temperature probs!

[cupra-c_ya]

Hi there chaps!
having some problems with my in dash temperature guage at the mo, when it goes upto 90 degrees it can sometimes go from 90 degrees down and up again?
I have REVO 4 bar software and it seems to have started after getting this but could just be a coincidence, do you think this could just be a faulty sensor that needs replacing, im still under warranty so would it be covered and worth getting seat to have a look at when I take it in, any help would be appreciated.
thanks @ all

get the sensor checked by SEAT first - it may be purely coincidental that this has happened at the same time as Revo 4bar.

If they can't find an issue then go to the garage that did your revo.

 

[cupra-c_ya]

lets just say the seat garage say's there is no problem with the sensor, what could the revo dealer do?

 

[warren_cox]

probably wont be able to do a lot more - it must be glitching for a reason.

Is it happening randomly or is it doing it under specific cirumstances, and how often is it doing it?

 

[cupra-c_ya]

it is doing it randomly and im driving the car normally, you could say it is Intermittent and have not related it going up and down on certain conditions.
it's just weird driving along when your car is hot and then seeing the needle go down then go back up again, just weird.

it is doing it at least once a week, but maybe more as Im not always looking at the gauge.

Its prob the temp sender thats knackered. We had it in a work van the other day. Scared the new driver silly, she thought she'd broken the van on teh first day. Dealer should just replace it and all will be fine.

The car is going into the stealers for its annual/50k service so will let them know that the temp gauge is going up 'n' down like a yoyo! it's under warranty so they can replace this.
lets just hope they dont find out that I have revo installed hey.
cheers @ all for your help

changed a temp sender today doing excatly the same fault faulted on diag machine first but car out of warranty so had to inform the customer while doing emmisions test for mot and reving vehicle temp gauge was moving up and down a lot

 

[dontnoanything]

the diag machine at the dealers usealy picks up the temp sender fault plus they can check if gauge moves correctly aswell. if your car is out of warranty changing the sender isnt that hard if you like working under the bonnet. and the sender isnt that dear and you dont lose much coolant

 

[cupra-c_ya]

it is still under dealer warranty so this should be covered, hopefully it will show up on there machine, if not then I know it has been going up and down intermittently so they will have to change it, they dont call em stealers for nothing lol, thanks for your help mate
