Hi, my friend just bought a 1997 1.8T A3. When we went for a drive I noticed that it takes a long time for the engine coolant to warm up. We drove at least 8km with outside temp at 27C and the temp gauge only just crept above 60C. To me this is too slow. In my A4 the temp gets to 90C within about 3Km.
Is this slow warm up normal on the 1.8T A3 from that year? If not what could it be? I suspect the thermostat sticking open. Would appreciate any opinions
Thanks
