Coolant temp and exhaust question...

Post by rizlarizla »

hi all
just got a B3 Passat 1.8 and I think i have a problem with my coolant or a temp sensor? Car is only 70k - but seems well maintained.

Whilst driving the car the temp sensor will always be above 90 degrees (past 9 o'clock on temp guide) and close to 100..is this normal? (I thought it should always be at 90?
> If I flushed the coolant and put in G12 (pink solution) - as I assume this is a better coolant ..how much should I put in / ratio mix?
> If the above fails and I need to replace a sensor (maybe it is faulty) - is it that blue sensor? (is that easy to get a hold of?)

Finally I have a non oem exhaust in black looks horrible and rusty - any suggestions for changes? - I wouldn't mind changing to a sports exhaust but have no idea if it is worth it or not?
Thanks for any help :)
