Help with door panel removal on my 2004 VW Beetle

The original VW Beetle was amazingly simple to work on (part of its enduring charm, no doubt) but later model Beetles are more complex. However, removing the interior door panel from a new Beetle is not too difficult, provided you know the steps.

The first of those is to remove the small trim panel that forms the interior door-pull or armrest. This can be a bit tricky, but try not to use too much force to avoid breaking the plastic clips that hold it in place. With that removed, you should expose two screws which then also need to be removed.

Next, there are three Torx-headed fasteners that sit along the bottom edge of the plastic trim panel, and they also need to be removed. From there, it’s a matter of gently prising the plastic panel off the door in one piece. Once all the clips have been released, the entire panel can be lifted slightly to free the assembly from the top edge just under the window glass.

If you need to remove the panel completely, you’ll also need to remove the wiring harness for the power windows, locking button, fuel door and the courtesy light (they unclip or prise off with a screwdriver; don’t cut them) and then pull the door release cable from its bracket and unhook it from the interior door handle mechanism.

If you’re going to tackle jobs like this on a car like the VW (and why not?) the best advice is to get hold of a workshop manual that will walk your through tasks like this one with good descriptions and lots of pictures for reference. Such a book will save you lots of money over time.

How do I change the headlight bulb in my 2016 VW Amarok?

This vehicle’s headlights are proof that engineers hate mechanics. It seems preposterous that you’d need to disassemble a large chunk of the front of the vehicle just to change a globe, but that’s how it looks. But there is one thing you can try, and that is to remove the grille and then lower the front bumper slightly (still a major job). From there, you might be able to remove the headlight units for access to the globe-holders and change them that way, rather than with the lights in situ.

I want a sleek seven-seater.

It all depends on how you define long and bulky. But no seven-seater is going to be exactly small, is it? That’s because, to accommodate the third row of seats necessary to seat seven a vehicle physically has to be a certain length and there’s just no getting around that.

But I take your point; a lot of the seven-seat SUVs out there do seem pretty big. Again, however, that’s not a bad thing if you plan to fill all three rows of seats and still have some room left for luggage. The smaller seven-seaters aren’t all that good at this as the third row gobbles up the luggage space, making these cars best for those who only need seven seats on an occasional basis. If that’s your situation there are lots of mid-sized seven seaters around, but they’re pretty much all SUVs.

And while it goes against your preference for a smaller vehicle, the very best seven-seaters aren’t SUVs. They’re usually people-mover vans such as the Ford Tourneo, Kia Carnival and VW ID. Buzz. In fact, some of these even seat eight. They’re also a lot better for accessing the rearmost row of seats and they’ll still have lots of luggage space even with all seats occupied. And, yes, they look big, but that’s physics for you.

In the meantime, you could look at slightly less bulky options including the Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, Mazda CX-80 and Toyota Kluger. There’s also been speculation recently that Subaru’s seven-seat Tribeca might make a return to the Australian market.
