hi all.
was driving home from work tonight taking it easy as normal for the first few mins until the engine warms up so as not to damage the turbo. When the coolant temp rose to 90 degrees i drove home as normal (slightly heavier foot). However, just as i'm about to get home the coolant temp display on the dash falls right down as if the ignition had just been started and the engine was cold. has anyone else experienced this problem before?? i've looked in the haynes guide which says a faulty sensor should be tested and replaced by the vw dealer, i hope it ain't likely to cost much as looks like a simple fix, but we know what dealers are like. i haven't had any warning lights or sounds so i'm sure i haven't ran low on coolant. i'm popping in the garage tomorrow to get headlamp fixed so will ask them to check this at same time?? any idea how much this will cost ??
many thanks...... :grin:
