  • ►Although the Mk6 TDI Golf burns diesel instead of gasoline, many of its engine systems are the same. Replacing the thermostat on a TDI engine carries the same importance as it does on a TSI engine, and its operation is critical to your engine's health. To perform efficiently and effectively, the engine coolant needs to reach a specific temperature range, and a failed thermostat can prevent it from reaching that range or prevent it from maintaining the range. Replace your TDI's thermostat during a water pump replacement and ensure your cooling system's health for the next 80,000 miles.
    Wrench along with Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro's Professional DIY'er, as he replaces the thermostat on a Mk6 Golf TDI.

    God bless, this video makes it look so easy. This is one of the hardest jobs I’ve ever done on a car. Everything is so damned tight. German engineering…

      Try replacing a DPF on a gen 7 golf TDI, without ramps. I'd do this 10 times rather than do that again!

    Brilliant video
    Just one important question
    Is it changing thermostat fixed the temperature issues like you said in the beginning of the video?
    Because I got the same problem on my VW CC 2.0 TDI 2012
    My car it's staying between 70-90C
    Up in down all the time
    Thanks for your help

    What is that tool bit you are using? Is it a triple square with a hex on the other end? ** I didn't need a special tool, got a regular socket and universal joint in ok.

      @@fcpeuro-media I meant for doing the lower stat. screw. Great video, it really helped my son an I to get it done. However it seems to be the secondary thermostat going to the trans. that is stuck open slightly.

      You can get triplesquare stubby sets that have 10mm hex on the other end.All you need then is 10mm spanner to undo it. A ratchet spanner is better!

    ALWAYS if you're doing this job either buy a genuine thermostat or a MEYLE - they are the original manufacturer. You don't want to do this job twice because of a cheap part. FEBI probably ok too.
