How accurate is the "51 Engine Coolant 51 Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) in deg C(ECT) in deg C" option on the hidden climate control panel?
I've had an issue with the temp gauge on the was sticking very low or fluctuating. The Thermostat and Coolant Temp sensor has now been replaced. Now it takes a long time to get to 90c, 22 mins this morning at 5c outside (once it gets to 90c it stays there now). The fuel economy has been rubbish too, dropping around 7-10mpg overall. The MAF was replaced last month.
The climate control reading does not seem to match up with the temp gauge, the gauge always seems to lag behind.
I am going to try using a laptop with vag-com on the way home, so should the reading for coolant Temperature on there match up with the climate control panel read out? I'm wondering if it picks up the reading from the ECU part of the coolant temp sensor.
The car only seems to blow hot air once the gauge gets towards 90c and not the climate control panel output.
No codes logged on Vag-com when I checked this morning.
Thanks.
