2.5td temp gauge reading cold.
« on: 04 August 2012, 10:29:00 »
Hi all i have a W reg 2.5td and have noticed that the temp gauge hardly moves of the bottem when driving. When stationary it well slowly go up to around 80 put then back down when driving again. Would like to try and get this sorted with winter coming up might need the heating  :). Thanks

Thats what i was thinking. Thank you. It going for a service soon so will get it changed then. Other than that the car runs great for a £500 ebay bargin. Diesel magic was a great help with starting and running.

About £15 for the stat, about £10 for 5l of GM Red antifreeze, and about 10m work, if that stupid viscous fan comes off easily.
