Seem to have an issue with the coolant temp again... its taking a while to come up to temp and struggles to sit at 90Deg... drops to 85Deg then back up to 90Deg...

In traffic sits at 90Deg... as start moving it drops to 85Deg...

Always sat at 90Deg and got up to temp quickly...

Car had new CTS last year and new thermostat last month... Any suggestions?

Stat was genuine VAG part so surely it cant be that again?

Plugged in VAGCOM and nothing showing except:

17744 - Engine Torque Monitor 2: Control Limit Exceeded
P1336 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent

:whistle::whistle::whistle:

What's that about? :D

Well looking around on vortex, etc and it looks like the fault code and coolant issue could be linked due to fooked CTS...

After that should look at MAF and IAT sensor ... I might just clean the IAT along with the TB and do an adaption anyway as its due.

Ever get the feeling your talking to yourself? :D

Ran some logs last night ...

MAF is reading 172g/s so nothing wrong with that...

Cleared fault code and it hasnt returned.

So new CTS ... I reckon should sort.
