billinjah 0 Posted November 24, 2005 i bypassed the valvers matrix yuesterday after it finally let go driving it to day it seems that in traffic its over heating and on a run its sitting at 100 deg. the fan doesnt seem to be coming on for very long and the rad isnt getting very hot. could it be the thermostat? i also noticed the rad top hose is balloning rather a lot.

billinjah 0 Posted November 24, 2005 or could it be an airlock? do you fill the valvers the same as the g60? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted November 24, 2005 Yeah - sounds like the stat... Not having the matrix in circuit shouldn't make much difference in this weather... apart from you'll be freezing your balls off! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billinjah 0 Posted November 24, 2005 anyone know where the valvers thermostat is? i thought it was i the same place as an 8v obviously not though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
White2505 0 Posted November 24, 2005 If it's the same as the 16v golf engine then I think its underneath the water pump in a metal 90degree housing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
