I’ll do that, and let you what happened.Thank you very much.
If you scanner can read live data you want to look at the temp reading.Check it in the morning when it is cold it should be close to the outside temp.
@richpin06a.I have a 2000 passat (4cylinder) turbo. It runs smooth, but sometimes, it cranks, but doesn’t want to start (after sitting for an hour or so). Wait about 15 minutes then it starts perfectly and runs smoothly. A few days later we start this cycle again. The scary thing is a few times the car has turned off while driving, and to make things worse the Check Engine light is not ON. Gas filter, fuses seem to be OK. I have a scanner how do I check if coolant temp sensor is culprit? Thanx.
Just tried this on my 2004 3.0 V3 Audi A4. It worked great. The hardest part for me was to get the clip back on, so the thread trick was very useful. In the A4 that I have, I could get away with taking very little of the air intake away since it is a little different than the Passat shown here. Very informative video, it made all the difference. Thank you.
That air box looks like a face! @3:49.
New stuff i agree but i love my little 1956 beetle.
VWs are all shit boxes, Matter a fact Im flying out to Wolfsburg Germany next summer just to slap every single person at their headquaters. I mean seriously VW was founded by the nazi’s and should have been abandoned in 1945
Thank you! I would consider it “low.” Should be higher. I will get this changed out.
If you are getting low gas millage that could be a symptom of a bad coolant temp sensor.
20 MPG
What is your gas millage like.
My 2008 Jetta 5 cylinder gasoline engine 2.5 litre has a high idle upon cold start when the ambient temperature is below 100 degrees outside. When the temperature is over 100 degrees outside, I get an intermittent P0068 Throttle Position Sensor error code, but this goes away when the temperature outside is in the 90’s or lower. Could this be due to a faulty Coolant Temp Sensor? The temp gauge always shows 190 degrees when starting unless the ambient temp is under 100, then shows lower.
awesome! now I know how to take the air box off.
I have the same model, do you have a video on how to change the coolant. If not can u please tell how to drain it out
you don’t have to take the entire airbox off. just loosen the 2 metal bands around the intake hose and just take that off. this will save you another 5 minutes.
Great video real easy to do.
I would start by checking the start wire at the starter to see if it has voltage when the key is turned to the start position.
Rich any thoughts?
0n 3.2L engines, the sensor is located on the thermostat housing coolant pipe assembly.
Thanks my friend!.
I am trying to change the temperature coolant sensor on a VW Touareg V6, ’04. Your videos are helpful,but I cannot locate the sensor on the Touareg. Can you help?
no new lights come on. i drove my car for a four hour trip that day. no problems. then the sensor change and no start. i even replaced the new sensor with the old one to test and same thing- no start.
Do you have any lights around the dash that seem be on or off and they should or should not be lit.
great video. i need your help. i replaced my sensor on suday. however, after the replacement my car will not start. a half key turn will activate the lights and the car will beep and chime, but a full turn will not crank the engine! is it possible that my hand dislodged a wire/connector? is there something around the sensor that was knocked that would cause the engine not to crank? thanks in advance.
it would be helpful if you didnt switch fucking camera angles every 2 seconds
It does sound like you have the four pin sensor.
Great tutorial this is exactly what I needed! I do have a question though. I dont want to take apart my all those pieces to determine which of the 2 sensors I need. I guess there is a 2 pin and a 4 pin for the 2.8 motor.
I removed and looked under the flexible hose and saw the sensor with 4 wires going in, is it safe to assume I need the 4 pin sensor?
That’s a lot of work to just remove a sensor; isn’t this supposed to be the people’s car?
It is a 99 so a 97 should be similar.
great tutorial video! what model year is that Passat? can you tell me where to find the sensor in a 1997 Passat and are the replacement instructions similar?
Yes if you do not mind taking that tube off it is the way to go.
Thank you for posting this. I found it easier to get the sensor out before taking the connector off. Some connectors don’t have the metal spring and are a pain to get off. Also taking the hard plastic air intake tube makes the job much easier and its not that hard to take off and put back on. A Lupo is the smallest, the Polo is 2nd smallest and then comes the Golf/Rabbit. They are all 3 different cars…
I replaced on a cold engine and did not drain.
Do you need to drain radiator fluid when doing this? Seen it in another video before removing sensor. or is it safe to just work with a cold engine and not drain? I have a 98 Jetta 2.0
No it is in a different location.
Is the temp sensor in the same location for a B5 Passat with the 1.8T engine?
Sorry i do not have any info on that car.
I have a 2009 vw cc 2.0L and it has 2 coolant sensors I’ve located 1 of them but cant seem to find the second one. Would it be in the same place as this passat?
rabbit
Your an idiot. A polo is much smaller than a golf. They are not even close to the same…
