Hello, Anyone think my thermostat is stuck open? I'm not sure b/c: - still get hot air coming out of the air vents into the cabin; - when I sit idle for 5 minutes, temp gauge slowly increases to the middle 190*. 2002 Passat 1.8T 100,000 miles During this winter in zero to 30-degree weather...

I have changed the Coolant Temp Sensor and it will still not reach 190 degrees........ After about 15 minutes it will be half way to 190 degrees.... Your thoughts......?

I think I have looked at every heater/temp gauge/thermostat thread around and haven't found an answer to this. My 2002 1.8L temp gauge will get up to around 160 if I let the car idle for a while, and I have hot air from the heater. The moment I start driving the temp goes back down to the...

Hey there everyone, Too much noise coming from the front side of the engine so I guess it's time for a full belt swap including all the tensioners and belts around! Browsing around I came across this "REPAIR KIT" on 1stvwparts 058198479 which I can't make sure if includes the old or the new...

I changed my coolant and the guage is no longer steady at 190 degrees once warm. Everything seemed fine yesterday, the guage was right at 190. Hoever this morning it seemed to take more time to hit 190. The big concern is that on the way home it was 1 bar above 90 degrees (~115 degrees) for the...

I helped put on a Dyno-Day here in CO and we got some good numbers. We had a variety of B5 and B5.5 1.8t cars make pulls. There was also a good representation of Golf 1.8t's, a 1995 M3, a 1991 M5 and an S4. My 2003 B5.5 put down 190 wheel HP and 230 Foot pounds of torque. I was pretty happy...

My question pertains to a STOCK VR6 Jetta and a STOCK V6 Passat. My question does not pertain to a chipped 1.8.... Difference between a V6 with specs of 190 Hp @ 6000 rpm and a VR6 that runs 200 Hp @ 6200 rpm? Are'nt the specs really the same thing? I mean what would the specs of the VR6 be at...

I'm noticing some possible similarities between the gauges of my new Passat and my past Ford Trucks. Ford truck owners were surprized to learn that the temperature gauge was misleading -- in that it acted as expected during the warm-up period -- but that, once up to temperature, the gauge -- by...

Ok fellow winter drivers, help me out... I vowed last winter I would never-ever drive through the winter on all-season tires again. On that note, has anyone had experience with Pirelli Winter 190 Snowsports? The Tirerack has them on a “closeout” for $65 each in my size. Are they worth the...
