the wiring in the temp sensor is probably dodgy, undo the sensor/reconnect it 2 or 3 times and it should read..... did you replace the sensor for a genuine one not an ebay jobbie as they last around 5 minutes
ARZ K03s, Oettinger Side Skirts, R32 front, Carbon stage 2, Forge 007p (yellow spring), Forge Actuator (yellow spring), Pipercross panel filter with DSG parts, N249 and N112 deleted, SAI deleted, Carbon canister deleted, Rear wiper deleted, Long Life turbo back custom exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, VR6/G60 clutch kit, Creation Motorsport TIP, Catch can, 'Wellycooler', K04 charge pipe, S3 ported inlet manifold - looks pretty standard on the outside though :)

Hi thanks for the reply. I replaced it with
A OE one. I will try and unplug. But was thinking
Of putting new coolant in as its looking very
Rust colour do you know how to bleed the system?
