Change the inline stats (one extra one if you have DSG)

Here is my thread on the re-plumb

You will also have inline thermostats being an early GTI.  Used to have the same issue and kept changing them as they failed every couple of years on me, until I re-plumbed the car to the later design where VW did away with the inline stats

Mk5 General Area / Re: Temp gauge dropping when heaters on
« Last post by matius344 on December 03, 2025, 11:54:36 am »
So my issue is the needle drops when I turn heaters on
Both thermostats have been done and temp sensors using genuine parts, while driving the needle doesn’t drop, the needle will only drop at idle with heaters on


I got the same issue.

Anyone ? Oher ideas than Thermostat or temp sensor ?

Hello Everyone.

My GTI is not warming up when the climate control is turned on.
Every morning I have to turn off the climate control panel to get the engine up to temp and then once it reach 90 degrees I can put I can turn it back on and to Automatic.

I have changed the thermostat to OEM and its still same.

Any other ideas ? Blocked heater matrix ?

The car is manual 2005 ?

Just to resolve this, CH-Rs in 18x8.5 et47 will NOT clear 986 calipers without a spacer.

After fitting my cruise control wire and stalk with coding, I made up a spare 5 retrofit  wires that I am going to sell on eBay

I also fitted some new seat lever badges as there appears to be a new style out these days
