Nope. It was still kinda working as it should, just sticking a tiny bit open so the car was about 10 degrees cooler than it should be. Feels much better now.

Part was about £30 from VW, and fitting (inc coolant change) was £200. Ball-ache of a job. I attempted it but gave up.

I seem to have an issue on dash mine is always 90 but with climate 19/2 I only seem to get over 80 in traffic or sitting at 70 on motorway normal driving I always seem to be around 70 is is this correct?

^ sounds similar to my problem. Gauge showing 90 apart from coasting down hill but climate display was showing around 74 in normal driving. When dash gauge dropped 1 notch, climate would show 71 degrees.

I'll try a drive tomorrow and check again  but sounds like I'll need to replace my thermostat then  :fighting:

What would be good is a video of the cruise control temp video from a cold start to 10 min in on average driving, prob find some have an issue and didn't know

Since changing mine it has not fluctuated to a low level, and I have been running wih the MFA add-on via FISCON to get oil and water readings whilst driving.

I wouldn't like to guess at how many of these stats have now failed and we are just realising.
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.

think I'm in the same boat.  Sits at 90 when sitting in traffic, once I get on to the motorway etc it drops to 70.

VW Quoted £200 all in with a courtesy car :).

Local Indy is £100 labour plus I have to source the part.

AwesomeGTI seem to be a bit of a rip sometimes.

As I said further up in this thread, I attempted It but it was just too tough  :sad1:

Most of the front of the engine has to come off. I got Awesome GTI to fit it in the end

It was the main one (in part number above)
