2. Jack the car up and place it on axle stands.
3. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
4. Remove the cap from the top of the radiator.
5. Place the drain pan underneath the blue plastic drain plug, found at the bottom of the radiator. Remove the plug with a wrench or spanner.
6. Drain the fluid until it stops. If it contains any debris or metal flakes, you will need a professional to inspect your radiator.
7. Drain the coolant into a bottle, seal it, and dispose of it at an appropriate recycling facility.
8. Inspect the radiator cap for dry rot or wear and tear. Replace it with a new cap if necessary.
9. Flush cold water through the radiator.
10. Fill the radiator with water to help remove the remaining antifreeze.
11. Replace the radiator cap and turn on the engine for five minutes.
12. Turn off the engine and allow it to cool.
13. Repeat steps 3 to 6 until the water is clear.
14. Pour the flushing agent into your radiator. Repeat steps 11 and 12, and then drain the flushing agent.
15. Replace the plug once all of the coolant is emptied out of the radiator. Tighten to 2 to 3 Nm (18 to 27 inch pounds).
16. Remove the small plastic bleed screw to the right of the radiator cap. Using a large funnel in the expansion tank, slowly fill the car with new liquid--50 percent coolant, 50 percent distilled water. Restart the car engine for five minutes to open the thermostat.
17. Add more antifreeze or coolant until the radiator is full. Screw the cap back on the radiator.
18. Bleed the air out of the expansion tank on the side of the radiator. Otherwise you will have a separate, external expansion tank which is self-bleeding. With the bleed screw removed, fill the expansion tank until fluid begins coming out of the bleed screw.
19. Run the engine until it reaches its operating temperature. Turn off the engine and let it cool down. Top up the coolant in the expansion tank to the appropriate level, if necessary.

1. Remove the stock turbo-to-intercooler pressure tube by loosening the clamps that secure it to the silicone rubber connector on top of the engine. Slide the tube out of the connector and lay it off to one side so that you have easier access to the stock N75.
2. Identify the N75. The valve has a three-way fitting on the bottom, which has a 90-degree rubber elbow and corrugated vacuum line connected to one side and an angled, molded-rubber line secured with a hose clamp on the other. The corrugated line is clamped to the plastic intake tube just before the flex portion. Turn the N75 to expose the round top and the wiring harness attached there. Unplug the harness.
3. Grasp and remove the hose clamp on the bottom of the N75 where the short section of tube connects to the intake. Pull on the valve to release it. Cut the non-reusable hose clamps off the other two rubber lines using either a pair of wire cutters or a hobby-style rotary tool. Be careful not to nick the hoses.
4. Install the new N75J J valve in the exact orientation as the old N75, with the longer of the two side-facing fittings facing toward the intake tube. Use new hose clamps to replace the non-reusable units on the two previous hoses. Re-attach those two hoses, grasp the first hose clamp with pliers to release the pressure and slip the last fitting into it.
5. Slide the intercooler tube back into the rubber connector and tighten the hose clamp. Reconnect the wiring harness plug to your new N75J valve.

1. Remove the two bolts that secure the water outlet housing to the Audis engine with a socket and ratchet. With the bolts removed, lift the housing off the engine to expose the thermostat.
2. Note the positioning of the thermostat inside the engine. When you replace the thermostat, you must install it with the same positioning. Pull the old thermostat out of the engine and plug the hole with a shop rag.
3. Remove the old gasket from the engine with a wire brush or metal scraper. Do the same for the old gasket material stuck to the bottom of the water outlet housing.
4. Pull out the shop rag from the engine and install the new thermostat into position. Place a new gasket over the thermostat.
5. Place the water outlet housing onto the gasket and secure both to the engine with the socket and ratchet.

1. Raise and support the car on jack stands. Remove the front wheels. Loosen the bleeder screw on the top back side of the caliper. Compress the piston back into the bore of the caliper. To do this, insert the screwdriver in the access hole on the caliper between the brake pad and the rotor, and pry the pad inward toward the caliper piston; the piston will move back into its bore.
2. Tighten the bleeder screw on the caliper. Disconnect the electrical connector for the low brake sensor, which is just a few inches up from the caliper, and then pull the sensor out of the brake pad.
3. Remove the slider bolts holding the caliper on. Remove the caliper and hang it up. Do not let the caliper hang by its hose. Remove the caliper mounting bracket.
4. Check the rotor for heavy grooving and thickness. The minimum thickness is embossed on the front of the rotor. Use a micrometer to see if it is within tolerance. If it is within 10 thousandths of the minimum required thickness and needs to be surfaced, it is too thin and needs to be replaced. Resurfacing will take off more than 10 thousandths. If the rotor is to thin it will warp very easily and cause vibration. If it is in tolerance, have it surfaced so the new pads are starting on a smooth surface.
5. Remove the rotor--just pull it off of the studs on the spindle. Install the new rotor. Install the caliper mounting bracket. Install the brake pads along with the low brake sensor. The brake pads just slide into their brackets. Slide the caliper over the pads and install the slider bolts.
6. Do the opposite side in the same fashion. Start the car when finished and pump the brakes several times to adjust them before trying to move the car.

