Unlock the harness tab before prying the plug off with a screwdriver.

If someone smashed your headlight, the insurance company would probably just total the car!

@gtaseed 5 месяцев назад

Still better than the Porsche Cayenne headlights that come off in 1 second with a ruler, without even opening the hood mind you. VW really loves their extremes

@TAHerrmann1 3 года назад

Good overview. Thanks. I have the same car, same year, same color, but on mine the Torx are T30. If you strip the head with the T25, have your 8mm socket handy. Oh and when the bumper doesn't slide off, remove the 3, quarter-turn screws underneath. As for aligning the headlamp assembly with the fender and adjusting the low and high beams, perhaps that's in another video.

We had to use a T27 on ours. We appreciate the video 👍🏻

You don’t have to remove the hood release thing is a pain in the ass to put in back on you just have to fiddle around with the hanging grille but it saves you the hassle of putting that thing back on

@The1Dude1Abides 3 года назад

Thing is if your doing a tutorial for other people to follow, you should make your best effort to make sure it's correct, shes didn't mention the undertray which is on most passats thats attached to the bottom of the bumper and the bit with the electrical connections made me feel all wrong, anyone doing this as a a first job is going to start prying all there electrical connections off with a screw driver

Learn how to remove the power connectors properly, there is a clip on the plug that you need to squeeze. Well done, just knackered the plug with the screw driver. Excellent example of what not to do

I believe those connectors were “knackered” by a previous sledgehammer mechanic.

Then spend twice a long trying to get the over-engineered hood catch back in place - or replace it with a cable tie in 2 mins !

@PonderingOne Год назад

Thanks for this video. We found that the larger fasteners were T27 instead of T25. The most difficult part was reassembly of the hood latch release. Someone else in the comments section claimed that this job could be done without disassembly of that release mechanism. I would recommend trying that. Thanks again.

@rlewis1946 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the suggestion on looking for a Comment on removing the grille, without disassembling the secondary hood release. I haven’t started trying to remove that pull handle, and would prefer not having to do it, if possible.

Could you please explain your hood release work around. I’m struggling with that task, in order to remove/get the grille out of the way. Thanks. RL Buffalo, NY

@swim742 5 месяцев назад

@@rlewis1946 so I did everything but that. I took off the grille and bumper and just left the chrome part of the grille attached to the pulley. There's plenty of room to get your screwdriver in there you may just have to tilt the chrome left or right to get to the screws underneath but again there's plenty of space. You don't have to take the pulley out. It doesn't look as professional while doing it but it does work. Let me know if this works for you

@mlg294 7 лет назад

You don't pry at the connectors a special tool for that

@fcpeuro 7 лет назад

The connectors were already broken on the car from a past owner. Our terminal release tool didn't help because the plastic on the inside of the connector was stuck to the housing itself and the only way to remove it was unfortunately with force. You are correct though. The right thing would have been to push in the top securing tabs in and pull back on the connector to remove them.

@strikeryachts 7 лет назад

Right, but she should of explained to the yoms out there who will do exactly what she did. I still give her an "A" I have 40 years experience and can do that now.

@djhatstand7312 4 года назад

You push on the connector to compress the rubber seal, you then use a flat blade screwdriver to push the lever, it unhooks, then pull apart, no special tool required

@TheJorgSacul 4 года назад

I just installed new headlight housings... OMG, the previous owner left off so many of those t-25s torx screws and used wrong hardware to hook it all back up!!! I wish I'd seen this video before doing the work, it would have made sorting out this mess so much easier. Great video!!

That was painful. I know she is just the calendar girl being given step by baby step instructions from just off camera - but to go through the factory service process and then butcher the harness clip. Ouch. Undo the 4 T25 bolts, get a pry bar and it WILL pop out without any of this non sense.
