raypau 0 Posted November 5, 2003 Is the car overheating? I had a similar problem and VW found that it was an electrical fault. Ended up changing the temp gauge and the electrical plug which plugs into the engine block. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KARMANN 0 Posted April 23, 2004 Mine has failed today-after getting it back from the garage (fitting new clutch and flywheel)-the guage doesnt go up at all.I have checked all the plugs around the engine they seemed fine.But once i checked it later a small black plug (spade) on the side of the engine just next to the distributor cap broke away as i checked it-does anyone know what this is-could it have been original problem?

Supercharged 2 Posted April 24, 2004 Mine has failed today-after getting it back from the garage (fitting new clutch and flywheel)- Just a thought but you could check the Gbox earth... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KARMANN 0 Posted April 24, 2004 where is the earth on the gearbox? i disconected (when engine was very warm-but egnition not fully on) the plug that goes into the expansion tank and plugged the plug that sits behind the tank into the tank-the water temp gauge didnt rise but after a minute the water level warning light started flashing-does this mean the neddle is f**kd or is it somit else?
