I think my thermostat is sticking ,

Top hose seem hot but not much fluid in them ,coolent dribbles only into coolent tank, rad and bottom hoses seems cold , heater ok ,


I want to replace it

But where is the dam thing located ?

I have a Sharan 1999 1.9tdi non PD ,but guess its the same enigne in most others !!!

Hi ,i have a golf with the same engine ,thermostat is in the plastic housing which the top rad hose fits onto on the engine block, 2 allen or torx bolts hold it on i would have thought it will be the same ,could be wrong though.;)

thats more like it, thx Steve,



i did see this plastic housing just above the oil filter , and wondered if it was indeed the stat housing !! , it has various pipes going into it too , correct ? ,

Im getting the VW manual on CD soon , so will confirm then !!!

sorted now have fun changing it, a piece of advice get a thermostsat with the sealing ring that wraps round, not one that is separate, as trying to hold themo, sealing ring, and thermo cover, you need three hands:D
