How to Replace Thermostat on 2008 New Beetle, the Fast, Easy Way.

[@pedroariza7892]

The best vide on this procedure I've seen, and Ive seen more than I ever wanted to see, lol. Thank you. For some Jettas, there are an additional two bolts you need to access from the bottom of the car. They are next to the oil fill tube. Once again, best video on this topic!

[@atarifun2007]

Thank you so much, this beats having to take the front and side bumpers off. Great Explanation of mostly step by step. i appreciate it.

[@williamglasgow6864]

Thank you for this video. It was still a pain, but saved me the $700 I was quoted to replace the thermostat on an 09 Beetle

Great video !!!!! Thanks for the tips saved me time for sure!!!!! Great explanations and patience.....

[@crazysexycool180]

thank you,

[@andresmiranda1926]

My friend, thanks for the video… question, is difficult replace the lower housing, the one that goes where the thermostat is placed… thanks in advance!

[@3rdflrretro176]

thanks a ton for the video!! well done and great explanations, you made my job so much easier!!!

[@osvaldoesquivel5633]

Thanks for this great video, Do you have a video showing how to bleed the cooling system?

[@crazysexycool180]

Not yet

[@DanTheManIOM]

I bought the OEM thermostat, now, does that small "vent" go on bottom or top ? Long story, I have had that f n intake on and off tonight 3x.

[@boomerguy9935]

This is a great video but this job is not as easy as it sounds. The intake manifold needs a special tool (CTA 8541 14" x 6mm Hex Bit Socket) to remove one of the bolts. I bought one for my mechanic to do this job and he said he doesn't think he could have done the job without it. It's less than $20 and is worth it, even if you only have to use it once because of the time and tears it saves.

[@MrWjblake]

Nice job making the video. Will be doing this job tonight. Thanks again!

[@ThaHandyman1212]

Thanks for your video. My question is can I remove those two bolts from engine motor mount on car ramps instead of using jack stands? Thx again your a life saver. God bless you

[@ThaHandyman1212]

I have a 2007 Volkswagon Beetle 2.5

[@Kidiu]

I was quoted $750 for my 2007 bug thermostat to be replaced.

[@samueld.8786]

You installed the thermostat upside down, the jiggle valve always goes up at the 12 o'clock position. If the thermostat is not clocked correctly you will never get all the air out of the cooling system

[@crazysexycool180]

it only goes in one way

[@dwaynekeeto1573]

Brother thank you a whole lot , I was going to take apart front , god bless brother

[@crazysexycool180]

Glad it helped Thanks for the visit please subscribe

[@ThaHandyman1212]

At 29:50 the old thermostat air bleed valve was facing diagonal left down. Eric the car guy video said that valve should be facing on top so air can go thru. Maybe Volkswagon made a mistake on install?

[@bobpalmer4740]

so it takes 10 mm for the rail but it looks like 8 mm for the intake can you confirm that size? i'm having a time locating 12 point torx wrenches.

[@osvaldoesquivel5633]

My 06 beetle doesn't have the check engine light on, but the red temperature light comes in intermittently. What do you think it could be? Thanks for your great video.

[@crazysexycool180]

No idea

[@luisperotin01]

[@titusdavis5729]

Excellent video and information.... Thank you.

[@rossewing1605]

Thanks goodness I’m working on the turbo diesel

[@nickl582]

So if you coolant temp does go up, but CEL is on and temp sensor flashes, what would that issue be? Same error code btw. Thanks for the video!

[@crazysexycool180]

check coolant level first

[@mandyhome5206]

Bahahaha "about the easiest part of this is removing this cover.. well now that that's done.." 😂😂😂 awe man.

[@jamesstibbens1910]

I have a 2008 to my check engine light just came on yesterday in the code is same as yours but I don't have my temperature light blinking ????????

[@slyguyaction]

Great video. Did you replace the headlight bulb while you were there?

[@siamean1]

My 2.5 beetle is reaching 90k miles. Should I change it as a preventative?

[@franciscoresendiz86]

[@awesomemike8219]

By chance what are the torque specs on the Thermo and Intake bolts?

[@tsvw2007]

What are all the bolt/Allen bolts sizes on the intake manifold

[@LJones69]

Can this also be done on a 2006 VW Beetle?

[@sierramerchant3080]

Would this be the same method for a 2006 new beetle 2.5 ? Convertible top, not that that matters.

[@crazysexycool180]

if its the same engine

[@willf5768]

Knew had to be away to do this. Thanks 😁

[@cuitlahuaccortes9960]

Where Could I find the mechanic manual, that you show on 3'45"?

[@alexanderteambillywynn6900]

Peace of cake I saw another video where the guy removed the motor mount and lower the engine down end got it out under the car. Just saying you don't have to take the whole car apart.
