Volkswagen GTI Thermostat Replacement DIY (2006-2008 Mk5 VW Golf GTI, 2013 Mk6 Golf R)
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
►Replacing your Mk5 GTI's failing thermostat will save the engine from severe damage. Although the water pump and radiator get all the attention in the cooling system, the thermostat also plays a large role. The engine in your Mk5 GTI needs to reach operating temperature to perform as intended, and the thermostat prevents coolant circulation until that happens. Unfortunately, a failing thermostat can either prevent coolant from circulating when stuck closed or prevent the engine from reaching its operating temp when stuck open.
In this video, Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro's Professional DIY'er, replaces the thermostat on a VW Mk5 GTI.

Wow. That is a pro video. Well done. Great help.
I would love to see you replace an ABS ECU from VW/Audi, mine is located on the right side of the motor under the windshield closed to the FAP ... 😭😭 The car is working great, just i don't have abs/esp ...

Hi i have a question, not to this car, but the BMW F30 N20 Engines, they made a revised timing chain guide, which is white, original faulty one was brown, say this was replaced with the new white one, after 15k miles ish would the chain guide change colour to dark brown, or what colour would you say it would be, i bought a car a while back that has receipts that timing chain was done, but the guide is dark brown, so im trying to figure out if they actually changed the timing chain or just made fake receipt

With about 15k miles, there should be at least three oil changes; if done at that rate and on time, the guides should not be dark brown. A little tinted from the oil is fine, but they should still show to look newish.

@fcpeuro It would be very appreciative, as many Q7 user are having issues doing this so called simple job. But it seems like it's a special tool that's needed as the 45 degrees left turn to take this part our is not happening. Not for me anyways!
