Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Ive had my van for about a week and yesterday the trunk stopped opening when i tried, any ideas what it might be or how to open it again....my oils leaking and i need to get into the engine

try spraying the inside of the lock with wd40 through the opening you'd normally stick the key in. if that doesn't work, you're going to have to take out the cylinder and sand it. keys wear down after a while and they don't fit the lock anymore.

You can override the power door lock by turning the key in the cylinder to 11:00 and push the release in with the key. There is probably a broken wire in the power door lock harness.

My 87 vanagon will not pass smog. It lopes at an idle, hesitates badly during driving and blows black smoke. It does not do this all of the time, it has progressivly gotten worse over the last couple of months. I looked the problem up in a book and it told me to: reset vacuum kick reset fast idle cam index reset fast idle rpm The book however did not tell me where these things are located or how I can fix them. Please help! 17 answers
