Temp gauge
Vwgtiking:
Just wondering how long it should take to warm up. My mk4 and Audi A4 was always at 90 by the time I get to work which is around 5miles.
Does the thermostat need replacing or is it normal in the mk5 gti for temp to take a while to reach 90?
xjay1337:
It's pretty well documented if your TFSI takes a while to warm up it's usually the thermostats. It has 2.
3 if you have a DSG.
I like later model ones have 1, or 2 if you have a DSG?
Unfortunately I cant find the thread in question, they matey went very detailed.

I've recently come from a Mk4 Gti to a Mk5 Gti. Since the colder weather has started in the mornings I find the Mk5 takes quite a bit longer to warm up than the Mk4 did.
When it wasn't as cold it got to 90 fairly rapidly. Like you, im not sure if its a thermostat issue or just a characteristic of the engine.

You can use VCDS and check the engine temperature. My Ed. 30 had a failed DSG thermostat although the temp gauge reached 90ºC. I only found out when I fitted a PolarFIS Adv. module and could see that my engine was working at 74ºC. It only reached 90ºC when stopped.
