others state, the car has age and mileage on its back and you may send it to an early grave if you thrash it about. If you do want to spend a bit of time and cash put a manual box in it together with the air filter and exhaust and it will feel a good deal more lively. If you then want to go on and have the engine worked on in the shape of re-chipping etc its up to you.How can i make a 1995 vw jetta with automatic trans faster? <br>sell itHow can i make a 1995 vw jetta with automatic trans faster?work on the engine by fitting turbo + sport chip<li><a href='http://raclette-l.blogspot.com/'>raclette</a></li>w hotel austinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08554021318016135707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8822907941650304443.post-19355375343484919212012-02-26T02:31:00.005-08:002012-02-26T02:31:35.826-08:00Which 2008 VW models can come with heated seats?I have had several Generation 4 VW models, and my 2002 Jetta came with heated seats.<br><br /><br><br />Which of the current models come with heated seats also?