1. Locate the fuse panel cover on the drivers side dashboard, near the foot well. Use your fingers to pull down on it from the top.
2. Find a large port on the fuse panel. Plug the connective end of the OBD reset tool into this port.
3. Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the on position. Dont turn on the engine, though. This will power on the OBD reset tool automatically.
4. Wait for the codes to flash on the OBD reset tool screen. Use the arrow keys on the reset tool to find and select Delete on the menu screen. Some OBD reset tools have a Delete button on the face of the tool. Either way, select Delete and wait for the ABS light to blink and then turn off on the instrument panel.
5. Unplug the tool from the port and replace the fuse panel cover. Turn off the vehicle and wait 60 seconds. Turn the engine on and verify the ABS light is off.

1. Locate the EGR valve of the Mercedes 300D in the back of the engine on the drivers side of the engine compartment. The EGR valve is a circular metal device with a vacuum hose attached to the top of the valve.
2. Remove the vacuum hose from the top of the EGR valve by hand and set it out of the way.
3. Unfasten the two bolts on the sides of the EGR valve with a socket wrench that secures the part to the engine.
4. Remove the EGR valve from the Mercedes 300D engine compartment.

On the side of the new Auris and Auris Sports Touring Paris shows off the new Verso. The midi-MPV Toyota has a thorough facelift with about 300 parts are adjusted. What dynamics are concerned, certainly visually a quantum leap if you ask us.

Toyota is the popular C-segment with three advantages simultaneously. And how. The new Auris, Auris Sports Touring and also this new Verso have gotten a front that without more confidently looks into the world. That new face is according to Toyota due to its European division who built in Turkey Verso sole discretion has designed. A striking statement, because the new Auris comes just from Japan and thus shares the model looks. Whatever the case may be, the pretty good. A lot less anonymous than before anyway.

Interior
Where you can not get away with a facelift, some new exterior colors (3 in this case) and newly designed alloy wheels. On the inside are new fabrics for the upholstery of the furniture is a must. But Toyota went a lot further. The dashboard is made of new, soft-touch plastics and door panels, armrest and steering wheel are now lined with nappa leather. Again, more chrome injected - its on the gear lever to the dials and around the vents. Toyota also has multiple colors and screens addressed. All lighting is white and orange and equal for all controls. Furthermore, not only the centrally mounted clock shop renewed, the controls have been replaced by more modern ones.

Toyota Verso

Space
Without structural changes remains the same course load volume. That is still 155 liters with 7 people on board and 440 liters as 5 places are occupied. The range with three equipment versions retained, though Toyota is now slightly more generous as regards equipment. How that translates precisely will however be seen as the Dutch importer all prices and equipment levels known.

Engines
The Toyota Verso leaves the factory with a total of five available engines. Newsworthy is a revised 2.0-liter diesel (126pk, coupled with a manual six-speed gearbox) according to the manufacturer delivers more torque at low revs, quieter and also 10g/km less CO2 into the atmosphere blows. A 2.2-liter derivative is both a conventional and an automatic six-speed gearbox and 177 hp in the first case and in the second case 150 hp strong. Who prefers a petrol 1.6-liter with 132 horsepower or a 1.8-liter with 147 hp tick. Standard manual, but there is a CVT available on the 1.8. Who has already learned how a conventional machine must imitate. Technically this is absurd, but European consumers find it simply odd as the relationship between engine speed and acceleration is unclear.

Improved drive ability?
Henceforth, the Toyota Verso accordance with more welding points put together. This ensures increased rigidity of the body shell. Simultaneously, the McPherson front suspension and what are adjusted to the character of the rear doctored. They serve the body movement’s tighter rein to keep. The electric power steering is also doctored by Toyota to develop a more dynamic steering feel.
50000
The new Verso is from the first quarter of 2013 at the dealers. Toyota expects next year some 50,000 copies of the model to sell, good for a 5% market share in this segment.

