    TDi temp gauge

    It seems that my problem is an electrical one. A friend of mine has a vag-com and using this to check the sensor reading, the reading fluctuates between 30 and 130oC, this would explain why the reading via the CC unit only reads 30oC most times. Going to get the wiring checked out so I'll let...

    TDi temp gauge

    had a vw tech have a look yesterday and the thermostat wasn't fitted properly, apparantly it "locks" into position, I knew it had to be fitted vertically but it also somehow locks by turning it into postion.

    update to the problem ..... Last night I happened to be stuck in some heavy traffic and I was worried that the car might overheat so what I did was squeeze the pipe going into the thermo housing as it was warm and for some reason, this got the gauge working, the 49 reading went up to 90+ from...

    Engine Choices

    Whilst stuck in traffic on the M1 last week I pulled up alongside an E46 M3 CB cab with 19" wheels, which looked absolutely spotless, and therefore very nice indeed. It put my slightly grubby silver coupe to shame. I turned to my left to give the thumbs up and show my appreciation at such a well...
