Fairly common problem, I haven't came across it yet so can't elaborate much, usually the thermostat is on it's way out.
Someone will be along to correct me soon if I'm wrong.

General question, are the coolant temp sensors in the same place on a 1.9tdi
I know there's one just above the gearbox , are there anymore on this engine
