Passat (B5) :: Check Engine Light - P0118 Error Code

I got a P0118 error code on my car. Looked up some things and most people were saying change coolant temperature sensor. I changed it 2 days ago and have not had a chance to clear the CEL. Its still on now, guy at Autozone would not clear it, said it was against company policy.

Will this turn off automatically once problem corrects itself? I went to Autozone and had them rescan the error, this time another code poped up P0444, EVAP(Evaporative Emission System)Evaporative Emission Control System Purge Control Valve Circuit Open. What this can be?

Passat (B5) :: V6 CEL Steady On / Code P0118

2001 Passat 4motion V6. Engine check light on steady, OBDII says P0118, which should be Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit High Input . What does that mean? Everything else seems normal on the car. Coolant temperature seems to warm up and stays normal. If someone says coolant temperature sensor, can I get a diagram showing where it is in the engine compartment?

Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: Code P0118 - Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit High Input

I went to my local Autozone today to have a code read and get the freeze frame data. I got a code P0118, Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit High Input. I called the dealer but they are out of stock on the sensor. Would it be a problem to use an after market sensor? I'm just concerned about the quality and accuracy of the sensor.

Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: Code P0118 - Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit High Input

Engine light is one for about a month and finally got an ODB II.

Today it reads the error code [b]P0118 which is [b]Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit High Input

The coolant sensor reads 45 C when the key is on "on" position at about 2:30 pm this afternoon and I start the engine about 2 mins the temp jumps to 68 C, are these some logical number?

Does it mean the bad temperature sensor and I need to replace it?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2003 - Code P0118 / Coolant Temp Sensor Replacement?

I recently got the solid check engine light for my 2003 VW Jetta 1.8T GLS. I used a bluetooth OBDII dongle and Torque Pro to pull the code P0118. This seems to coincide with my symptoms:

Car idle at start in park stays around 1100RPM then in reverse it drops to 1000RPM then back into park and it stays around 900RPM and keeps that at idle.

If I start the car then immediately reverse out of my driveway then the car has a very rough idle but if I wait around 5 seconds in park idle then reverse out of my driveway it is smooth.

My car dash thermometer stays pretty close to the bottom low then after about 4-5 minutes it shoots up to 190F and stays. Gas mileage is also very poor.

I looked up a tutorial which shows the parts needed and how to replace the sensor : [URL] .....

I removed the engine cover and believe I found the coolant temp sensor in the spot the tutorial shows. My question is if there is anything I should be aware of before attempting to replace this sensor that this tutorial doesn't cover? I took a screenshot of what I believe is the coolant temp sensor.

Passat (B5) :: Check Engine Light Is On - P0000 Fault Code

Check engine light is on and my code reader is giving me a P0000 code that is not listed in the Bentley's list of OBD II codes. My nose is telling me it's emissions related as the exhaust smells too rich. And the car is nearly stalling at idle. Suspect #1 is the MAF but the OBD II code does not support this.

Passat (B5) :: 1999 VW GLS 1.8T - Check Engine Light On / Code P1545 And P1818

I recently purchased a 1999 vw passat gls 1.8t. Initially the guy I bought it off of told me that when he was rebuilding the turbo he stripped the main shaft bolt, so it needed a new turbo. So I bought a k-04 off of ebay and installed it. The battery was dead so I replaced the battery as well. When I first tried to start the car it would start for a second kind of chugging and then die. I went to my local auto parts store and rented a scan tool and it gave me 2 codes. The first code was P1545 and the other was P1818. As far as how many miles the engine has on it I don't know for sure as the engine has been replaced and apparently no one knows how many miles it actually has.

After looking around online found out it could be a variety of reasons... gonna change spark plugs tomorrow hoping that's the problem... next cheapest fix would be the ignition coils... I'm just hoping its not internal, like piston or rings.

It's a 2007 Passat Wolfsburg 2.0T.... just went over the 53k mark.

Passat (B7) :: Check Engine Light On - Dreaded P202A Fault Code

Just got a check engine light last night. Pulled the code and got a P202a fault. Some digging indicates its the Ad-Blue tank heater module. TDI forum indicates its anywhere from $850 to 1K to fix. Also that it's not covered under any extended warranty (now there's a shock!) The cars going back to VW so that's not happening.

Is this one of the conditions that will cause the car to go into limp mode at some point? I know that happens when the ad-blue runs low. I'm in Florida so the heater isn't really a big deal. I need to use it another couple of months and I don't want to have this thing leave me stranded. If I have to I'll park it.
