Volkswagen New Beetle - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen New Beetle MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How to manually close the roof of the Volkswagen New Beetle

In this video we can see how to manually close the sunroof of the Volkswagen New Beetle: normally it is operated by two electric motors on each side; to close it manually we will need some tools that we find in the trunk, along with the spare wheel: an Allen key, a screwdriver and the handle for the top closure. The first step is to open all the windows, then we go to the corner of the hood and remove the Allen key that is there; we then insert the Allen key with the extension and open it; we do the same on the other side. Now the roof is disconnected from the motor and lifts easily: we can insert the manual handle, which we will insert under the cap located in the center of the plastic cover. We must align the holes of the handle with those of the hole and tighten with the screwdriver. The action of the handle opens and closes two forks on the sides, which will hook onto the front of the vehicle. The manual recommends doing this operation in pairs, but it can also be done alone by standing on the rear seats and holding it parallel. Then with the handle we pull it up above the windshield making sure it enters the locks, and we turn the handle to close it, and that's it.

How to open the bonnet of the Volkswagen Polo

Let's see in this short and simple guide the instructions that will allow us to open the bonnet of the Volkswagen Polo. First of all we open the front door, on the driver's side, and start pulling the opening lever of the engine hood, in order to open the lock; then let's move to the front of the vehicle and unhook the tab that we find on the central part, above the manufacturer's emblem, as shown in the video. At this point we block the bonnet with the lateral rod; then we accompany the bonnet down to close it again!
