I have found the thermostat- it is located at the right end of the engine block- up high- follow the radiator hose from the radiator to the engine- the thermostat is right there. There are 3 allen-head screws (5mm hex) that attach the thermostat cover to the thermostat housing. The issue I am having is that I can't reach on of the screws. I need help.

Try checking the banjo valve, its the line that brings fuel to the carburetor, you may want to look online for a diagram and list of how to properly remove the necessary parts.

if it fires then dies, you have to reset the alarm system with the key/remotes???otherwise you need to plug in the diagnostic computer(saves hours of "fun")

peobably, check the fuses. you can test them with a multi meter for continuity or just pull them out and see it the metal tab has blown. If not a fuse check the connector at the switch.

Hi there, you should be able to get those tools at any car stereo store. Of you are unable to procure the correct tools you can use two, long thin flat head screwdrivers. The screwdrivers will be tricky but they will work. That'll you for the question, have a great day!

IMPORTANT NOTE:
You must have the security anti-theft code for your VW radio from the car manufacturer, or from a VW dealer!
You can find the radio code at: http://www.radio-code.co.uk/

The sequence of programming for 1995 VW Passat radio is:
1. Push simultaneous "SCAN" and "RDS" keys until on the screen will appear "1000" displayed.
2. Release keys. No more push on "SCAN" and "RDS" keys because otherwise number "1000" will be considered as first safe code attempt.
For example: we have the security code "5079". Then:
3. By the no.# 1 key you will set up the first safe code digit. Push 5 times on the no.# 1 button. The "5" number will be setted.
4. By the no.# 2 key you will set up the second safe code digit. Push 10 times on the no.# 2 button. The "0" number will be setted.
5. By the no.# 3 key you will set up the third safe code digit. Push 7 times on the no.# 3 button. The "7" number will be setted.
6. By the no.# 4 key you will set up the four-th safe code digit. Push 9 times on the no.# 4 button. The "9" number will be setted.
7. Then push again simultaneous "SCAN" and "RDS" keys for confirm this safe code. On the screen will be displayed "SAFE" notice. Release keys! For few seconds a radio frequence will be displayed. The radio is now ready for use!

If a jump start turned your engine over the battery needs replaced. Then have your alternator check to make sure it is charging the battery correctly.

There is a poor contact on the wire terminals on your ignition switch, have that changed. Check also stater solenoid.

Hello

I have a solution for this

What seems to be the problem?

Press Ok, Accept or replay so we may get started

My name is Bruce

You'll need to buy replacement hatch struts and replace them. You can find these at auto parts stores, or by searching on the internet.

They come off by carefully twisting the body of the strut to the side until it comes loose (if they are the type that don't have a nut holding them in place). Do this on both ends, and I would suggest using a pair of pliers wrapped in an old T-shirt or duct tape that will keep from damaging them. Use the old ones for practice, and that way you won't damage the new ones when you put them in.

You can probably use a broomstick to hold the hatch open while you do this. Wrap the ends in duct tape to keep it in place (sounds crazy but it works LOL).

any VW group car that has the rad drained MUST be vented of air when at operating temp,undo the top heater hose when hot and vent......(wear rubber gloves)

on this car you have to take the whole tank down,BUT WHY.as you can get to the pump and the sender from the boot there is no need.

When a batterey no longer holds a charge, it is time for a new battery. What is the date on yours? If it is older then 48 months ... start looking.

Thanks for your interest in FixYa.com

Waterpump?

You starter solenoid is bad, change it out, better yet change the whole starter. Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/sean_54c3a3dc48a7773c

ENGINE ELECTRICAL for 1995 Volkswagen Passat GSX look up:
FIRING ORDERS NOTE: To avoid confusion, always replace spark plug wires one at a time. Fig. 1: 4-Cylinder Engines Engine Firing Order: 1-3-4-2 Distributor Rotation: Counterclockwise
Fig. 2: 6-Cylinder Engine Engine Firing Order: 1-5-3-6-2-4 Distributor Rotation: Counterclockwise

The fan should still run if the engine is very hot,even after most cars are switched off. The battery may be on its last legs.Try this test, before you switch off the engine,put your heaters on full speed,open your windows if you cant stand the heat lol.This should help cool the engine and help shorten the time your engine fan needs to run to bring down the temp. If the battery is still draining,the alternator may be the culprit. This can be tested with a multi-meter.

Most likely it is coming from the water pump. It has a drain hole where water flows through when its seals wear out.
