Help! Help! Vokwagen Expert Needed In Surulere ASAP Thanks by Nobody: 9:19pm On Feb 19, 2016 |
Help Help. My sister vokswagen passat has issues. She initially started seeing oil in her radiator compartment. A mechanic said the radiator was bad. A new radiator was bought, later the gear stopped working. The mechanic said water must have destroyed the gear system cause water entered the gear oil. What can we do, it's a 1999 model automatic transmission. Who know a good vokwagen mechanic around surulere, like how much will it cost. Help, help, help. |

drjoshua2000: Oil incursion into the radiator, points directly towards head gasket issues or (unless someone poured oil into the radiator) How did the mechanic (Kazeem) explain the passage of water to the gear system from the radiator? Both issues unfortunately are independent and have gone bad at about the same time!!! Solutions - - - - - - - - - Looks like a better replacement gearbox or clutch kit and a much better replacement engine. |

State engine specifications, incase someone has a pricing structure (ie Volkswagen passat 1.8 T 1999) |

drjoshua2000: There was a rupture in the transmission cooler in the radiator, which allowed engine coolant to mix with the atf. That transmission needs to be replaced. Good the radiator has been replaced. Transmission work, and cooler line flush is all you need. The flush is important because you need to get rid of the contaminated atf that will remain in the cooler. 1 Like |

Lexusgs430: the kazeem knew that the heat exchanger in the radiator got bad, allowing ATF sent through the radiator to cool off, mix with water. as for blown head gasket, it would be water mixing with engine oil through water jackets, you would find that in the sump not radiator, a radiator would throw out water violently or in the least bubble if you have head gasket issues |
Re: Help! Help! Vokwagen Expert Needed In Surulere ASAP Thanks by Lexusgs430: 11:57pm On Feb 20, 2016 |
femicousim: The ATF fluid pipe, only passes through the front the radiator to cool down and returns to the ATF container, how did it magically mix into the radiator? Did the OP take the radiator cap off while engine is running, to ascertain a violent bubble or not? Just asking.......... |
