If there is anything I can get for you (which does not require removing the engine to access!) let me know. It's the base layer of a 2-high stack of cars, so it's a little difficult to access. Holland's in Billerica, MA. W8 Wagon. Grey(?) in color. The headlights are there, and appear to...

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...

Then like in about 10 miles it would over heat again and then go back down. I had the thermostat replaced so supposingly it is supposed to be the...

When I start my car, as soon as my fans turn on, I hear knocking noise coming from somewhere behind stereo unit in the middle of the dash. Dealership already replaced blower motor, control module and recirculation motor. The noise is still there after all those fixes so I wonder if any of you...
