To remove the B pillar, use a flathead screwdriver, or trim removal tool, to remove the AIRBAG logo from the B pillar. Behind the airbag logo are T25 screws. Remove them, and be careful not to drop them into the pillar. If you drop them, pour some liquor out, because those homies are gone.
Unclip the pillar to allow access to the side airbag, then remove it. Refit all in reverse order.

one most cars, if you look at the engine from where the belts are (that is consindered the front of the engine for your purpose) the #1 cylinder is to the right and next to you.

Find the relay/s under the hood. If you have more that one check the one that is the warmest. replace it.

I am not sure but most of vw car temp sensors sit on the water pypes at the left side of gearbox(gearbox side) so just follow ure water pypes u will find it there.hope it helps

the notorious vw brake light switch!!! what color is your switch, black? purple? green? and are you installing it correctly? you should have the green one for i think it is the latest and greatest revised switch. super easy to do... T20 torx bit to remove panel remove plug from brake switch, turn CCW to remove, take new switch, and W/O pushing the pedal(IMPORTANT!!!) insert new switch and give it a click CW to seat it in place! reinstall connector and panel. let me know if that helps!

the parts guy at a volkswagen dealer comes to mind, but that is just me.

If the Quantum engine is the 1.7l (4 cylinder) engine, it should fit. The main difference will be that the engine in the Quantum is mounted "front-to-back" while the GTI will have the motor mounted "side-to-side". All of the accessories, the intake system, exhaust system and other items will have to be retained from the GTI motor.
Personally, I would think that this would be a lot more work and have a much greater chance for issues than a more simple swap with a standard VW engine.

This also happened on my car. one of the arms that pushed up the window became disconnected over time. I removed the door panel and re attached the clips that held the arm in place.
Hope this helps.

No its not normal, youll need to check for coolant and if it has a resovoir make sure its not low.VW on the waterpump uses a plastic propellor and it tend to slip of and not propell the cooling fluid as it is supposed to, you are at the beggining of a internal waterpump failure,watch your temperature carefully and get the water pump replaced soon

most likely your coolant temp sendor is faulty.replace sendor and check if problem is still there

CHECK YOUR ANTI THEFT LIGHT IS GOING OFF/IF STAYING ON CAR WILL NOT START

the lose of pressure is causing the overheating, VW and most other German cars, require that the cooling system be sealed to hold the pressure in order to maintain the right temperature. The leak in what I am guessing is the water pump is causing the system to lose pressure therefore it is going to gain heat. In other words repair the leak and you will fix the overheating issue.
