So this saga begins with the overheating of the car. No spray or steam (ie, hoses intact) and coolant level fine. Had the car towed to the house. First thing everyone says is to replace the thermostat. In this car you have to take off the alternator, etc. etc. and then you replace the whole...

I have a 2007 20.T Passat, and my daughter recently ran the nose over one of those parking lot bumpers. It tore off the undertray and messed up the side skirts a bit, no big deal. But it also bent the shaft on the auxiliary radiator fan motor, such that the fan jammed against the shroud and...

Hello, I have VW Passat '03 W8 -106000 miles Few days ago after driving my Passat for about 20 minutes I have noticed that my radiator fans run at high speed even when the car idling. Temperature gauge doesn't stay at 190F as usual - instead it stays around 120F. Was thinking that the sensor...

I have an 06 Passat. Up on shuting the engine off the two cooling fans run for what seems an excessive lenth of time maybe 10 minutes. I afraid it will run down the battery. I replaced the temp sensor on the side of the block today, but it didn't correct the problem. I bought it used for my...

Might want to read this. http://jalopnik.com/397308/corvette-zr1-laps-nurburgring-in-7264 Happy time! I probably should have posted this a couple weeks ago when I saw it, but I've been away from PW for a bit. I can't search ZR1, so I hope this hasn't been posted yet.
