I just bought an 89 Jetta GL for 200$ the Body was solid and it started up. It did however have a bolt broken where the Upper Radiator hose left the engine. It had a small coolant leak here. The car had heat at this time.
I had it fixed for 150$ They replaced the coolant sensor, housing, sensor 0-rings and the retaining clip, flushed and refilled the antifreeze.
After getting the car, it starts and runs fine, however the heat is barely warm now, a few degree?s warmer than outside. According to the temp gauge it doesn?t appear to be running any warmer than normal. I don?t notice any smoke while it?s running.
Is there some tests I can do? If I?m looking at a shotty head gasket what does that typically run nowadays? What else could cause this?
Thanks in advance :)
