Car was losing coolant and owner complained of a leak. We could see the general area of which it was coming from, but needed a closer look. We basically told the owner....once we took everything off......it was getting fixed....
03' VW Passat with a 2.8 v6.
Our problem......a cracked thermostat housing.
Had to put a tool on to hold the top cam shafts in place. Had to move the timing belt out a little, but still wanted to be safe.....interferance engine and all.
New one and thermostat in place.
Installation was in reverse order......blah blah.
All in all it took me the better part of a day, but it was my first one, and I took my time in order to get everything back properly.
