How to Change the Brake Light Switch on a BMW

1. Climb down into the drivers side foot well area and pull the cotter pin out from the retaining pin that connects the brake pedal to the brake booster assembly. Use a pair of pliers.
2. Slide the brake booster-to-brake pedal retaining pin out of the brake booster mounting bracket. This will disconnect the brake pedal from the brake booster.
3. Lift up on the brake pedal and unplug the electrical connector running to the brake light switch behind the brake pedal.
4. Unbolt the bolts holding the brake light switch to the firewall and pull the switch off the firewall.
5. Install the new switch. Installation is the reverse of removal. When replacing the retaining pin that connects the brake pedal to the brake booster, slide the cotter pin through the small hole in the end of the pin and bend the cotter pin back over the retaining pin. This will secure the retaining pin in place and prevent it from accidentally sliding out of the brake booster mounting bracket.

How to Replace Front Brake Pads on a Mercedes C230

1. Park the C230 on a flat surface and apply the parking brake.
2. Place tire blocks behind the rear wheels.
3. Loosen the lug nuts on the Mercedes front wheels with the lug wrench.
4. Place the jack beneath the frame in the front of the vehicle and lift the front tires off the ground. Place two jack stands under the vehicle, one under each axle.
5. Remove the lug nuts and take the front wheels off.
6. Pull the spring clip from the outside of the caliper with a pair of pliers.
7. Remove the dust covers from the caliper slide bolts with a flat screwdriver. Remove both slide bolts on each caliper with a 14 mm socket wrench.
8. Lift the caliper from the caliper bridge and suspend it from the upper steering arm with a bungee cord or wire coat hanger--do not allow the caliper to hang by the brake line.
9. Open the brake bleed valve on the caliper with a 10 mm wrench. Place a drip pan below the caliper to capture the brake fluid that will flow from the bleed valve during the caliper piston depression.
10. Place the C-clamp over the piston and the back of the caliper. Squeeze the piston to force it into the side of the brake caliper. This will allow the caliper to fit over the new brake pads, which will be thicker than the outgoing, worn pads.
11. Remove the C-clamp from the caliper once the pistons have been completely depressed within the side of the caliper. Close the brake bleed valve with the 10 mm wrench. Dispose of the expelled brake fluid properly (see epa.gov for your states regulations on disposal of hazardous materials).
12. Remove the two brake pads from the slots of the caliper bracket.
13. Apply brake grease to the back side of each of the brake pads and slide them into the caliper bracket slots on either side of the Mercedes rotor.
14. Replace the caliper over the new brake pads in the caliper bracket slots and screw in the caliper bolts with the 14 mm socket wrench. Insert the spring clip back into the caliper.
15. Repeat the process (steps 6 through 14) for the other front brake pads.
16. Replace the front wheels onto the C230s wheel bolts and screw on the lug nuts.
17. Lift the front of the Mercedes and remove the jack stands. Lower the front tires to the ground and tighten the lug nuts with the lug wrench.

How to Install a Blow Off Valve on a Passat

1. Park the Passat in your driveway and pull the emergency brake up. Pull the hood release latch, then turn the Passat off. Prop the hood up and disconnect the black cable from the car battery to protect yourself from electrical shorts. Put drop cloths on the edges of the engine bay to protect the paint.
2. Locate the turbocharger downpipe; the Passats blow off valve is attached to the side of the pipe. Pull the vacuum line top from the top of the blow off valve by hand. Unscrew the O-ring clamp that secures the bottom of the valve to the downpipe port. Pull the old blow off valve off and place it to the side.
3. Plug the new blow off valve into the port on the downpipe. Screw the O-ring clamp onto the bottom of the blow off valve until it is tight and will not budge. Plug the vacuum line in on the top of the blow off valve. Reconnect the black wire to the car battery and shut the Passats hood.
4. Turn the Passat on and take it for a test drive. If the Passat blow off valve is installed correctly, the engine speed will drop suddenly once you exit the turbo power band. If the engine speed stays elevated after fast driving, then the blow off valve is not working right. The vacuum line may have come off or the blow off valve spring may be broken.

4. Set the replacement battery in the engine compartment. Reconnect the battery terminals with an open-end wrench, starting with the positive terminal, then finishing with the negative. Push the battery tray back into the engine compartment. Slide the black tab that you removed in Step 1 back under the battery tie down. Push the rubber molding back onto the tray.
5. Push the metal strap that goes over the battery down to hook it into the chassis. Slide the black rubber stopper back under the strap so it looks like it did in Step 1.

Pull the dipstick out and wipe it clean with a cloth. Slide it in the tube and pull it out, reading the fluid level. If the level of fluid in the transmission gets too low, the transmission will fail.
