Headlight bulb replacement

Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 5, A5 - Years 2005-2010
Part: Light bulb

The replacement of the bulb can be carried out without having to disassemble the headlight as there is enough space to access the bulb holder. Once the front hood has been opened, unhook the cap of the bulb holder by turning it anti-clockwise; then unhook the bulb holder (bayonet coupling), extract the old bulb and insert the new one, avoiding touching the bulb with your fingers. Reposition the lamp holder with the new bulb in its seat in the headlight and apply the cap. If you notice a large difference in light intensity between the new bulb and the corresponding one of the other headlight, it is advisable to replace this too.

How to deactivate the safe lock on a Volkswagen Golf.

The safe lock is indeed an anti-theft system that prevents thieves from accessing the car. This device locks the doors, both externally and internally, when the driver activates the central locking remote control after leaving the vehicle. To permanently disable it, it is necessary to use a diagnostic program such as VCDS that we will connect to the vehicle through the ODBII port. Then wait for the connection and recognition of the control unit and then select the blocks present and locate the safe lock to disable it. And the job will be completed.
