    • @bockhouse

      You know that race cars run straight water because the antifreeze is to slippery and can cause hazardous situations? You are correct the boiling point of coolant is way higher than the boiling point of water but the Carson be running more than 190° anyway so if it is doing that you have a way bigger problem than your boiling point being 30° lower....

    When dealing with these VW's (and Audi's), first thing to check is the coolant lever sender plug - unplug the connector from the coolant reservoir and look inside. If you see ANY signs of coolant, the coolant makes its way into the wiring; this requires - at minimum, replacing the electrical wiring harness - worst case, it gets into all the modules and the PCM and prevents the car from running. The fact that you also have a LOW COOLANT light in the dash makes me suspect this is the case. Old coolant reservoirs - when it gets all cloudy - are suspect of leaking through the coolant level sensor even more so. If you want to do a more thorough scan of the electronics, you need to get a VAGCOM simulator - this is hands-down the best diag comm program for the VW / Audi platform.

    • @catfisher420

      The coolant level has nothing to do with this issue and coolant still looked low after he added some. It's a bad ABS module.

    Intermittent loss if speedo

    • @andrewkeen5135
      @andrewkeen5135 3 года назад +2

      Intermittent loss if speedo, abs,traction control, etc. Dash lit up like a Xmas tree. No comm with abs module. Started with powers, grounds, fuses all ok. Checked ohms at wheel speed sensor connectors all ok. Next step I was planning was to jack up vehicle spin each wheel and see if it was generating voltage (2 wire connector, uses magnet to tone ring on axle to make voltage. I think it's called a passive system rather than an electronic system that has its own voltage. Before I did, saw a vid suggesting power washing the back of the wheel as crud can get in there and interfere with wheel speed sensor and tone ring reading. Tried it. It worked. Everything having to do with wheel rotation, abs, cruise, traction, speedo,odom, dash info center is now working fine and problem has not returned. Hope this helps someone.

  • @alasdair4161
    @alasdair4161 3 года назад

    Great video again.. I've found another common failure point with VW modules is their PCB via's are really poorly plated through and are prone to corrosion. As the boards are multi layer it makes repair almost impossible, not only are there hundreds of via's, although the bad ones are easily spotted, there is no reliable way to ensure through connection repair. i've tried many different techniques with a low level of success (I've done decades of board level repairs). The corrosion is likely from moisture being drawn in when the vehicle is switched off in a damp or cold environment, the high operating temperature causes an exaggerated contraction of air inside the unit which despite having a high IP rating still allows outside air to be drawn in as it cools, and this occurs in a cycling effect over time. VAG module via's are also not conformal coated inside the duct so corrosion is guaranteed, and the plating thickness is only measured in nanometres... so they are pretty well guaranteed to fail.
    The modules are a pretty well balanced vehicle life limiter along with all the plastic engine internals that fail in the 150k+ range, or multi mass flywheel, trans etc.. really they are junk cars.

      🧐so I just sold an 08 rabbit CEPA swap that had 264000 on the BGP 5cyl. Before we put the TT RS 5cyl turbo motor in it. That was my 14th VW.... Ironically the only one I ever had that was a real shitbox was an 08 Touareg that was meant to be sold in Europe. 4 MKII jettas, a MKIII a B3 a B5 a scirocco, a corrado, the treggy, a CC, a Dasher, and a 68 type 3 notchback. They're really not any different than anything else everything has its issues. But everyone I ever owned I put over 200,000 mi on it the worst one I think probably was an 87 rabbit convertible that the bottom of the windshield leaked so when it rained your feet got wet... They're still way nicer way better mechanically and way more comfortable that about 95% of American cars .. which are either a made in Mexico (Chrysler) be made in Canada (Chevrolet) or c Mazdas (Ford)... And the bodies last way longer. It's way easier to change a piece of electronics and it is to change a quarter panel or rocker panel and everything electronics in them is either Bosch or VDO... I think you've just encountered cars that weren't taking care of

      The Mk5 Golf, in Canada and the US only, switched to the Rabbit model name, reverting to Golf from Mk6 onwards (and sadly not being offered as of the Mk8 except in GTI and R form). The model year in which each mark is introduced here is generally two years behind the European introduction.

    Just a note on speedometer issue:
    In the first scan u had code p0501 for VSS performance which didn't come back after the erase and 2nd scan, I think because u did't do a 2nd test drive.
    Another thing is the abs w.diagram only shows 4 Abs sensors and no VSS which tell me that maybe it is connected directly to the ECM leading eventually to only replacing the VSS and not the entire ABS module.
    Though I am not really sure there is a VSS in the first place.

    If you want to hear a funny story about a VW Golf then read on. I'll try to keep this short.
    I just needed a vehicle for a month until a pal had found me a replacement so I bought a Golf for £50. Yes that is correct, £50. It was a rust bucket but it ran. I never exceed 40mph because it would crab around corners, maybe the back wheels were about to fall off! Only two of the electric windows worked, the drivers and one of the rear windows, no problemo! In fact one of the rear windows was wedged a piece of wood. So one winters day I went to town and parked at the ferry terminal, when I got back it was dark and windy.
    As I unlocked the car all four windows opened, WTF! And just as I got in there was a horizontal hail storm. It is usually windy here. Hail the size of peas were bouncing off my head :( I managed to get three windows shut and drove home with the other one open, it was a cold journey. I found out (thanks Google!) that if you turn the key in the door lock the wrong way for over one second it will open all the windows. Who the hell thought that this was a good feature! And how the heck did the non-functioning windows open?
    For those who are wondering how I could drive such a vehicle, there are no police here. There are small advantages for living in the middle of nowhere.
    Edit: I almost forgot. I said to the local freight guy that we could split the scrap value 50/50. He got £70 so I got £35. That car cost me £15 for a months driving, now that's what call a bargain!
