I have a couple questions about the cooling system on my 2000 TDI Jetta.
1--Has anyone replaced the thermostat? I think that mine may be sticking and I would like to replace it. Are the thermostat and gasket items that are readily available at local parts store (Pep Boys, NAPA, Advance Auto, Auto Zone, etc.) or are these "dealer items"?
2--Where is the coolant temperature sensor located? Is that a difficult part change? Are these "dealer parts" or available elsewhere? (Just interested in this because this seems to be a problem with TDI's by reading this BBS.)
Thanks!
