#61 of 291 my first problem with 2003 Passat by krzyss Feb 10, 2007 (9:00 pm)
Hi !   My temperature gauge got mind of its own. Sometimes it stays at lowest position and never moves (air vent blows hot, HOT, air). Sometimes it works normal. Have anybody heard about termometer going bad? Or is it the gauge cluster? Maybe cables? I am not sure it is worth money to pay somebody (dealer?) to troubleshoot it and fix it. I forsee hundreds of dollars spent and no real fix.   Krzys   PS I do not want engine to overheat but on the other hand do not want to spend fortune pinpointing spurious problem.

Replying to: krzyss (Feb 10, 2007 9:00 pm) Sounds like the coolant temperature sensor. See repairs here:   http://www.taligentx.com/passat/maintenance/coolanttempsender/   It's a common issue.

Replying to: krzyss (Feb 11, 2007 7:17 pm) The good news is this is a very inexpensive item, as Passat parts go. Make sure you get the correct color coded unit. Good luck!

and I cannot locate this thing. They say it is located at the rear of the engine so I am looking for it near the firewall.   Krzys Replies to this message: altair4 (Feb 12, 2007 10:38 am) altair4 (Feb 12, 2007 11:27 am)

Replying to: krzyss (Feb 12, 2007 4:15 am) 1.8T or V6? I can find better pics of the V6. In either case, I think it's pretty much in the same area - did you take off the top engine cover? Admittedly, I haven't looked for this under my own hood, but will if you still need help (I've got the 1.8T). Let me know.
#67 of 291 I have 1.8T by krzyss Feb 12, 2007 (11:07 am)
but I think the crucial part of engine cover removal I did not see. Wish me luck later today   Krzys

Replying to: krzyss (Feb 12, 2007 4:15 am) I think if I were going to do this, I'd buy the sensor, the o ring, and that little metal clip (I can just see that thing zinging off into the nether regions of the engine bay...).
