- My 1999 VW Golf developed a coolant leak that I found out was common. I fix it and discover other leaks that I must address.

I love keeping up to date with your MK4 videos! It builds my confidence to start working on my Volkswagen again!
Thanks for hanging out with me! 😉Good luck with yours.
Our MK4 has leaked coolant since almost new from various locations. (Silly plastic coolant parts, factory water pump, etc.) I've replaced a lot of parts, but just top if off twice/year. It's now twenty years old. :-)
Yeah, I'm experiencing the same. I just had a part "fixed" but a few days after it was done, the level dropped and it leaked again. I'm just keeping an eye on it regularly. Car has never overheated. Car is 25 years old, so this kind of thing is kind of expected.
Nice vid - I had the same problem- easy fix nice 👍
Do you have a mk4 playlist I really have enjoyed watching a few of your videos. I think the other ones I was watching from you was suspension and rear axle work
I just did complete suspension and breaks front and back with rear suspension and bushings as well
Thanks!
I do. It is linked below.

What engine code is your Golf 2.0? For example: AUM,AZJ, AZG etc
I’m having a same issues on coolant leak and it’s a hell of a mystery to find what causes the leak in the first place!
Yeah same bro. My valve cover also leaks I think
@@GlobalDesignHD I found out where mine came from, its the temperature sensor housing has cracked! No wonder why It leaks so badly and keep top it up daily!
