Hello everyone,
I see now a curious phenomenon on my Gti.
Let me explain, but hopefully, the engine breaks down quite often. Once the optimal water temperature is reached, if I drive the temperature is correct, around 80 - 82c °, Climatronic data.
The engine has always ventilated regularly but right now, it's stronger.
If I stop, the engine temperature rises gradually up to 2 minutes 87 - 88c ° and the fan goes off, quite noisy, as some have noted, to drop the temperature to 81 - 82c °. Then after 2 minutes, again. The breakdown occurs even if the climatronic is off.
Today it was about 25c degrees outside and I got a few ventilation after 2 minutes at rest. However, I have noticed during my research on the difference between 30 and Gti Edition classic, the calorstat not manage the same way: 87 ° C thermostat INSTEAD OF 80 ° C.
The oil level and the LDR are quite correct, I have no default vagcom or on the dashboard.
By the way:
- The car works very well
- The coolant is at the right level
- No mayo in the jar
- I never saw temperatures exceed 90C ° to the ODB or on the Climatronic.
Maybe I can:
- Change the sensor? I think there must be more than one right?
- Do a purge of my LDR?
My tracks at the moment:
However, I must do the oil change, oil (long life) with only 15 000kms. This can probably already reduce this phenomenon? A new oil for better lubrication?
Also note that I installed a Catback non resonated? Some say it is wrong not to have the entire line.
Perhaps the calorstat is HS?
Maybe it is normal?
In advance, thank you
