Volkswagen Jetta - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Jetta A4, MK 4 - Years 1998-2005
Part: Gearbox
Operation: Remove the gear shift knob on a Volkswagen Jetta MK4 for me.

In this video we can see how to remove the automatic gear knob on a Volkswagen Jetta MK4: first of all, we put the gear lever in neutral position. We will need not so much a screwdriver, which could scratch the lever, but a blunt tool, like the one we see in the video; we insert it between the knob and the chromed part of the gear, separating the two parts. Then we make movements to the right and to the left from the knob button in order to loosen the piece. However, we pay attention not to pull it too much because there is a spring inside that could jump out. When the button is completely out, we can pull up the knob: make sure that the gear actuator rod is in good condition. If nothing is broken, we can put the new knob in its place.

How to reset the oil service in the Fiat Toro?

In this tutorial we can see how to reset the oil service in the Fiat Toro. Before carrying out this simple and quick operation, make sure that you have completed any required maintenance work. We start by inserting the key but leaving it in the initial position, after which we keep the accelerator pedal fully depressed and at the same time turn on the instrument panel. At this point, always keeping the accelerator pressed, press the brake pedal 5 consecutive times and, with the pedals in position, turn off the ignition. We check that the procedure has been successful by starting the vehicle.
