Same on my 15 ran new ground eng to chassis but coolant heater still malfunction

Thanks for this video, I just tore my wife's car apart expecting the foam to be gone (it's not great, but not the problem) and then realized the door was not moving with the cable. I had no idea where to go next, thinking I may have to pull the entire assembly out. Thanks a lot, you saved me a bunch of time and hassle!

This was the fix for my Chevy Cruze 2014 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

These and most GM engines are NOW GARBAGE...IN QUALITY...WIRING, SENSORS, ECM, PCM.....SHOYLD BE FRAUD. FELONY FRAUD. 4s, 6s, v8s .....trash

Where did you get just the cables at? I have the same problem but have only found the regulator or the motor

Hey TDI Guy. This is excellent detective work. Thank you for posting. I am experiencing this same problem in my daughter's 2014 Sonic (with the oil light on). A slight amount of moisture was found in the middle ECM plug (just like yours). However, no moisture was in that thermostat housing sensor (like yours). I am wondering if you knew the location of other coolant sensors that could be sending coolant through the wiring harness.

Thank you nice video

What is the sensor that was needed

I had my oil changed in my 2013 cruze, never had an issue before today and I usually change my oil but I had a free oil change coupon at our local car dealer. Right after the oil change I had this issue I am researching what it could possibly be.

Oh my god you are a life saver i was just about to order an oil pump too, decided to check this out and yup you hit it square on the head of the nail, saved me tons of money and labor, now its just a sensor lol

thanks found the same problem after we changed the coolant housing

You are sure lucky catching it in time

Did your coolant fans come on ? Mine does the same as yours intermittently

Common sense aint common

Tdi guy, I did the fix for the blend doors on my mk4 gti. I now have hot air blowing all the time. Can you tell me where you bought the blend door bushing in your video please? I noticed one of my doors was loosely moving as you described. Thanks.

if it's really gummy use alcohol to clean it and then regrease

Your are absolutely incredible thank you! One of my customers had this issue and I used your video to figure it out for them :) Now i know what to look for in the future on these engines.

great video

What is the part number for both levers, previous owner attempted this repair on my mk4. It's missing the bushing and both link arms

Dude! You just solved our problem! Thank you! Subscribed!!!

Did this end up fixing the problem? I’ve got the same thing going on AND I replaced my thermostat housing months ago.

It was -30C and mine jammed up, thanks for the video.

Having the same issue

That's a bullseye. Thanks for the helpful vid.

Thanks. Mine seized up in the winter. It’s the cold that makes the grease stop working. Just blast heat on it with your car heater and it fixed it for now. Come nice weather I’ll clean it

THAKS FOR THE HELP... DIRECT HIT!

Great troubleshooting. Thank you for making the video. Was the oil light coming on randomly, or under certain conditions?

I wished that I had watched this video 500 miles ago in the 100 degree desert heat with my 2005 VW TDI heater stuck on high, and with my dog in the back seat! That was a miserable drive to get home. I watched your video the next day then I reached in and pushed the pin bushing back in place and was able to get my AC blowing cold again. You saved my summer because I can temp fix it in the cold position and just do the correct repair in the fall. Thank you.

Save us man thanks

I spent 2 hours trying to find the issue on mine, sure enough the coolant temp sensor was bad on mine too

Are these pins in the MKV Jetta’s too?

Got the Chevy Cruze same motor little different. Got P0420 code and found I got oil in my center plug of the ECU. Replace the the oil sensor all good and clean the plugs with some electrical cleaner. Got 5k on it and NO codes😀

Wow... I think this is my problem too. I replaced the thermostat recently and now I'm on the side of the road with an oil pressure light. I checked the connector and sure enough there was moisture in it. I'm gonna tow it to the house to be safe, but I'm pretty confident you just saved me a ton of money.

Or you can just spray it with WD40 :) easy fix. Thank you

Thank you

I'm having the same exact issue with my sonic... Changed the sensor... Gna try this next. The got the light to stop by greesing up that ecm plug.. But it came right back.

Dorman strikes again.

What year is that I got no heat on a 2015 Volkswagen Jetta

That was it on mine. Brand new thermostat was leaking from the sensor. Thanks for the information

Did you have to remove ac compressor to replace oil pressure switch or is there a way around it?

Does anyone know the part number for the sensor?

Same problem with my daughters 2015 1.8 sonic. The thermostat housing connector was wet and we had just housing. I put another one in it. Still have the oil light on and beeping. Engine runs and drives good, no clanging or clicking. I took the oil filter off, check the screen and drain valve. All fine. I even changed the oil pressure. Nothing changed it. I'm done with this pos

I got 2015 sonic same thing on oil pressure light I been driving with this wire unplugged I been blowing out with air compressor every day after work where it plugged into the thermostat it been a little wet I started get a code 84 twice which is throttle body when the wire was plugged in thermostat haven't had code 84 since I have left wire off not sure if this was caused by the antifreeze get in throttle body also but tracking light came on lost of power engine light staying on cause wires not plugged in but I'm kind of thinking this might be a problem of the antifreeze messing up the throttle body also like the oil light

I have a 2015 sonic and am experiencing the same issue, the ding sounds are awful, but am trying your method

This is my brother and to all the comments yes the fix has worked the car has been running good ever since.

My car just did.same

Liked your video....I am about to check into the problems my wife's 01 Jetta wagon has with heat and air....lots of foam has blown out so pretty sure the foam is toast. While I have yet to work on mk4....on the mk2's I have had very good success with aluminum duct tape in place of the foam

I have the same problem 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Porke no en español

Did you solve your problem? I have a similar problem with my chevy sonic 2012 1.4 turbo. I have the P0599 code going on and off intermittently. I already replace the whole thermostat housing with the sensor and the same code is coming ON and OFF. Thanks for the video. I will be checking for something like you had.