1. Open the hood of the Mercedes 400E and allow the car to cool down if it is hot. Put the socket over the nuts holding the negative battery cable in place. Turn it to the left to loosen the cable nut and then slip if from the negative battery post. Do the same to remove the positive battery cable.
2. Place a drain pan beneath the radiator petcock, or drain plug. Turn the drain plug to the left with a socket wrench and allow the contents of the radiator to drain into the pan.
3. Open the radiator overflow tank by lifting the lid off with your hand. Also use a screwdriver to unscrew the hose clamp screw. Once loose, remove the radiator hose from the water pump.
4. Use a nut driver to remove the plastic nuts holding the fan shroud in place and then lift it out.
5. Unplug the fans plastic wiring harness and then remove the fan bolt with the socket set.
6. Loosen the belt pulley tension bolt and slip the belt from the pulley and the water pump.
7. Use the socket set to remove the retaining bolts holding the water pump in place. Once the bolts are pulled out, gently lift the old water pump out of the engine compartment.

1. Drive the Mercedes Benz 560 to a safe and well-ventilated work area that has a level surface. Make sure to set the emergency brake.
2. Remove the fuel cap from the fill tube of the fuel tank. Removing the cap will remove pressure from the fuel filter without having to remove any fuses.
3. Jack up the passenger-side rear of the Mercedes Benz 560 and set the safety stand under the frame directly in front of the rear, passenger-side wheel. Slowly lower the vehicle onto the safety stand. Leave the jack up as a extra safety precaution.
4. Locate the fuel filter behind the passenger-side rear axle. The fuel filter is a round canister with a fuel line attached to each end. Set the drip pan on the ground under the area of the fuel filter.
5. Remove the fuel lines from the fuel filter by unscrewing the fuel filter nuts with the metric wrenches. One of the fuel lines has a male end and the other fuel line has a female end. Turn both fuel lines counterclockwise to loosen and remove them.
6. Wait for the small amount of fuel to drip out of the fuel filter and fuel lines before you finish unscrewing the fuel lines from the fuel filter. Then, remove the bracket bolts from the fuel filter bracket with a metric wrench.
7. Pull the old fuel filter out and set it in the drip pan. Place the new fuel filter into the bracket. There is an arrow stamped onto the fuel filter that represents the direction of fuel flow. Make sure that the fuel filter is positioned inside the bracket with the arrow pointing towards the fuel line that carries the fuel to the engine and away from the fuel line that comes from the gas tank.
8. Screw both fuel lines onto the ends of the fuel filter. Tighten each fuel line clockwise with the metric wrenches until the lines are tight. Then, reattach the bracket and screw the bracket bolts in place. Tighten the bracket bolts with a metric wrench.
9. Pull the drip pan out and put the fuel cap back on the fill tube of the fuel tank. Turn the fuel cap clockwise until it clicks.
10. Turn the ignition key to the accessory position for five seconds and then back off again. Turn the ignition on and off for five seconds three different times. This will cause the fuel pump to fill the new filter up with fresh fuel and remove the air from the fuel system. Then, crank the engine and let it run while inspecting the new filter for leaks. Turn the engine off.
11. Jack the passenger rear of the Mercedes Benz 560 back up and remove the safety stand out from under the frame. Lower the Benz to the ground and remove the jack.

How to Change a Turn Signal Light on a BMW
1. Pop the hood on the car and use the flashlight to locate the four separate bolts that fasten the given light on the front of the car.
2. Loosen all four easily-seen bolts using the socket wrench and place bolts to the side taking care to remember which bolt goes where.
3. Once the bolts have been removed from the car, carefully yet firmly pull the entire lighting unit toward you. (The side marker light has a separate clip and you must apply slightly more pressure to that side of the light to get it loose from the vehicle.)
4. With the light pulled roughly six inches from the car, carefully loosen the bulb housing unit on the defective turn signal.
5. After removing the bulb, place the new bulb in the socket and gently turn slightly to the left while pushing down. This action will cause the bulb to slide down into the given slots on the housing unit.
6. After securing the bulb, make sure to turn your emergency lights on to see if the bulb is working.
7. If the bulb works, carefully slide the light back into place by applying an equal amount of pressure to the entire housing unit.
8. After the light has been slid firmly back into place, tighten the bolts back into their given grooves and close the hood.
