I have a 2001 passat 1.8T that overheats

Asked by Thomas Sep 21, 2016 at 06:20 PM about the 2001 Volkswagen Passat GLS

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Replaced thermostat, coolant temp sensor and coolant flange. The car will run great just pushes coolant out the overflow on the recovery tank then overheats.

Was vehicle overheating before replacing thermostat and sensor ? Did you bleed air from the system after replacing thermostat ?

Change the O ring and inspect the metal binding section on the over flow tank. Mine did the same thing until I replaced the tank.
