2015 TDI bluemotion: water temp and mileage reading issues
Posted: Wed Sep 25, 2019 9:32 am
Hi all
2 issues:
Issue 1 Water temp; car was over heating, did some research on here, known water pump issue, changed water pump. Car now doesn’t over heat...but temperature constantly fluctuates. Did 300+ miles yesterday and it moved between 70 and 90 all the way. Not in an unusual fashion; if cruising it dropped, if pressing on it rose, but obviously should be at 90 constantly after warm up. I wonder if previous owner has removed thermostat to try and solve overheating issue? But why the fluctuation after warm up?
Issue 2 mileage reading: speedo, mpg, average speed, trip all work...overall mileage hasn’t moved in a few days. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
