If I recall correctly, it's supposed to run at 190. I assume this is a bad thermostat.?.. Of course, there's little heat inside the car... kinda like driving an old Beetle. I flushed my coolant... 14x, so that's good. And I flushed my heater core until clear.

Hows it going guys? This is my first post here. Awhile back I bought an 02 1.8T Passat from a coworker for cheap. I needed wheels & he had too many cars. The car has 431K on the clock but it seemed pretty sound so I bought it. The work I have done on it so far has kept me pretty busy. Unplugged...

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 have a 2.8 a6. New water pump and new thermostat. The car was fine before I got these changed. Immediately after my cars temp starts fluctuating to normal and slightly hotter than normal. When at normal (middle) it reads 96C When heating up it reading 102-103. The coolant sensor is...

According to this, the toe setting is in inches (presumably between front edge and rear edge of the tires) http://www.autozone.com/autozone/repairguides/Volkswagen-Cars-2000-05/Wheel-Alignment/Wheel-Alignment-Specifications/_/P-0900c152801bdb0b But I have seen people claiming that the 0.16...

It's common knowledge that the entire Northeast took a beating this winter. Between the Bone Chilling cold and incessant snow, we hardly had a decent day to take drive, much less, even clean off the Passat properly. Well, When i saw that it would be 50 degrees on Saturday, :bowdown: I decided to...

:thumbup: These are brand new Kodiak made in Canada outer ring shells for 15 inch modular wheels like BBS, OZ, Schmidts, Borbets, etc... that uses 30 holes to mount the shell to the wheel. It is fully polished and never installed. I have two widths, 2 inch and 1.5 inch, any width is 175.00...

It is 90 degrees plus and it is an everyday thing here in Columbus, Ohio. I know it is NO good for my beautiful 2002 V6 GLX AutoTiptronic Passat. Anyone else feeling the drag on your ride??? What can we do to minimize the effect on the car???

So while I was in an intersection (with the right of way), another car nudged forward and hit my rear wheel (and quarter panel) while I was driving by. Probably $2K in body panel work and painting. My question is, I had an alignment done and the left rear wheel that was hit is out of camber...

Last wash and wax of the year :D. Happy Holidays!

My 02 gives me a visual and auditory warning whenever the ambient temp drops to 39 degrees. As it is usually less than that here, I'm just curious as to what the point is of this warning. Is there something special about 39 degrees? that audible warning always gives me a bit of a surprise. How...

I took my car to a friend of mines VAG mechanic and he hooked up the VAG-COM, needless to say he finds a few codes. One was for the timing being off (JUST DID THE TIMING BELT LAST WEEKEND!!!), and the other was for the cam tensioner (?). So he takes the car out for a few, comes back and...

I'm confused. Today I replaced my broken compressor to condenser hose and refilled my refrigerent with a DIY can. Pressure seems fine and compressor is now coming on. I plan to get it evacuated and refilled at a professional shop but wanted to test the system before shelling out tons of cash...

It was -24 degrees the other morning & my car almost didn't start, after turning it over for a long time it started & my airbag light turned on & my windshield wiper fluid light went on. It's been a couple days now & my wiper fluid light went off, but my airbag light is still on :banghead: Any...

Ya know, you see the darndest things. This morning, I decided I'd take a little longer way to work, to get the car good and warmed up before shutting down for the rest of this very cold day. So, I drive pass a local car wash (one of these laser car wash deals - you drive in and stop and the...

Hi, I owe a Passat 1997 TDi with climatronic. For some reason as soon as temperature drops below 3 degrees Celsius the climatronic stops dehumidifying and all windows become so foggy that becomes really hard to drive in those conditions. Anyone has an idea what the problem may be? Is there a...

Normally my air conditioning works great............until my dash thermometer reads 90 degrees or higher then the A/C doesn't want to work. I have had it tested an everything seemed fine. Why is this? Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks, Nick thebassn8tr
