Hi there,
For a few months now my MIL has been on. The code was for a thermostat being stuck open, and that was not a problem, fail safe, not fail fail. But today it started blinking and now i have lost a lot of torque. The engine it self seems unstable, as though it could be running on 3 cylinders, and it misfired at least once. Going up hills are troublesome for the little jetta, and it has just lost it's punch while accelerating. All i know is that the engine is bogging down. I know it is not an emissions prob seeing as the light is blinking, but can't think of what it is. perhaps it could be an ignition coil, mass air flow sensor, or exhaust?
any help would be appreciated!
thanks,
Thom
