Repair Questions and Answers
Question:
1994 Volkswagen Rabbit mileage: 136,000. I
was trying to repair the front wheel bearings on the
driver’s side and it got stuck. After I removed
the hub nut and brake calipers, I tried to remove the
rest of the hub assembly to access the bearings. I
tried using a puller to remove the assembly and all that
did was push the axle spindle (not sure of the name) off
the wheel instead of pulling off the hub assembly.
Answer: The tool
you need to remove the hub is called a “slide hammer.”
Question:
1993 Volkswagen Rabbit. I recently ran out of gas
on a hill. I put gas in and it still would not start.
Had car towed to home, tried on level ground. Did
not start. In other cars if you run out of gas,
you can prime the carburetor and it will start. My
problem is this has no carburetor. It is fuel
injected. Do you know where the fuel filter is
located so I can try replacing that? Or do you
have any suggestions? I need to get to work on
Monday. Thank you in advance if you have a reply.
Answer:
Try turning the key off and on a few times with out
cranking the engine. This should cycle the fuel
pump and get fuel up to the engine. Hopefully this
will get you to work.
Question: 1992 VW Rabbit
mileage: 152,000. This is gonna sound pretty stupid, but
I took my car apart 3 months ago to remove the
alternator. Had to get the AC out of the way first.
Okay, here's the stupid part, I can't figure out the
belt and pulley system. I've got the one (one? really?
were there two originally? dunno.) belt & it doesn't
seem to be long enough to go around the pulleys. I have
a Haynes manual, & it doesn't even help. I'm an idiot.
Help!!!
Answer: I You can download the
wiring and belt diagrams from a program called shop key.
For a small fee you can have unlimited access to all the
diagrams for your model car for a week a month or a
year. It will depend which program fits your car repair
project. The Mitchell CD ROM is a great resource too.
