Good evening.
Golf MK5 2.0 GTI -BWA - Thought Id swap out the thermostat this weekend as the car will not climb to operating temp. Did all that, refitted piping and alternator and thought job done. However, upon start up, the car idles but come to 2K rpm, she bangs back down to idle. I also have Steering ESP and ABS lights on the dash.
First thing, I'm wondering whether there was an earth wire I missed on the alternator, or did some coolant get into the electrics? I took the alternator out again, in search for any missing connections, but only live and the two pin plug could be found..
The map sensor had a bit of coolant splashed on it, so I had this apart, cleaned with contact cleaner and left to dry.
The fact the car was fine before, I feel that something is missing or caught during the work before. Any ideas will be very gratefully receieved!
