I spent the best part of an hour trying to undo this connection - to no avail. There is obviously a trick to it that doesn't destroy it in the process! Any advice most welcome. (The wires go to the radiator fan that's embedded in the radiator cowling that sits just behind the radiator itself.)...

Morning all. Just been informed my radiator has cracked again and needs replacing.
Original was replaced 18 months ago and car has only travelled 15k since and I need another replacement.
No impact but we do live near some speed humps, although I always crawl over them?
Car is tuned...

Hi everyone. I have a passat 2012 v6 wagon and just discovered a leak in the radiator. My question is this. To get the radiator out in these cars, do i have to remove the front bumper. Appreciate your help. Looked online and here for any instructions but could not find any.

Regards...

G'day everyone,

I'm new to the forum and wanted to share a car upgrade with you all. Unfortunately, my trusty VW Passat v6 wagon got rear-ended recently – written off absolutely devastating. But, on the bright side, I've found a Golf R 7.5 Grid Edition wagon down in South Australia....

Just having the radiator assembly in my 2017 Polo GTI replaced. Was told it is much more complex in the GTI - is this right?

Hi guys,

My 2014 GTI performance pack had a coolant leak, spotted on the right side of the engine bay's splash shield, which turned out to be from the radiator. Post-radiator replacement, the coolant level continued to drop, but I found no leaks on the earlier spot, so I assumed it was...

Hello there,

I had my S3 serviced yesterday and was told that my radiator expansion tank was leaking around the water level sensor plug.
Apparently VW/Audi/Skoda all suffer from this.

Has anyone on the forum had a similar problem?
And if so, where did you...

hey everyone! VW Newbie here. I have a Passat 2011 wagon and the hood latch cable broke off

I did manage to open the hood via the center badge removal. I got a new front latch cable but I cant find instructions as to how to install it. Where should the cable run through? Behind the radiator...

Need to replace my radiator fans on my R36 , not sure the best way to remove it, as space looks restricted don't want to remove stuff if not needed for access.
Any suggestions ?

Hi

Anyone know where i can find one?

TIA

Hi,

My 2.0 FSI is just about due for a coolant change, was comparing doing a full flush vs. just draining it from the lower radiator hose. What do people on here recommend? The coolant was changed 2 years ago.

Thanks,

Hello,
I suspect the radiator fan on my Multivan is not running to full potential. On hot days and or in stop start traffic, the oil temperature reading climbs to approx 108oC, sometimes higher (the coolant temp remains at 90oC), however the radiator fan never seams to reach high speed, compared...

I haven't found any Passat specific howto for removing the radiator support frame. Does anyone have any links? This is for a B7 my13 petrol wagon.

Hi vwWaterCooled Members,
I bought a 2nd hand VW Golf (2010, TSI, turbo, 118 , 85000Kms) about a year back.The car had no issues and looked perfectly fine up until couple of weeks back, when it started to make Noise when the car was running. Took it to a Local Mechanic, suggested that the Water...

Hi all,
Before I go separating things more than I have to I wonder if anyone can confirm that standard valve seats in a B1 1500 motor are ok for unleaded petrol?

Any unusual things/weaknesses which should have attention while the engine is out for a freshen up. The engine has only...
