I bought an electric impact wrench and was wondering when it is appropriate to use it and when some muscle on a standard ratchet might be a better choice. My new axle came today for my 03 1.8T. If I can get a straight line to the flange bolts should I go impact?

While doing a coolant temp sensor replacement on my 2004 Passat GLX (Fwd V6), I dropped my allen wrench into the back of the engine compartment. While unscrewing the 5mm hex nut to loosen the air intake duct, my allen wrench slipped and fell. (This happened on the engine-side of the corrugated...

So I got a coolant leak that is almost certainly coming from the water pump (or O-ring). So essentially, I am preparing to do a TB job without actually replacing the TB since I did that about 50K miles ago (Aug 2012). Since I'm not replacing the TB, it follows that I won't have the specialty...

The dealer put the oil filter on my 09 GTI way too tight, and now I can't get it off. I have tried different end cap filter wrenches in allegedly the right size, but with enough force, they eventually start to slip and spin, leaving the filter unmoved. There is no room to stick a screw driver...

I've searched and searched and found various references to the wrench and minute buttons, but I have non of those.. Take a look at the picture. The odo reset "0.0/Set" button and a clock adjust button. I tried various combinations but no luck. Ideas? Or impossible without tool?
