Temp gauge dropping when heaters on

(1/1)

R88TTD:
Hi guys

I started experiencing new problems with MK5 gti
The temperature gauge drops from 90 to 75 then 50 gradually as soon as I turn my heaters on

Now the heaters are blowing hot air as normal
I asked about and some tell me the battery , some tell me the temp sensor and some are telling me the thermostat, water pump was changed about 15k miles ago so that ruled out

No head gasket issues , no over heating

Just wondering if anyone had this issue before Thanks

ZoliWorks:
If you want to find out if it's the thermostat or not, go on the highway, drive at a constant 130-140kph without the heater and see if the temp drops. If it does, it's the thermostat.

Octoparrot:
I'd put my money on the thermostat.

mjmallia:
Thermostat for sure
