Awesome! My 2002 is stopped up as I type. Thank you! Are you using G12 coolant or regular antifreeze?

we ran distilled water for about a week then flushed and ran G40 Zerex from Oreily

Dude ,as a tech with 30 yrs wrenching ,your better off pulling all the lines ,and replacing the plugged ones & flushing it & installing a new t-stat and be done,otherwise your not getting all the junk out and allowing a problem to become a repeat offender ,lol…just my two cents..it may not be a cheap fix and sure we can make it run fine,but for how long ? Just saying ..

most definitely.. a lot was done that wasnt filmed over the course of having that beetle. thermostat, all aluminum coolant flanges, temp sensors, flushed 14 gallons of distilled water through it before adding the Audi coolant, timing belt kit, motor mounts, front suspension, axle, etc. sold it a while ago. bought another 1.8t, hated the 2.0! goal was just to post vids that covered problems I couldn't find already on KZbin, figured I don't need to make videos other people already have or show you how to do what you already know how to do...
