what should the temp gauge be on an agu once warm?
mine only ever seems to hit dead on 90 degress once been run and sat in traffic for a few mins, when im driving it it seems to be between 80-85 degrees, never on 90?
-
change your thermostat
-
I wouldn't worry until it goes OVER 90! :grin:
-
Should sit dead on 90 as soon as its up to temp.
As said new stat time.

Have you scanned it for fault codes?
-
def the stat changed mine now fine
-
thnaks guys jsut got a cheap fault code reader so will get it fault read and grab a thermostat. i work in a morotfactors so it will work out next to nothing anyway :)
-
as has been said replace your thermostat and also maybe worth replacing the coolant temp sender (cts) at the same time as its cheap enough and is literally a 5min job if that :wink:
-
changed myne and the temp sensor and its sorted it, stays on 90 now when i drive about.
used to drop off when driving, but not anymore! :)

is worth changing both then really yes cheap enough from vw but give tps a try iirc i got a stat,o'ring,coolant temp sensor and clip for under £30 obviously some G12++ coolant on top around 3 litres
-
2 pin CTS from VW is £24
4 Pin CTS £32
Arent cheap, TPS must give good discount on that.
