so .. when i got my 1.9 TDI B7 at the start of the year it wouldnt get up to temperature, so in march (i think) i replaced the thermostat and all was good, it would get up to 90 after 5 / 10 minutes and stay there no matter what ..
however, yesterday i was stuck in a carpark for 1 hour and 15 minutes!!! as you can imagine, i was barely moving, maybe 1 cars length every 5 minutes .. the temp never showed as fluctuating, never went above 90 .. but when ive drove to work this morning, it never even reached 70, baring in mind its a 25 minute drive away
is it possible the stationary traffic has ****** up my newish thermostat? caused it to be stuck open or something?
