Car doesn't warm up no mother how long you drive it its 1.9tdi 130 and it only just lifts off the bottom after a while, is that the CTS or thermostat?
are you saying that channel 49 on the climate only ever showed 30c?
Could well be the CTS, but you need to do some proper diagnostics, leaving a diesel idling for a long time is pointless as they run so cool.
Heres what to do. Get channel 49 up on the climate, and go DRIVE the car. If you have vagcom then connect that and get it to display the coolant temp from the Engine controller as well so you can compare them. Dont go onto a motorway, or any other fast roads, find somewhere around town where your constantly accellerating and braking, so you can get some heat into the system, and keep an eye on the climate display.
If it just sits at 30c and never moves, then the CTS is likely faulty.
If it starts to climb (even if it doesnt actually get to 90) then make your way to a faster road, and sit cruising at 50-60mph and see what it does, if it drops back down again, then your thermostat is the likely culprit.
It is the coolant temperature sensor "cts" don't know what's the problem 100% in my case. Will try to flush the heater matrix tomorrow and see if it helps.what is your problem?I'm also have similar problems, excuse my ignorance but what is the Cts, haven't quite got the lingo yet
Same mine.Temp gauge seems to be taking forever to get up to 90. Only noticed on my way home from buying it yesterday. Was giving it some on the motorway but looked like it was only going up to about 70ish
So, been for a decent drive round tonite and temp gauge was between 50/70 and seemed to dip a little when I gave it some. Temp gauge will rise to 90 when its stood still on idle.
Are we still thinking thermo
Eurocarparts about £8Where's best place to get a thermostat. Cheapest I can find is around 35 quid
If you go on Eurocarparts you'll be able to put your reg Nr and find out how much does it cost for your carIs that the same prices for petrol and diesel as mines 2.0 tfsi
