Operating Temperature Not Reaching 90
jaye2992:
Right guys....took mine to VW for the thermostat today. Dropped it off at 1pm.... get a call at 2pm saying that its going to take longer than they thought and probably won't be done for today. They told me its because they did the quote wrong and only put labour down for changing the in-line thermostat and not the main thermostat. So right part wrong labour.....nothing is ever straight forward! So no car for work tomorrow... and the bill will be more than the original quote! Whats your opinions on this? Anyone else had this with a garage before? Depending on what they say i may go ape s**t as i cant be affording a big bill :scared:

Got mine back yesterday and it now stays at 90 solid after about 3 mins from cold :). They also took the liberty of changing coil pack under a recall warranty thing. All for a cool £200. Well worth it. Car seems even more snappier now :). Glad I did it.

And that was the main thermostat at a Vw Main dealer. Thought I got a decent deal.

Sounds promising then as mine never hit temp even after 20mins haha! Did you pay £200 all it then? Main dealer? I got quoted £162 but looks like it will be more now....

202 to be precise. Mine did sit at 90 for a while in traffic. Never longer than a few minutes. Sat at 70 most of the time. VW in Mallusk (Northern Ireland). With a courtesy car for the day. Left in at 8am and done for 4pm :). Can't praise them enough.
