wtb: water neck off of cylinder head
« on: December 13, 2004, 02:33:05 pm »
Hopefully somebody can help me here. Ive got a water neck (i think thats what its called?)off my 86 Jetta TD that the upper radiator hose and the bypass to waterpump hose attach to and the water neck is bolted to the cylinder head by 2  10mm bolts. i need a new one. Mine i found out is cracked. I thought the seal was going but found out why its leaking. If you have one for sale email me at [email protected] and let me know how much including shipping for it. Paypal is preffered since its fast. Thanks!

They're pretty easy to get.  I know personally of a junk yard here in Ontario that has about 6 of them (all attached to MKII Jettas).  Probably also some in Golfs in the same yard with the same piece.  And there's a place called "frisco" auto parts nearby that has maybe 20 or so old 1.8 and 1.6 diesel engines sitting in the back room, again all with those necks on them.

i think that there are 2 types, one that made out of plastic, and ones for rabbits that were made out of steel/aluminum.

try and get the latter if you can.

Replace all of them at once or you'll just be wasting antifreeze in the long run.  They only cost 15CDN each new at the dealer and you'll need 2 or 3 of them if your thermostat has a plastic one.  Also buy new antifreeze, bolts, studs, nuts, washers, clamps and some sandpaper.  This will run you about 60 bucks in total but it is well worth it as you're car will be that much more reliable.  Get the parts guy to do a pressure test on your rad cap too.  If it looks to be bad ask him to test the new one as well...it'll read the same as your old one if the tester is borken. :)

here in NE Wisconsin, the junk yards are for total schnit when it comes to parts for VW's and Audi's. Its hard to find parts. Thats why im on the internet asking everyone in VW groups. I wouldnt think there expensive. Its just i have no availability to parts.

Sorry, no extra water neck here.  I would recommend going to a wrecking yard for a replacement, or perhaps you can Marine-tex or JB-Weld your old cracked one.

Why can't you just have a dealer mail you the parts?  They are an instock item and UPS isn't too expensive if you ship within your country.
