Hi guys,
Long time since I logged on here last time. Good to be back
I got a new car. Audi A8 with an RS2 engine. Dynoed 520HP @ 1,8 bar. Built by Jonus.
The problem:
Car gets up to temperature @ idle. It shows just under 90 degrees (usually) while idling. Once the car starts moving the temperature drops to 70ish degrees.
The cabin heater works great when it's at idle and shows 90 degrees, but it blows cold after a bit of cruising (when the temperature goes down).
I think the problem is the thermostat, but something weird has happened before:
Sometimes I let the car idle for a while (cold start) before I start driving, and the temp shows 100 degrees, but the heater won't blow hot air. When I start driving the heater works, and it works after that if I let it idle.
Does this sound like a thermostat problem?
Thanks guys
