Got a couple of jobs and not enough time to take off work.

- jetta overheated & leaking coolant somewhere...maybe waterpump
- jag needs new brake pads/rotors installed (already purchased)

Would appreciate a referral for a mechanic to come by, quote, & do the work. looked at a couple of places in the area that do this but feedback was hard to come by

Depends on your locale. Where you at? I can do damn near anything, but I'm not close to NCSU anymore.

I can tell you where the jetta is leaking but I'm not willing to do that job currently.
I can do the brakes for you any time that it isn't supposed to rain. (unless you have it in a garage)

where is the coolant leaking from? driver side or passenger side?

11/11/2009 2:09:52 PM

i couldn't tell. after i replaced the coolant and drove it a short distance, the temp warning light came back on and i had to drive it back immediately. all of the coolant i had replaced was gone. (with no clue as to which side it was) I looked under the hood and this was the only thing that looked out of the ordinary: a hose that was detached. It looks as if it broke off inside the part it was connected to. I included some pics...

beethead...replace many of them damn heater valves on VWs?

11/13/2009 3:29:43 PM

not particularly. the coolant flange on the engine is the most common cooling system failure besides the water pump.

11/14/2009 12:06:24 PM

how about coolant temp sensors

11/14/2009 12:13:06 PM

oh yeah.. that too for sure

11/15/2009 2:12:07 AM

pretty much everything on that car is a [fail]
