Old School trick, we used chipped Soap as the medium, very little mess. This was prior to easy access pulling tools at parts store.

Thanks for answering the questions. BTY,, we have no clue how to build a PWM unit, but the Resistor Mod is doable. Care to share a SIMPLE PWM unit build link or provide details? Not versed in electronics. Was 50+ when HDTV in mid 90's :-)

Next Step: Raised front of car again and was able to get access to the 3 wire TFS. Unplugged it and jumped 12V terminal to high speed, BOTH (3 wire fan harnesses) fans came on High. Next jumped the 12v terminal to low speed circuit and Neither fan came on. 1. Next we used a fused 12v. feed...

Updated: Put the car on ramps to check and see if adequate room to disconnect the TFS of individual fans connectors. My medium size hands ( now scratched) did not fit the available openings. Maybe possible option of removing the L.F. fender liner, but unsure if this is workable ?? Would that...

2003 Beetle TDI, A/T and Man A/C. Last summer the A/C worked and cooled good. Car never had overheat light on. Cked the fuse box on battery and noticed the 40 A strip burned so replaced it. Used A/C during last summer and could hear cooling fans running and cycling. Additional research...

Verified no leaks on pump or rubber hose lines visually. Used my set of hose type clamps for rubber line and pinched off the inlet line into filter and the black rubber line return line hose behind filter prior to metal return line to tank. Allowed car to sit 48 hours, then removed the...

Thanks for replies and suggestions. COLD is not a problem here. Tn. lows have been 20 degrees and compared to some of the others, do not consider this COLD. No clear lines on Beetles unless someone adds them I understand. Regarding VCDS, no more checks sine last time I ran it. No CEL or...

Looked extensively for details but only found for later models plus the resources were sparse and missing critical details I found useful in successfully completing the Job. No reason to remove console. The details on removing the shift handle are covered well, Turn on key to RUN position, mash...

No, your reply just had a caption or thread but no suggestion or mention to read that thread. The reply was reviewed, but nothing indicated there was a reaason to read that thread. Perhaps a suggestion to "Read my thread" or mention a photo was included would have caught my attention. Thank...

Additional research and sheer luck indicates the 2 long black bolts mount on left side of pump (upper & lower) on the wire brkt. and zinc pump mount flange. The silver bolt is right hand top against pump head as is the 1 remaining mounts to the lower right hand direct to pump head. Was...

VE IP Driver side end at Brkt.

Thanks for explanation on terms. Yes, I've read many articles in this forum and others regarding the IP and repairs. There were no leaks until the fuel supplier was changed due to another driver using this car. Some forums require a certain number of posts prior to permission to post pics...
