SOURCE: Check Coolant / STOP lights

If the coolant level is low in the expansion bottle then the light will come on and you need to locate the leak. If the bottle is full then the level sensor in the bottle is bad!

SOURCE: VW passat coolant warning light on

There's a level sensor plugged into the bottom of the coolant reservoir. Unplug it and clean the contacts with electrical contact cleaner. If that doesn't do the trick, replace the sensor.

SOURCE: My 2002 vw passat check

There is a coolant reservoir on the driver side of the engine compartment. You just need to take the cap off and add coolant to the max lever when the car is cold. Never open it with the engine hot. Then you need to use the coolant type G12. You won't find it anywhere else but directly from the dealer. Its very important to use the this type of coolant so you dont damage any component of your cooling system. You're be paying about $17.50 per galon of G12 or price may be different depending of which state you're at.

1. Your problem is cylinder head gasket out of order! You need to replace it. Stop the car and replace the cylinder head gasket. Check out also the cylinder head flatness when removing. Rectify if necessary the cylinder head contact surface at a specialized workshop. Fit a new cylinder head gasket with new bolts!
2. You have only oil leaking into the cooling system (coolant reservoir) because the oil pressure is higher than coolant pressure! It's normal this happened.
3. I will send you back the cylinder head replacement instructions with tightening order picture, and tightening torques for each step.

2004 VW Passat bad thermostat, not starting

Do you need to bleed coolant after replacing thermostat?
After replacing a thermostat, the technician should ensure all air pockets are removed from the cooling system. Otherwise, the vehicle will be more likely to overheat. After replacing the thermostat, refill antifreeze. Leave the radiator cap off, and start the vehicle.

It sounds like you have a leak. Go to any garage and ask them to put a pressure testor on top of your radiator cap. This will show were your leak is if any.

This car has 2 separate temp sensors, 1 for the computer and 1for the gauge, you need to be sure the engine is not overheating first, but most likely it's a bad coolant temp sensor causing a false reading..

VW Passat STOP brake fault warning

Check the fluid level in the resevoir. If it is low then top it up. However, it went low for a reason - maybe it's just because your brake pads starting to wear out or you could possibly have a brake fluid leak.

If your in any doubt have a pro check it out.

Check Coolant / STOP lights

It depends on the level of the coolant...
There is likely a float switch if it is checking for the amount of coolant. This would probably be in the overflow container off to the side. If the level is fine but the lights still come on, follow the wires from the coolant sensor back a little bit to see if they have come unplugged from the harness.
