Volkswagen Golf - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 4, Golf IV, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Thermostat
Operation: Thermostatic valve replacement

In order to access the thermostatic valve, the alternator must be removed. Before removing the auxiliary belt, memorize or note the passage of the belt between the various pulleys; then loosen the tensioner with the 16 mm wrench and remove the belt. At this point it is possible to unscrew the fixing pins of the alternator and disconnect the socket and the cable with the eyelet connected to it. Then disassemble the tensioner to access the other alternator fixing pin to be able to remove it completely. Once the alternator has been removed, it is possible to access the sleeve in which the thermostatic valve is located, immediately behind the alternator fixing plate. Therefore unscrew the two fixing screws of the plastic sleeve and extract the thermostatic valve to replace it with the new one. Then proceed backwards for reassembly, fixing first the alternator and then the tensioner.
