Part: Tail light bulb

To be able to replace the rear light bulb on the Volkswagen Golf, you need to open the tailgate, so that you have access to the components located inside the luggage compartment: here you will need to detach the side carpet in correspondence with the lighthouse that contains the bulb to be replaced . A knob can be identified under the carpet, which must be loosened manually, in order to extract the light from inside its seat: once the light has been removed, the bulb present inside can be removed, replacing it with a new spare part.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
