my jetta keeps overheating so i replaced the thermostat hoping that was the problem but know there telling me it might be the water pump check it out maybe its that
In a 93 jetta it is located in the water pump.Just 2 bolts holding it in. Be carfull not to strip them when unsrewing them from the alum. housing. If your car's overheating gague or light is on yet a thermometor in the radiator indicats 180 deg's.It is the temperature sensor not your thermostat.
Replace thermostat on 2000 vw jetta
How do I replace the thermostat in a 2004 1.8T jetta?
There is no sure way to know until you take the thermostat out and check it. After removing the thermostat, you can test it by submerging it slowly, with a tool in boiling water. You can then see the thermostat open up. If it does, this is not your overheating cause. If it does not, you need to purchase a new one. Install the new one and you will find out if that was the problem.
Wher is the thermostat housing located on the Jetta 2.5 5 cyl and how much rad fluid is needed once i replace he thermostat?
owners manual
Remove old thermostat. Install new thermostat.
The 1997 VW Jetta thermostat is located inside of the thermostat housing. Remove the thermostat housing retaining bolts. Remove the water supply hose. Reverse the process to install the new thermostat.
I had a VW Jetta that had a problem with overheating. It ended up being the thermostat had gone bad so the fan never "kicked on." A car can over heat if there isnt enough antifreeze in the radiator or a bad thermostat or if your fan isnt working properly or is bad
Its most likely the water pump.
I just had the thermostat housing replaced on my 99 Jetta VR6. It's on the right (driver's) side of the engine block. The battery and battery tray should be removed to get access to the thermostat.
like that.
