Car Forum / Volkswagen / Water Cooled Volkswagen Cars / January 20081998 Jetta GT thermostat.
Hi all, does anyone have an idea as to how much I expect to spend to replace a bad thermostat in this car, 2.0L I-4? Thank you all. > Hi all, does anyone have an idea as to how much I expect to spend to > replace a bad thermostat in this car, 2.0L I-4? Thank you all. Autozone says 11.99 for an OEM 192F thermostat. Thermostat O-ring. 1.59. Dave Don't forget about that special G12+ VW Coolant needed! If it was a later model I might say that it could be a bad/broken water pump depending on the symptoms.

Thanks, i meant parts and $labor.. Well from the dealer here in Chicago this might be your cost. Parts possibly $85 (thermostat, O-ring, coolant) Labor possibly $180 (1.5 hours @ $120 per hour) Total $265 If you do it then you might spend $50 on parts. Another shop might charge you $140 total parts and labor. These are just guesses on my part and I may be waaaay off. ;-) >> Don't forget about that special G12+ VW Coolant needed! >> If it was a later model I might say that it could be a bad/broken water >> pump depending on the symptoms. > Thanks, i meant parts and $labor.. > Well from the dealer here in Chicago this might be your cost. > Parts possibly $85 (thermostat, O-ring, coolant) [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >>> pump depending on the symptoms. >> Thanks, i meant parts and $labor.. Thanks again my friends... >> Don't forget about that special G12+ VW Coolant needed! >> If it was a later model I might say that it could be a bad/broken water >> pump depending on the symptoms. > Thanks, i meant parts and $labor.. Drive over to, or call your favorite mechanic. Tell him/her what you want. Ask both questions, thermostat/o-ring/coolant, then, aforementioned to include a new water pump. Get at least 2 more estimates from other locations in your area. Dave |
