Hot engine
« on: 20 September 2011, 18:18 »
my engine gets really hot after driving just about 5 mins, not even that. The manifold gets very hot and you can feel the heat when standing outside with the bonnet closed. the temperature gauge is normal though and does not show any signs of over heating  :huh: Could this be a maf problem? as I also seem to consistently have the 17705 code, even after changing all the pcv pipework.

the gauge on the dash is coolant temp not oil temp... have you checked what temperature its getting to on VCDS? it should be around the 88-93 degree mark when at full temp. Mine was running 102-105 at points it was the thermostat.
