All sorted today and yes the thermostat was stuck open!!

All fixed and now heats up in a few mins and stays on the 90 (half way mark)  :wink:

Also got the system flushed replaced with vw G12+ coolant and a new expansion tank fitted now all sorted for the summer :afro:  :evil:

how much was all that all together then rich?

also has anyone had there mk4 go over the 90 (half way mark) if so what does that mean?

Parts were about £50 Plus £35 labour .

No never gone over the half way mark hmm bring her over when your next free mate and we can plug her in and see whats up.  :smiley:
