temperature

:confused: I'm the owner of a '53 plate Leon S (1.4) and I'm having problems with my engine temperature guage which is registering anywhere between no reading at all to 45% of the engine temp range! :( I take it that it's the engine temperature sender that's at fault but can anyone please...

I've got a faulty outside temperature reading in my car. Does anyone know if this likely to be caused by a faulty sensor?

ok hi guys, ive only just joined the site s i only bought my leon a week ago. its a 1.8 20VT cupra already had it remapped to 225bhp and had a powerflow cat-back system fitted. i have read about the temp warning light flashing in the mornings and i got that problem the other day, but i also now...

On way home from a night out last night, doing about 80's the temp on the oil started rising, i thought nothing of it, so i slowed and then all of a sudden the coolant shot to 120 and the beeps and lights came on, i stopped and popped bonnet, the coolant bottle was boiling and the cap letting...

Does anyone know the part number/price for the external (ambient) temp sensor for the MY03 leon Cupra? Mine was trying to tell me that it was only 10 degrees this aftenoon, which it clearly wasn't! Vagcom isn't showing any faults, but I assume it can't be anything else causing this, can...

I've searched but can't find much info on how to do this. I've read about taking out the screw under the passenger mirror to allow access to the sensor and cut the wires in order to solder the new one in to save routing the new wire and plug through the car. I took the screw out but the...

sometimes when i start my car the temperature gauge stays at the bottom and the red light flashes!!! and sometimes the gayge just doesnt work at all it just stays on zero even tho i have just drove 25miles any1 got any advice ???

I have the Cupra R Oil temp gauge in my car and up until last week it would read 90degrees as the normal temp once warm. NO its starting to read 100 degrees under normal conditions. Is this because of the increase in temp outside and all the good weather or wouldnt that affect oil temp...

Do I have enough evidence to convince a dealer that the coolant temperature sensor on my Ibiza FR TDI is faulty? The symptoms are: Fuel economy has not quite improved as much as I'd expect now that the ambient temperature has picked up after the winter. It's maybe 4 or 5 mpg down on what I'd...

Hi! My brother bought a 93' 2.0 8v. After idling about 4-5 minutes the coolant temperature (and gauge) goes up to 3/4 (well above 90c). The fan is working constantly. Is that normal? As in motion again, temp goes back to normal (90c).

I am having a problem with my outside temperature reading on the dash computer. Over the past couple of days it has been reading between -30 & -12 degrees :confused: . I know it is cold but it's not that cold. This will also stop the cooling function on the climate control coming on, if...

Hi All, GF's car (Leon TDI 110) just had biggy 60K service and when they plugged in vagcom, they found the temperature sensor was defective. Now we had no symptoms of this - except I had previously moaned that mpg was a little poor, even after a maf clean and air-filter change. So...

After mentioning it on another thread... but temp beep is back. -0.5 this morning. Started the car with the rear window on, no heat on the blower.... My water temp light started flashing and I got a new beep in sync wit hthe flashing. I have done a quick phone video, but the beeping...

Managed to log a few things (still not engine :() with my vag com earlier. Came up with coolant temperature sensor intermittant fault. After reading on here it might explain my poor running recently so hopefully the dealer has stock and I'll pick one up tomorrow. Does anyone have a...

How simple is it to change the temperature sensor on the beeza Also how much is the sensor?

Is there anyway to turn this off, scares the :censored: out of me everytime it happens!

Got a few faults on the car. Sorted the MAF but can't seem to remove the Engine coolant temperature circuit sensor? I let the car cool down, took the first 'horse shaped' clip off that then allowed me to remove the sensor, now how do i unplug that sensor from the wiring to put my new...

I have a Mk III Ibiza and recently the dial has started to fluctuate and is not maintaining its 90 degree constant. This drop only happens when freewheeling whilst in any gear . Temperature is maintained in neutral and in gear????? or indeed sat at the lights. Would the engine management system...

hi peeps my mk3 ibiza cupra has been doing this extremly annoying thing, When i start it up in a morning or any time its cold the temp gauge does 3 loud beeps then the light flashes for about 2-3 mins, it's happened loads and the 1st few times i simply put a tiny amount of water in it, this...

Ok I start my car, it warms the car up and everything is ok for about 1/2 hour and then all of a sudden the air from the vents gets very cold and stays that way, only way is to change temp to something like 26oC to get it warm again. Had a search but couldn't find anything related to this...
