My thermostat failed when I bought my ed30. No fault codes, just temp gauge dropping when coasting.

Part was around £30 from VW. . . Fitting yourself is not fun at all - basically the whole front of the engine has to come off. I gave up and got Awesome GTI to do mine. The tech said he hopes to never do another one of those

Exactly what I found out... Quoted £224 all in by the loa all vw dealer so worth it for the amour of work needed

chris s:
A quick update to this issue... As I eventually worked out the problem I had was down to a knackered main thermostat.  Cost me £224 all in so not cheap but the gauge is upto 90 after 5mins and is rock solid! Not noticed any better mpg and I drive like a granny on my commute so can't comment on performance but expect both to be better
