Hello,
Need help on how to find best action to fix problem with my 2014 SC Leon 1.8 TSI 180.
The motor after start quickly reach 90 degrees Celsius, but after a short driving start to drop in temperature to 60-70 C, close to the oil temp, and stays there. Should say this is in the cold spring weather in Sweden with outside temp +5 - +10 C. This temp.-problem does not however affect the driveability or performance of the car. Other than possible increased fuel consumption? The car was unfortunately sitting for 3-4 month without driving during the winter, which seem to have initiated this problem.
I had an error code indicating extreme / too high or low temp from the coolant temp sensor, that I cleared and it did not show up again. I have checked the coolant temp sensor att the bottom hose connection to radiator, and it has the same resistance/Ohm reading as a new sensor cold and warm, so I didn't replace it.
One could suspect the thermostat, but I am totally confused as to how to replace it or possible cost to have a dealer to change it. I find specially designed "thermostat-tubes" on autoparts24 at prices approx 12-60 EUR, but when I talk to a local car workshop they don't confirm that they can do the replacement. Or that there even is a traditional thermostat.
>> Anyone in the forum that have experienced the same problem?
>> Anyone in the forum that did replace the thermostat?
>> Anyone know the location of a possible second temp sensor in coolant system?
Any suggestions on how to solve this problem are highly appreciated!
Thanks / Staffan
