Unsure what to do next with my 2006 New Beetle TDI - 1.9 Diesel. About a month ago code P0128 was read on my check engine light. I replaced the thermostat ( not fun) and the Engine Coolant Temp Sensor. Still coding P0128 . I thought maybe the plug was bad on the Engine Coolant Sensor so I replaced that. Then I replaced the engine coolant reservoir figured it needed because of age. I tested the water pump by removing the return hose to the coolant reservoir and put the hose end into a jar. Started the engine revved to 2000 rpm kept it there and had return of collant into jar - so I am thinking the water pump is ok. I am at loss at what to do next. Maybe I put the new thermostat in wrong ? Is there a sensor in the housing of the thermostat that can go bad? I have done thermostat replacements before. Any ideas ?
