      Why is the sensor not like the older ones that could be removed.
      The throw away of a bottle only adds to the pollution..
      Old school is by far still much better

    Of course, the idea of having a numbered sensor light coming on that tells you the EXACT nature of the problem(s) never occurs to the automobile manufacturers. These turkeys might as well install a sensor that does nothing and then install a second sensor that comes on when the sensor that does nothing malfunctions.

    From the comments showing the amount of VW vehicles and range of years this is common and VW doesn’t care. The same thing happens in my 2019 Atlas the first cold day it saw and has never stopped. VW Technician said it’s a touchy sensor, problem is when you go to resale your car no one wants a car with a trouble light, whether it’s correct or not.

    My 2007 Golf V GTI had the same symptom, and after I drive it and shut the key off and turn it back to on position while driving the light went away. The possible explanation was when I first started the car was cold, and coolant level was low, and most importantly, the street where I parked was had a valley on the ride side of the road and my right side tires were in the valley, so the car is tilted towards the right.

  • @shanequacollins9096
    @shanequacollins9096 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    My vw has had this issue for many months, but my car was never actually over heating, so I figured it was just a weird sensor thing so I stopped paying attention to it. Last week I was driving around and pulled up to a friends house after the light has been on the entire time (about an hour) without turning off which never happened before. Pull up to the house and my car is smoking tons of black smoke from everywhere. Got it towed to a shop, they did an oil change and fixed the broken pipe that was leaking all of my coolant then filled up my coolant. Got it back, was in my car for maybe 10 min and the light came on again. Let it sit for a couple hours, got back in and drove for another 45 min and light never turned off. Hopefully it’s a bad sensor and not something I should be worried about this time:/

    I've seen this a few times.
    Wrap a wooden dowel with fine sandpaper and rub the facing surfaces of the two wires. A deposit builds up over time and disrupts current through the liquid.

    • @Ninoziss
      @Ninoziss 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is just happening to me on passat b6. But when i check the coolant level at first it is almost at the bottom of the bottle but when i open the cap to pour some in the coolant start rising and it comes back at the normal level, and then dash light goes off and everything is ok for days or weeks sometimes. Does that coolant bottle has some vent for releasing the pressure and it get stuck or it is something else that should send coolant back in the bottle. My mechanic checked and everything was ok at that moment so he just proposed that i change coolant bottle. Do you have any idea is that bottle problem or it could be water pump or something more sinister. Any advice would be appreciated.

  • @AudiophileTubes
    @AudiophileTubes 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I've had the 'STOP: Check Coolant' light come on for the past 2 years, but only when it's cool outside. When the weather is warmer, from about May through September, the light never comes on. The car runs in the normal temp range, with no overheating. When I start the car, and the light comes on, I drive it for about 2 or 3 blocks, then shut the engine and restart, and the light goes away! The car is a 2003 GTI VR6.

    • @AudiophileTubes
      @AudiophileTubes 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Can anyone respond to this? The 'check coolant' light still comes on, but only during the Fall through Winter months, when the temperature outside is lower! It never comes on during the warmer Spring or Summer months. I've been driving the car for years like this, with no problems. The engine temperature range is always normal. Could this just be a bum sensor?

  • @user-gv2gz9qs4t

    Why all these stupid sensors! I love tech, but it seems so pointless when one could just check the coolant for any issues and if there is already a gauge showing whether or not it is overheating.... they always seem finicky and just add headache. Perfect it or just throw it out..

    Nope, none of that. Just had mine fixed. I’m no mechanic but I can tell you what my invoice says, “Front crankshaft sealing flange is leaking and needs replacement due to mechanical defect”. Had it back a week now and no error lights and I can finally use my auto start. Happy it’s fixed not happy I had to speed my time and some monies so VW could fix their defective product. Hope this helps.

    There is a plug at the bottom of the coolant bottle, towards rear, that has a plug. The contacts of this plug can get corroded. Clean the contacts and problem will likely go away.

    @Hoppa12345 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    My golf MK4 also had this issue. started the coolant STOP sign on the highway. Pulled over and checked if there was coolant. there was and indeed it was circulating. Today the problem became even worse. The coolant gauge at the dash showed below 50C when the engine was hot. and it suddenly get up to 90 and then 130 till the moment it wasnt working at all. also the STOP coolant sign kept going on. With me it was the coolant sensor itself. Replaced the sensor all is fine now. drove 50 km without any issue now.
    So yes it can sometimes be the coolant sensor. Important to others... In this event no ECU codes were logged !

