Hi everyone,
The engine management light came on and I noticed that when I go on motorway the temperature drops.
If I go on manual and leave the 4th gear on, the temperature drops to about 75 degrees, but goes back up if i go on 6th gear but not all the way to 90.
If i'm in traffic it stays on 90.
I noticed for a couple of months that it took quite a long time for the car to warm up, about 5 miles of urban roads.
I'm thinking thermostat or temperature sensor, but this is purely based on my experience with my VW passat.
Probably totally unrelated, but last friday I collected the car from Audi that fixed a dent in the rear bumper and changed a parking sensor following a small rear end in traffic.
What do you think?
It's an Audi A6 C6 4F 3.0L TDI quattro without dpf.
Thanks
