Cooling

[dog]

Got caught in traffic today, guage hit 90 and stayed there til i started to move again and it cooled down, then when randomly driving and temp at 80 ish the temp warning light came on so i reckon it must be a faulty mfts!

Will VAGparts have these?

Cheers

they can definetly get them for you, give them a call and should be able to give you the part number too.

90 is as high as it should go, maybe a touch over but thats it, the fan then comes in a super speed and cools it all down.

so whats wrong with mine then? ive seen it at almost 100 at times in traffic, only see it below 90 when im going fast on motorway.

any idea's ?

Could be a partially blocked rad, or a dodgy thermostat

Mine sits 2 notches below 90 when driving (gradients are wierd on these cars), and occasionally gets to one notch over 90 when the fan cuts in and cools her down. In the peak of summer i run the air con when sat in traffic, this pulls in the main fan on slow and this cools the car down.