  • @angelisone
    @angelisone 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    ATG suggestions:
    Check the actual temperature of the coolant from the Coolant Reservoir (melon size).
    With a Thermometer respect to the Thermometer Car's Gauge (dashboard).
    If both reading are about the same...
    Change the Temperature Sensor Unit (right side top of engine) /or Thermostat.
    Do the Temperature Sensor replacement first.
    Thermostat & Water Pump replacement are no fun.
    FYI: ATG suggests & stated if car over 8 years old or 94K+,
    Replace the following PM's to prevent overheating, blown head & missed fire & poor milages:
    * Complete Timing Belt Kit
    (water pump, belt, tensioner, gaskets & so on)
    * Change all belts
    * Temperature Sensor
    * Thermostat
    * All Coolant Hoses
    * Spark Plugs
    * Oil & Filter?
    * Clean the Coolant Reservoir's Sensor (looks like to metal rods)

    • @disgruntled_llama
      @disgruntled_llama 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      "Complete Timing Belt Kit" for a coolant sensor problem...that's a dealer's solution if I've ever seen one.
      Maybe start with cleaning the coolant reservoir sensor, then do the timing belt second.

    Edit... My temperature warning indicator went off after a few minutes while I was checking coolant levels and whatnot

However nearly every morning I see the gauge go over 90c and then back again.

    I'm having a like problem in my 2012 Passat TDI 2.0. The light comes on steady but the car heats up to 190 and stays consistent. The thermostat and water pump are fine. If I pull over and stop and restart the car, things are ok. I've got a code checker and no codes show. Could this be the coolant bottle? Is the sensor located in the coolant bottle? Thanks

    I have a 2010 chevy camaro. I took it for an oil change. they said there is a small leak and the best way to find the leak is to steam clean it and add dye and drive it about 40 miles and come back. I left and drove a few minutes down the road and parked. I was in idle for literally 20 seconds when engine overheating warning came on. I turned off car and called them, told me to bring car badk. guy checked car and said most likely a wire got a little wet when doing the steam clean and he stated you could even smell 'water' in the air. he said car was fine. drove home literally 2 minutes when overheat came back on, parked and turned off car but fan kept running under the hood. called the guy again. suddenly he says that my car may really be overheating and to bring it back and leave over night, blah blah. Cant it be the same wire is still a bit wet? suddenly I have to leave it and most likely pay a hefty price to check it out. have you ever heard of this? he said the guys are not very neat when the do the steam tests and that is why some wire got wet.

    This happens to my 2022 taos. I’ll start it to idle on a cold day and when I get in there is a red caution and a red temp warning. The thermostat however still shows a cold engine. I restart the car and problem is gone. If I don’t, light stays on for entire trip. But thermostat never goes past half way.

    I have a Volkswagen Polo 1.6 2003. Started getting low coolant level warning (coolant light flashing). I checked the coolant level. Then I replaced the battery (it was due anyway). Then I replaced the coolant reservoir (i.e. the level sensor which is integrated into the bottle). And the flashing coolant light still persists. Any ideas what could be the problem?

    Hi . I have a 2012 jetta 2.0 S automatic trans. there is a beeping sound and the trans light comes on 3 times flashing and it goes off, it does this frequently and randomly. But it does not effect the driving or the gear changing . I looked it up and its says on manual that the transmission gets overheated. Which i strongly doubt cuz some times it does that as soon as i strart the car. Does any one has any idea what it might be ???? I changed trans fluid and filter 3 months ago as i was told by the mechanic but it didnt change anything, lately i have noticed that it mostly does it going up hill but almost never going down hill . If any one have the same problem i would really apreiciate your help.

    Our 2006 dodge caravan was leaking coolant all over, we took it in a shop they put a new water pump in and a new radiator then a few months later the tempture gage said it was over heating but did’nt stay lit up on the temp gage it went down after a few seconds so we took it in again to same place and they said it was the thermostat so they put a new one in and after about a few days of getting it back it started doing it again …it would only show over heating and as soon as we pulled to the side we would either shut it down for a few seconds or even let it still run in park and it would go down and drive it through out the day off and on and it would’nt do it anymore just one time a day and it would only do it after driving it about 3 miles or less and then it would’nt do it anymore even if we drove it off and on during the day >>> what could that be please help could it be a blown head or a blown head gasket? ty

    i have a subaru i just brought last month. nd now my horn was beeping by its self a day after i got my front brakes and routers done because it was sweeking . so i had to get my horn taking out so now i need a new horn, and everytime i start my car, my cooling light is on for like 4 mins then its off and my engine makes this loud noise when i first start it. nd when i was on the high way 2 days ago nd exiting the highway and my car started swering , i feel like this is too much for me because this is my first car and everything is going bad and the dealer said nothing was wrong with it, i test drove it nothing was wrong but a day later everything way bad. i just want to know whats actually wrong so i dont spend my hard earn money. and the h and c isnt on the subaru dashboard so is so difficult to know about the cooling light
