It does the thing where it drops when driving and sits at 90 in traffic. Never goes above 90 and just drops then returns. Annoying me now! Haha

Sounds like the issue I had: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,80793.0.html
Fixed with a new thermostat

Thanks :happy2: will do the coasting test too

think I'm in the same boat. Sits at 90 when sitting in traffic, once I get on to the motorway etc it drops to 70.
VW Quoted £200 all in with a courtesy car :).
Local Indy is £100 labour plus I have to source the part.
AwesomeGTI seem to be a bit of a rip sometimes.

Awesome GTI also forgot to plug my MAP sensor back in so it drove like a dog for 35 miles home :stupid:
jaye2992:
Not bad! Rang vw today and quoted 162 all in :o still can't believe it..... but going in tomorrow to double check it's the right stat and book it in!
Been to awesome gti before and they have always been great... just like to shop around for prices first as they are 45miles from me
lukemk5gti:
After a ridiculous quote from VW I decided to leave the sensor but now I'm doing 300mile round trips weekly and sitting at 75degrees so I'm sure my efficiency is terrible. Getting 31mpg sitting at 120km/hr for 2 hours. Is that right?
Booked into George Dalton on Wednesday for a few bits including this for €225 all in.
