faulty clocks? vr6

[tweed]

posted a while back about water and oil temp.
water sits at 70 all the time, it's had new TS but I have noticed that the oil temp rises faster than the water. eg oil 70 water 60. My gti water temp gets to 90 before oil gets to say, 60. I know there different engines but still, surely the water temp should rise before oil?
When I start it from cold top hose will get hot and bottom will stay cold.
Petrol gauge takes ages to rise. put 15 quid in the old girl and it sat at 1/8, put 15 quid in the gti and get 1/4.
Speedo is about 5/7 mph out, and thats at 30mph. Well I have to drive at 35/37 to be doing 30mph.
Revs seem to be fine, but did see it go crazy in second gear but that was the only time.

Are these all separate issue or faulty clocks? I'm puzzled lol

I think they are all separate issues

In my old focus (piece of sh!te ford) when the fuel needle got down to the reserve, when re-filling it would stick. I used to have to disconnect the battery to get it to register. It only happened when it got down as far as the red though. Dunno if it was a duff sensor, but I flogged it like that as I didnt want to sort it as I hated the car anyway! Have you disconnected the battery lately? Just it will reset your clocks anyway so worth a try. Probs teaching to suck eggs but your water temp issue is most likely thermostat. Exactly the same syptoms as mine before I changed it. Only about 6 quid from GSF but just a bit of a ball ache of a job.

Really starting to think to break it up and buy a mk2 shell

wheel size and tyre size could be that fault

Can you get the car on VagCom and confirm the temps of the oil and water?

My water temp gets to 90 and the oil is still around 52ish then climbs faster to a steady 90ish.

Does the bottom rad hose ever get hot? - Could be a blocked rad if your new stat is working ok.

Was going to say what Forsh said about the tyres and wheels sizes.. Speedos normally go out the faster you go, is there a 5/7 mile discrepancy at 70?

The guage problem could be the sender, my GL had this issue. But from reading the above problems I can see why you are thinking its the clocks! Sounds strange...

Try this.

Turn the key to position two, hold the button on the left and quickly turn it off then back on. Display will display "1" push it til you get to "7" and you will have a digital rev counter.

The fuel gauge will move irratically. When it does turn the ignition off and on.

See if it moves to the proper place.

Mine does it occasionally after being empty.

Dont know if ive misread something but why dont you try and change the clocks and see what happens

[tweed]

Thanks for the replies dudes. 

Will try and check everything when I get a chance very busy at the mo.

Bottom hose gets hot when car is hot.
Speed is the out about 5/7 at all speeds
It has done a genuine 81,000 would like to keep the clocks and also want to find out what the problems are before I have to spend cash.
no vagcom  might just take it to a garage. Bloke I know is vw mad! got a pretty mental r32 at the mo, sick bastard.
