A) get up to 90 degrees after a long time?
B) stay at 90 degrees once it does reach 90 (if it does at all)
C) not reach 90 degrees at all and floats around between 50 - 70
Do you have an OBD reader or access to VCDS?

A bit of a mixture. It will reach 90 but only if left to idle (i.e. sat at traffic lights or parked)
but say driving at 60 in 6th on an A road it will sit somewhere between 50-70 as you said. Then if i am to get home and leave it running it will get back to 90 again.
Unfortunately I don't have access to VCDS but might take it into VW Auiditech as they are close to me.

Cant recommend VWauditech enough, theyre great guys. I personally think its your main stat. If you have a DSG then you will have three stats in total. One main and two inlines. The main regulates the temperature overall, the two inlines simply help it to get to temp quickly when you start the car. If you have a manual then you only have two; main and one inline.
It will be roughly 225 including parts and labour to change the main stat alone. See what they say. I have VCDS if you need it in the future

Interesting, thanks. Im manual so a little more simple. I should think its worth doing. Doesn't seem to affect the car but i don't like not knowing. Where about are you if you don't mind me asking?! Could come in handy one day :happy2:

When I bought mine the temp needle sit in the correct place 90ºC. Later I bought a PolarFIS Adv. and noticed the engine temp only reached 74ºC, right the temp that makes the needle reach the 90ºC. The engine temp only reached 90ºC when sitting in traffic for a while.
Since my Ed. 30 is a MY08 it only has 2 stats, a main and a DSG. I made a full mechanical overall and my mechanic found that the DSG stat was malfunctioning. :smiley:

Hi guys.
Ive been thinking about getting an induction kit for the GTI. Not really for any sort of performance benefit as I'm not even stage 1 yet and exhaust is all stock (for now). So really just after the noise. So looking at a ramair. Seen quite a few of you go for the oversize (90mm) kit even on K03's. What would be better, this or the 70mm kit? Prefer the look of the 70 as theres not jubilee clips everywhere and its cheaper, but so many seem to go for the 90?!
Either this or some lowering springs :laugh:
Cheers

Did you sort out the stat problem?
