Re: Hello everybody!

you need to replace your coolant sensor with the new style ( blue or green top i forget the color)

Is this covered in TB kit?

Re: Hello everybody!

I would say that the coolant temp sensor is probably fine and that the thermostat is probably failing. Yes, the t-stat is included in the TB kit. The coolant temp sensor is not.

I replaced it with TB service. Thanks for pointing out, that old sensor seemed to be one of problems.

Haven't posted in while... Wanted to thank Jordan for his great help regarding my TB service. I bought parts from him, including some other parts, and got help regarding installation, and everything was perfect. I would recommend business with him anytime!

Here's my TB service album: http://picasaweb.google.com/cavlovic/TBService

Worked on it with my uncle, and it was the first big thing I did on my car! Never done any mechanical work It took us 10 hrs total, 3 days work. I didnt have the tool for TB service, but we marked positions and replaced belt that way. Car runs much smoother now.

Thanks again Jordan!

Also didn't mention that I'm all the way across the ocean, in Europe, and it was international shipment

What could be wrong with my car - fuel consumption is very high now, sometimes up to 12mpg, and I don't drive it hard? O2 sensors? Something else? As far as I can remember, vag-com doesn't give me any errors. Is there something that can be measured with vag-com (some blocks??) that could lead to a faulty part?
