MY ADVICE:take it to the volkswagon dealer...reallybut if you are like me and like a chalange...this is my experiencefirst off my plastic lever wos broken off i didnt have a clue how this worked exept that just about every other car in the world bult after Y2K you pull the cap off the back and repace the bulb.EZ when i came to this site looking for answers all i found wos this unanswerd question that's where i learnd about the lever that controles the tightening mec.for the whole assembly.remember i had no instruction at all so i may have taken xtra steps first i took the battery out.next the air cleaner,the tube that goes from the air cleaner to front of car,and the battery box.VERY FRUSTRATING i played with the lever on the right side ov the car to see how it worked it moved easy so i sprayed a little pb blaster on the plastic got my big needle nose plyers went under to grab the plastic where the handle wos...wala the whole assembly fell out .somhow i don't think this is how they do it at the shope linning it back up(after changing the bulb)wos trikky but it went together.all and all it tok 4 or5 hours i don't know about you but i would have perferd to pay somone to do it and gone fishing SO that may not be how you are supposed to do it but it is how i did it
