Engine temp sensors my next move i reckon, if thats not it then its going to have to go to VW an have a look at that Water Pump, an yeah its got warrenty so if the pumps faulty they will cover the parts an labour costs,

So do you guys not think theres any connection with it being ran low on oil an now overheating?

Cheers guys

Maybe, you could have damaged the engine.

How long was it run on low oil? The 2.0 TFSI engine needs good oil and plenty of it all the time.

I think it is damage to the engine but its very strange how everything still works fine? I have been giving it some pedal often an theres no loss of power
Very very strange

The Oil light came on and i drove about 2-3 mile to the nearest garage to buy some an filled it up there, so not long really, but im no mechanic haha

Was the warning light a level or pressure indication

I once refurbished the crank on a Cortina for the sake of a faulty oil pressure switch.

If you can, I would get the gauge checked with VCDS before paying out the labour for a new pump to be fitted.

And don't take long with it. The headgasket will not like the additional expansion and contraction it is suffering from not running at a stable temp.

[AlexEDITION30]

Im not sure it was just an icon of an old oil boat, like a gravy boat ha,
And how would i go about getting the VCDS checked mate? Do local garages do it? I know its need sorting asap before the head gasket starts to give up :/
Thanks guys

There are two temp sensors. You can compare one to the other with VCDS.

It will cost you £20 or so to get it read . Ask on this forum if there are any members that would do it for you.

Any updates here mate? Hopefully the overheating issue has now been resolved!!
