2/19/16 update: Found the issue, the thermostat was held and secured by silicone someone put on after it was intact. I took the old one off and cleaned the $H*T out of it by removing the silicone and other stuff off the front seal. once that was done I didn't "over tighten" anything like that. Also the water pump someone decided to strip 1 of 4 bolts and I attempted to helicoil the new one in place and it held so next what I will do is time insert once I rip it apart again. For now, no leaks I am still praying for now. __________________ V2 in progress. Volkswagen MK6 GTI |
