    I am quite sure the thermostat has opened ok. Also, I can't fit 9 liters because I didn't drain it 100%. I did put in about 6-7 liters.

        There is no way it didn't open after all that driving.

          I agree, it would have boiled up.

            Hi guys. Changed the thermostat today, refilled the coolant(managed to fit 6 liters) and I can't get the air out of the system. Hooked up VagCom and temp rises to about 95C and won't go up, but thermostat ain't opening either. Thermostat housing hose is barely warm, so is lower rad hose. Been out for a drive, nothing changes. Scared to drive it now.
            If you checked that your thermostat opens, but your lower radioator hose is cold, I suggest you check your radiator.
            I had this issue on my RS2 and it cost me a head gasket cause i did not check it on time.
