Hi everyone,

 

recently had a timing belt replacement on my 2.0 tdi q5 now the temp gauge stays at around 50 on the dash 

any help appreciated 

Typical symptom of faulty thermostat Daniel. 
Regards,

Gareth. 
 

Thanks Gareth much appreciated

would you have any idea on this cost at a independent garage ?

also is it a tricky job or diy to replace ? 
thanks again 

No problem Daniel,

Sorry, don’t know on a Q5 but hopefully someone on here will be along. 
Well worth checking on the part cost first. You can do that via. entering your registration number into, say - Parts in Motion website - and that will come up with a variety of brands. I would buy on quality, not price. 
Regards,

Gareth.

Hi I think you probably have air in the system try getting the water system bled first, [much cheaper]
