The throttle control is not operated with a mechanical wire. But it is a computer controlled system in which the engine ECM controls the engine speed, after getting the data from various sensors. The idle speed adjustment is carried out with special tools and equipment.

SOURCE: need relay location

relay 1 engine compartment
fascia 2 relay 18 (if it is diesel) relay 10 (diesel again) and this could likely be the best candidate relay 4 fuel pump relay/glow plug relay

Now for the fuse box locations ... looking from the front of the car... the engine compartment fuse box is on the left side up near the firewall.
fascia two is the lowest of the two fuse panels on the drivers side under the dash to the right of the steering column (left if it was a right hand drive).

This took about 15 minutes to locate all the possible fuses, be that as it may if i missed it don't hesitate to ask me again.

SOURCE: How does one change air filter in 2002 VW Passat 1.8T?

vw caper is correct. you will need to loosen the 2 philips screws on the air box then lift up the air box towards the fire wall. Be sure to refit the air box lid correctly.

replace your fuel filter first. If that does not do it, then try an air-flow meter. (if the check engine light is on it may be an airflow meter.

SOURCE: Where is the temperature sending unit on a 1999 VW

VW Passat & Audi A4 1990-2000

Motronic System
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is mounted in the water outlet on the back side of the head. If you vehicle still has a original VW part it will be black in color with a four terminal connector. This device signals the engine management system with the current coolant temperature, the ECU takes this information and uses it to control other such circuits as the idle speed, knock control system, oxygen sensor circuit, exhaust gas recalculation, and fuel tank venting. It is also important to note that if at any time ECU does not receive a signal from the ECT it will substitute a value of 176°F (80°C).

VR6
The Engine Coolant Temperature sensor is mounted in the thermostat housing. The body of the sensor will be blue and the sensor will be blue and have two terminals if it is an original factory VW part.


The engine coolant temperature gauge uses a heat sensitive sending unit to transmit an electrical signal to the gauge. The sending unit is a heat sensitive variable resistor that is located on or near to the cylinder head and threads into an engine coolant passage. The sensors are a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) type. As the temperature increases, the electrical resistance of the sensor decreases. As the coolant temperature changes, so does the resistance of the sensor. The gauge is calibrated within the operating range of the sensor and interprets the resistance value to display the coolant temperature.On models produced prior to 1994, the engine coolant gauge temperature sensor is a single wire terminal sensor.

Beginning with model year 1994, the engine coolant gauge and the Engine Control Module (ECM) temperature sensors were combined into one sensor with 4 terminals. The basic operation remains the same in that their resistance decreases as the coolant temperature increases, however the actual resistance values of the 2 sensor circuits are different. The electrical connector of the 4-wire terminal sensor (1 and 2) is keyed to prevent improper connection of the sensor's electrical circuit.

WARNING When trouble shooting electrical components, always consult a wiring diagram for the particular year, make and model to ensure proper test equipment connection and diagnosis. Failure to use suitable test equipment and testing methods could permanently damage the electrical component(s).

I drive a vw passat 1.6l 1999 model. How can i remove the air lock in the water system? please help.

There is a bleeder valve usually located near the thermostat housing or somewhere on top of the engine. open valve until you get a flow of water. I advise not to do this when the car is at running temp or higher do this with engine cool.
