Hi guys.
Well I read that the temp was supposed to sit at 90 deg. And when I bought the s3 I swear it did (only owned it a month). Anyways. Now it only sits just over the second line and at highest in the middle of this and the next (one before 90 deg). Sorry not to sure what this temp would be. It does seem to drop off slightly when idiling.
It also seems to take a while to warm up to it.
The car is an S3 1.8t 2000 plate
From the service history the water pump and thermostat have both been changed back in May. I changed the thermostat again just to be sure but still the same problem.
I think the coolant temp sensor has been changed too, as it green. Thats if Im looking at the right thing.
I was looking on the right hand side oh the engine, on one of the pipes. Does that sound right.
Im not sure what else I should be looking for so I hope you guys on shed some light on things.
Cheers
Dan
