Re: Water Temp Help Please (BoneKracker)
Did you replace the coolant recently? you may have an air bubble. Purge the air and idle the car to test the temps.
Feel the upper hose and compare it to the temp of the bottom hose (assuming a warm running engine). Any obvious temp difference? Your thermostat may be closed. Nuespeeds thermostats are OE, so don't bother buying from them, usless you don't have a local source. Some major Auto parts chains, have a lifetime warranty on the thermostats. You may find one in a lower temp for less.
Hope your using Phosfate free anti-freeze. We all know how VWs hate it.
