Get a flashlight so you can see where the catch is on the door. When you locate the mechanism you should be able to release it with a small screwdriver by depressing the locking tab.

headlight control unit switch. check this. has inbuilt relays. the one you turn to turn lights on.

You need a set of "spark plug wire pliers" that grip around the boot and then remove it with a twisting and pulling motion. Worst case scenario is you ruin the wire attached to the spark plug. Then you get a new set of plug wires to install (which is usually a good idea after a few years anyway). To prevent this in the future, smear silicone grease inside the spark plug boot or on the spark plug before you push the wire back on the spark plug.

your wiring is shorting or pinched or check the connections-pull them apart and put back together to make sure of good contact-start at the speedo and follow the wire to sending unit-probably on trany or the sending unit needs replacment-cheers Denny

Hi, it has a timing belt regards

It should not be getting that hot, you are getting feedback into that Relay for some reason and you need to find out why? But first try replacing the Relay with a new one. There is a good change that the Feedback is Internal of the Relay. (VW has this problem on their 90's Models.

The fuse is in the fuse box in the car, the hand book should tell you which fuse it is. If the fuse is OK, there is a switch on the front or top of the gearbox, should have two wires going to it. Could have come unplugged, if you bridge these wires and turn the ignition on, the reverse lights should come on, if they do, it's a faulty switch.

cars have an inline filter on them whether its gas or diesel..some of these filters have a backpressure valve in them that can actually stick shut especially in cold weather..if its below 30 outside you need to add some cetane booster to the fuel.. it costs a bit but your fuel wont jell up in the lines..diesels require a bit more attention to be operated in colder weather..I had a trucks fuel system freeze solid at 3am on an overnite run in northern Illinois and it left me completely stranded in below zero tems 30 miles from the closest town..my only saving grace was my celphone..after calling my boss who showed up 12 hours later to find the truck empty and locked up..(he said to have the cops take me to a 24 hour restaunt and wait until he came to pick me up..the truck was towed to a garage and heated up to thaw those lines..we never ran it without fuel treatment after that..)

If the Anti pollution warning light is coming on the possible causes are endless. If the car is driving ok then that is a good sign, but please remember that modern management systems can mask problems quite well. The safest advice is to get it looked at and see what fault codes are appearing and then a diagnosis can begin, as leaving it is not going to be a good thing, it can go from a minor problem to more serious issues. At least the light is not flashing, which usually means an emission compliance problem and even more serious, but even so I would advise protecting your vehicle by getting it checked out as soon as possible to avoid potential damage.
----------
A fault in the ignition can cause an engine misfire and unburnt fuel gets into the exhaust causing the anti-pollution light to be triggered.

Check the ignition system for signs of damp or loose connections.------- I suggest get the car scanned at autozone service center.Its absolutely free to get car scanned.This will show the problem if you receive the error code.-------- Thanks.Helpmech.
