Is it possible to replace the wiring harness for the Temp sensor?

seems like most of those aren't rly that bad problems but def need to be delt with. if you did all the work by yourself, you're looking at about 1500 in parts give or take. if you're a super noob at working on cars, on thing you can do yourself and save some money is replacing the expansion tank. if you have some experience with wrenching, you could deal with all those except maybe the cam seals. if you can't aford another car i'd fix it but if you can just sell this one cheap i guess.

I think im going to go ahead and try to fix most of these problems.

1. install coolant flange
2. new resavoir tank with G12 coolant
3. still looking for the wiring harness from the cts to the ecm
4. valve cover gasket

I have almost no experience with auto-repair. I do have the bently manual, laptop + vag, and some online guides to help me. And you guys too.

Can i do this?

Still looking for the wiring harness for the ECU from the CTS.

Any ideas?
