Title: Anniversary golf tempreature 1.8t
Post by: hullyfour on 09 September 2013, 13:43

Hi,

Just bought a 1.8t anniversary. the temperature needle is shooting up to 90 then back down again.

What could this be?

Cheers

Does it hit 90 in traffic and drop when you are travelling? If so I reckon Thermostat as well.
