Coolant Temp Gauge...
« on: 11 February 2012, 17:07 »
Someone came to buy my Golf.
He turned up with his mate.
I took them out in my car, and he was like WOAH it's a 90 degrees that's way too hot.
I said... no it's meant to be.
He said no it's not mine only moves up a bit and when I floor it it goes all the way down....

Now I'm not missing something. But it is meant to be at 90 isn't it.

And he's being a retard isn't he!
I said there must be something wrong with his but he didn't believe me and tried to get me to knock the price down as it's running hot.
