Golf IV / Jetta IV :: How To Remove Brake Booster
How do you remove the brake booster rod from the brake pedal? The damn rod won't separate from that plastic housing. I've tried wedging a flathead in there but it's hard to see. I've been fighting with it all evening and finally gave up before I end up breaking it.
Found a DIY that just cut the rod to pull the brake pedal to remove it. I rather not do that as I will be reusing the one I have.

Golf/GTI VI :: How To Remove Park Light Bulbs
Want to replace my park light bulbs (the wedge bulbs housed in the high beam lens) with leds but unsure how to get these things out? They have a black plastic tab on the back of the bulb fitting which I assume is to aid removal but do you need to twist then pull or just pull straight out? They look rather flimsy so don't want risk breakage ...

Lexus IS 2014+ :: How To Remove Brake Caliper
I've searched, but nothing came up. I want to remove the brake calipers (unbolt from the rotors) for cleaning and painting. I need confirmation that the fronts are just two 17mm bolts on the back of the caliper that is holding it? I tried earlier but it was right after a drive so car was hot and the bolts seemed like they were secured on tightly. I will try again this weekend. Btw. I have a 350 f sport

I'm having a hard time trying to remove one of my rear brake rotors.
I thought these simply pull straight out and off, but mine might be rusted in place. I soaked the front facing area around the axle with Kroil and then tried jolting it out by tapping it with a rubber mallet. No success
What's the trick?

Golf V R32 :: Low Brake Pad Warning Light Come On
Yesterday while doing a test run on my car, I had the "low brake pad" warning light come on in my car. I pulled the front wheels off to have a look and the pads looked fine. I followed the sensor cable to see if there was a short/open in it and I found on the vehicle-side of the wire harness that one of the wires came loose and detached from the harness. (that isn't a phenomenal description, but I hope you at least understand) Needless to say, I think I need to replace the wire harness. Is there a part number for JUST the plug, or am I looking at a whole assembly? With the searching I did, the only info I found was to short the circuit by cutting and splicing, but I would much rather fix it the right way.
View 5 RepliesGolf/GTI VI :: Parking Brake Light Came On And Won't Go Off
Tonight while driving along at about 30-35mph, smooth road, contant speed, straight, etc. I heard a continuous ding, saw a red light come on, and saw the MFD light up "release parking brake."
I checked and the brake was released as I thought.
I pulled over, set and released the brake a few times, shut the car off and restarted it.
The BRAKE light remains on the whole time though and I can not get it to turn off.
That isn't the bad part though, once you are under way the chime continuously dings until you stop again.
The brake is not set and is not dragging, I coasted in neutral and there was no noticeable deceleration. Also once I got home which was about a 45minute drive (a lot of fun with the chime sounding the whole time) I put my hand by the rear wheels and neither of them had much heat coming from them.
It obviously is an electrical glitch of some sort. Where is the parking brake sensor? is it inside the cabin or outside under the rear end somewhere? is there a fuse I can yank to get this to stop until I can bring it in to the dreaded dealership?

View 21 RepliesGolf IV R32 :: Brake Warning Light Blinking
I would like to know if its ok for me to top up the brake fluid on my r32.
Ok, my brake warning light is blinking, I've researched and found that either I need to top up the brake fluid or fluid level is low due to brake pad wear.
My car has 56k miles and by just looking at the pad I think it has plenty of life, maybe half worn.
So, should I just top up the fluid or do I need to just change the pad? Someone told me if I top up the fluid and change pad later fluid will over flow..
Golf/GTI VI :: Parking Brake Light Won't Turn Off
I was down at H20i this past weekend and had my window cracked and a truck splashed water into my car all over my dash. Then all my lights started flickering. So I let it air out for about 2hrs and cleaned it all up and the problem went away expect the parking brake light flickered for a bit then just stayed on and kept binging at me and says to release the parking brake. So when I got home I let it air out all night and let my windows down and put my car in the sun all day today. Parking brake light is still on.
