    I changed the thermostat today as the car was no longer sitting at the solid 90°C as is should, it was hovering more around the 70°C, presumably the thermostat sticking open. Now that I've changed the thermostat and reassembled, the engine is sitting spot on 90°C, heaters are getting lovely and...

    Hello forum, I have what seems to be a small coolant leak somewhere on the drivers side of the vehicle. I recently added UV coolant dye to the coolant reservoir to help me to locate the leak. After a week of driving around with the dye in the cooling system, I was able to see some of the UV...

    Bought a used 2005 Passat V6 with 78k miles on it. Very very poorly maintained and needs a paint job but I think it has a lot of life left in it.
