Volkswagen Quantum Workshop Manuals and Repair Manuals

To bleed the brakes in your Volkswagen Quantum, start by locating the brake bleed valve on each wheel. With the help of an assistant, attach a clear tube to the bleed valve and submerge the other end in a container partially filled with brake fluid. Starting with the wheel farthest from the master cylinder (usually the rear right), have your assistant slowly press the brake pedal several times while you open the bleed valve. Close the valve before releasing the pedal, and repeat the process for each wheel until all air bubbles are eliminated and only clean brake fluid flows through the tube.

To change the oil in your Volkswagen Quantum, first, locate the oil drain plug underneath the vehicle. Use a wrench to loosen and remove the plug, allowing the old oil to drain completely. Once drained, replace the drain plug and remove the oil filter. Install a new oil filter, then refill the engine with the recommended amount and type of oil. Be sure to dispose of the old oil properly.

To check the tire pressure in your Volkswagen Quantum, start by locating the tire valve stems. Remove the valve cap and place a tire pressure gauge onto the valve stem, pressing firmly to get an accurate reading.
