ah i was hoping you would show how to bleed the cooling system for air
locks.. but a great video none the less.. i need to change my thermostat
but seeing how its fiddly, i might end up throwing some tools around lol
If you have a 2.0L and it is overheating it would be wise to check the
water pump for impeller failure.
do you know if it would be the same on a 2002 jetta gl? i just had to
replace the altonator and now its over heating. i just cant find any videos
on an 02. Thanks much!!
Remove thermostat. Insert gloved finger into thermostat mounting hole .
try to turn impeller with gloved finger. If impeller moves freely it has
failed.
So, how can I check the impeller? Its there a noise? Whater leak? I thougth
that may be the thermostat… Is this the only reason for the rediator be
cold while the hoses are hot?
No i did not.
Did u replace the radiator on this car as well?
It depends were the coolant is leaking from.
The later ones with the 2.0L had plastic impellers on the water pumps which
came apart resulting in engine overheating.
i replaced the thermostat and it is now leaking out antifreeze.. i no that
my water pump was apparently going because a mechanic said the funny sound
when i start my car is a pump, but do u think my thermostat is just put in
wrong?
hi rich thanks for the video very informative, but i have a questio when
your not a mechanic and havent worked on many cars do you think this is
like easy moderate or hard for someone?
Rich, i have the same problem on my 98 jetta, the hoses have the same temp,
but the radiator still cool……what else could be?
nice video, thank you!
Excellent
Fuck Volkswagen
My 96 Golf is overheating. Just replaced the thermostat. Lower radiator
hose and radiator don’t heat up. Heat seems to radiate from large hose on
right side of engine. Running engine I see no water pumped out of top
radiator hose or any hoses to overflow ball. Sound like I need a water
pump? The blades felt OK through the thermostat hole.
Good video.
Nice video, but this procedure is a little different on a 1.8 turbo. You
can see it on my channel
When it gets hot are both top and bottom radiator hoes the same temperature.
Great job on the video. Will make this work so much easier. If you don’t
mind, what kind of camera do you use to make this video? It seemed to stay
put and hold the frame easily without a problem in focus. I’m just curious
if you have something that mounts well or what. Some use handheld cams,
some use digital cameras and some I’ve seen do these videos just with the
cameras on their laptops. Kudos!
dont buy german or any other luxury car there just expensive,. they also
break down more then regular cars. luxury cars are just money pits
No they didn’t bother to put one in.
korean cars are even simpler to repair just like Japanese cars. then when
you need coolant just use any brand of Japanese coolant
available.(Honda,Toyota,Nissan,Subaru,Zerex Asian vehicle,etc.) plenty of
parts too since most Korean cars share parts with Mitsubishi.
At the end of the video it looks like the serpentine belt is off. Water
pump replacement too?
There is way to much plastic on these modern cars makes working on them
like steeping through a mine field.
oh also a little tip. while you have the Thermostat out. if you look
inside( to the left) with a flash light. you can see the plastic water pump
impeller. make sure its in good shape. briansmobile1 shows it in How to
diagnose Beetle overheating.
It could be the water pump because that seems to be a big problem on these
cars.
They seem to have gone downhill.
Plastic impeller? Reminds me of the Saturn original CTS. Rather buy a
disposable Korean car. Am I right or am I right. Long live Richpin, and
happy.

No it is different coolant vw came up with.
You are the best man. Watched a boatload of videos on far fixing and YOURS
are THE BEST! THANX!
Sister has a 01 beetle that needs a ABS pump (what i was told)? and needs a
Cat. This car has been nothing but trouble. Every time I fix it, A day
later, Something else gos bad. Never again will i buy a newer VW.
