Citi golf water temp sensor housing
Howsit,
Forgive me for the topic title but I really don't know what this part is called..
It's looking tired and after driving water sits on top of it which I know can't be right. The car is driving daily so it needs to be changed out.

Re: Citi golf thermostat thing
Looks like some sort of pressure release valve or is it spitting out the water temp sensor?

Re: Citi golf thermostat thing
Ah looks to be a secondary "port" to attach another temp sensor
replace it with a single port housing

Re: Citi golf thermostat thing
Thanks for the replies guys !
Ok will go to GW soon. Can this be a quick fix in means of not having to drain the coolant ? Just a matter of unclipping and swapping the blanks ?

It might leak some, just check that there's no airlock afterwards. The overflow into the bottle should have a steady stream while the car idles.

Re: Citi golf thermostat thing
Wait for the car to cool off before doing this. So before starting it in the morning is the best.
I would just change the whole housing but that's just me.

From looking at the pipes replacing the whole housing I would need drain some coolant. Also is there a gasket that would go with the new housing with some kind of sealant ?panic-mechanic wrote:Wait for the car to cool off before doing this. So before starting it in the morning is the best.

Re: Citi golf thermostat thing
housing comes with a O ring gasket, a smear of sealant will help as well but not necessary

Re: Citi golf thermostat thing
DuP,
Draining the whole thing is not complicated, but if you do, you have to get rid of trapped air afterwards. Here's my procedure.
With the engine cool, open the coolant reservoir and loosen the lowest of the three hoses on the water pump. Position a large collection pan under the pump, then slowly pull the hose off the pump and collect the coolant that flows out. When the flow stops, re-connect the hose to the water pump. Now exchange your temperature sensor housing/flange. I also pour my collected coolant through an old but clean towel, to filter out any dirt or rust.
[Edit, 17/01/2018: Now refill the coolant reservoir as full as it will go and close the cap.
correction - fill the reservoir about half-way, and keep the cap open.]
Start the engine on a fast idle (about 2000 rpm). At some point the thermostat will open and the coolant level will start dropping. [Edit: Switch off the engine or at least ]drop the speed to normal idle, [Edit:and open the reservoir carefully. If you stopped the engine, re-start on a normal idle.] Add the rest of your coolant to the reservoir as quickly as possible. If everything is in, close the cap and continue at fast idle until the radiator fan cuts in. You should be done now. Perhaps you need to add a bit of coolant the next morning, depending on how much you spilled at the pump.
Be careful when adding the last bit of coolant. Sometimes, when the engine becomes hot, the level will start to rise suddenly, if there is still an airlock, and you can lose a lot of coolant if you don't close the cap quickly. Keep the cap ready, and just close it and continue running the engine, until the level drops again. If necessary, add the last bit of coolant after cooling down the engine.
What you don't want to do, is heat up the engine with an empty reservoir and then suddenly pour lots of cold coolant in there. Try to keep replenishing it steadily as it gets drawn into the engine.
If you do the draining on a cold engine, the thermostat is closed, so you shouldn't need to worry about the heater circuit, because you only drain the front part of the cooling circuit. (Radiator and front pipes)

Re: Citi golf thermostat thing
What I did after my water temp sender bombed out in my VeloCiti, I bought 2 new senders and used the 2nd to block the extra hole. Reasoning was, if it bombed out again I can just move the plug to the 2nd sender.

Re: Citi golf thermostat thing
Thanks for your write up VAG Fan this is going to help out soon. I've seen water stains on the side of the radiator where a hose goes from the bottle to the top left of the radiator, the battle was actually empty and took a liter of water. I tried to take the hose off, undid the clamp but it's like it has been glued on. I don't want to break it off either so I just tightened it up but it's loose. I think I'll get the blank off for now and then next month new radiator and housing.VAG Fan wrote:DuP,

Re: Citi golf water temp sensor housing
I have a 1.4i mp9 an I would like to know does the water housing get a gasket on or a sealer when connected to the head with the bolts Corz mine comes with the Oring for the housing but after tightening the bolts evenly, water still comes a tiny bit through ?
Thanks

Re: Citi golf water temp sensor housing
Always pull theno-ring out, then fill the slot with sealant thenplace seal back on there and bolt it on. Never leaks.

Re: Citi golf water temp sensor housing
Hi,
Need some help please.
Water temp housing/fitting on front of cyl head dont seal at all. Overtightened bolt and damaged some thread.
The housing GW sold me would work on my old head but it seems the re worked head i got from 8v has a slight recess in the center.
This prevents the o ring to seal.
Do i have to ask for a different type vw front water housing?
Kind regards
Swaerie
