#714 of 743 Re: Cold air heater problem [ebruns] by bpeebles Feb 27, 2007 (7:13 pm)
Replying to: ebruns (Feb 27, 2007 4:56 pm) It is not surprising that low coolant in the resivour could cause an air-bubble in the system. Basically, if the level of the coolant in the resivour gets below ANY other part of the system, then an air bubble may migrate to other parts of the cooling system.   The BIG problem you may need to keep an eye on is to make sure that the coolant level is not going down over time. This would indicate an internal leak. (since you did not mention seeing any external leakage)   PS: It is good to hear that you used the approved G12 antifreeze. Some folks have mistakenly mixed in NON-approved antifreeze... this causes a gell to form which may plug up the system. Replies to this message: ebruns (Mar 07, 2007 5:24 pm)

Replying to: bpeebles (Feb 27, 2007 7:13 pm) Thanks. No, no visible leak. In fact, I have about 9,000 miles and 1 year of driving. The coolant level was just below the internal ring of the antifreeze/coolant recovery unit, still within operational level. However, I recommend filling as much as possible, leaving room for expansion. I did check the radiator, no air in there. Anyway, after 3 weeks, it still works. Thanks

Replying to: bpeebles (Apr 15, 2007 4:17 pm) Thank you. I'm pretty much computer challenged, I have enough trouble Googling. Probably could have found it there too.

Replying to: jskyy (Aug 29, 2006 8:00 am) I have the same problem with the surging and dropping of rpm's on my 2000 2.0 Beetle. I have been told that it is the throttle position sensor, but I cannot find any place that sells tps's for a beetle!!! I have searched all over the internet and called tons of places. Anyone have any suggestions as to where to find the piece??? Does anyone know if the tps that fits in another VW model will also fit in the Beetle????

Replying to: sportygirl (Sep 18, 2000 5:18 pm) how much does it cost to get fixed?

Replying to: lilbit2007 (May 14, 2007 4:10 pm) I've just purchased the same thing pretty much, a 2004 convertible GLS 1.8T manual...I just tested my first tank of gas and got 28.8 MPG. Wonder what the difference is between mine and yours? Something must be wrong for there to be that much of a difference. I agree, it is very fun to drive.
