urgent help needed

[kradios]

Just got run off the road. Got back on it to go home, now my temp gauge is reading nothing, my gas gauge **** up to a full tank, and my temp light was screaming at me.

[Jettuh]

Did this guy hit you? or did you just swerve off and hit some rough patches?

[kradios]

Had to swerve off to avoid hitting him, must have hit a rock I guess. Stranded on the road right now.

[fastinradford]

check oil and coolant, make sure suspension isnt falling out. And make it home for the diagnostic.
You can't think straight on the side of the road. especially angry like you justly are.

[kradios]

Well oil and coolant are good, puddle of water under my car though. Temp gauge isn't working but temp light went off and smoke started coming through the air vents.

[kradios]

Now when putting my car in gear (auto) it takes a second, then shakes. Also, gas gauge isn't working now.

[GabeIV]

i wouldn't drive that home, get it towed. better safe than sorry

[u_dizzy_2]

Radiator alright? All hoses connected? Maybe the water pump?

[kradios]

Never knew you could hit anything and break your water pump.

[u_dizzy_2]

Anything is possible on a vw...lol I'm saying maybe something came loose as a result?

[kradios]

Guess I'm waiting for help, car is too low to get under it and check any of that.

[u_dizzy_2]

I hope it's an easy fix. Good luck!

[kradios]

Still waiting to be towed, now the temp light is flashing.

[u_dizzy_2]

You've been waiting for over an hour now! WOW! My temp light flashes and beeps at me if my coolant level is low (my temp gauge currently doesn't work either, new thermostat is going in this upcoming weekend).

[projektmk1vr6]

That's crazy! Did you get the guys license plate?

[Gettadopegirlcar]

That's crazy! Did you get the guys license plate?

i sure hope you got it, F'in A holes out there.

[kradios]

No time, he was literally in my lane

[projektmk1vr6]

****, that almost happened to me when I was down in St. Louis last year on the freeway. I hope it turns out to be an easy fix.

[Gettadopegirlcar]

i was driving home one day on a four lane road 2 going each way, im in the right lane suv in the left i go to pull past the suv, and just as my nose reaches his passenger door he starts pulling hard into my lane i lay on the horn downshift and pull past the guy barely stayed in his lane, he tries to pull past avoiding eye contact i kept right next to him for the next mile and a half fukcin pricks

[kradios]

Cancelled the tow truck and called a friend. Finally got home:



after calming down at home I have replaced my temp sensor (did nothing) and coolant gushed out while doing so, so now I'm low on coolant. Neither my gas gauge or temp gauge are working, and upon further inspection I at least blew my dog bone mount, while giving my car some gas the motor moves a lot, I'm going to assume this is causing the rough shifting as well (blew a mount in my mazda and that happened) my main concern is my gauges not working.

[kradios]

anybody got some ideas as to why my temp and gas gauge arent working?

[fastinradford]

vag com test can rule out the cluster,
maybe fuse

check in the dash, and on the battery.

My first thought would be the fuses, I'll check them in the daylight tomorrow after work. I don't know anyone locally with vag com, out of all my friends I'm the only one with a VAG car.

Where you from? Im in CT i know a few of my friends have vag com

[kradios]

Nowhere near that lol, Louisiana.

[kradios]

I'm looking at the fuse map, would that be the instrument cluster fuse I need to check?

[kradios]

Harro?

[kradios]

This is very frustrating, I don't know anyone with a scanner, and I can't make it to the dealership. How could my temp and fuel gauge quit working just from getting run off the road?

[peskyrabbit]

I recently ripped my dogbone mount off and yea thats whats causing the rough shifting. It actually smashed my downpipe cause the whole engine kicks back when you give it gas. I had a puddle of "water" under my car too and it turned out to be that I smashed my AC compressor.

[kradios]

Does the stealership charge to scan your car? What would be the name of the relay I need to check, I've been looking at diagrams since last night.

[kradios]

I was told to check the transmission speed sensor, I've searched and searched on the forums and looked where everyone has told me but I can't find the damn thing

[kradios]

still cant find it on my auto

[u_dizzy_2]

Stealership wanted to charge me $99.95 + tax to scan my car....I think not.

[Nineteen]

Sucks man. Glad you're okay, I probably would've let the ******* hit me though.

[kradios]

I found the sensor and it was fine, so still no idea what's causing my gas and temp gauges to not work. Checked all my fuses and they were fine too, although 2 of them had wires tied into them?
