  1. I didn't have much to do the with garage when dealing with the thermostat change as the garage I purchased the car off were sorting it as still under warranty. I would certainly hope it was a genuine audi part and not something aftermarket, no-wonder there might be a problem! I'm at a slump now.. I don't know wether to go back and get the garage to check the thermostat or wether to do a process of elimination and get the coolant sensor changed as that would leave only the thermostat to be replaced. We did a test at a garage on the coolant pipe leaks, and there were none found. Garenth, what please is the Sender unit? Is that to do with the thermostat? Kind regards, Evie
  2. Good morning Gareth, Thank you very much for your informaitve reply! The thermostat wasn't changed at an Audi dealership, but as I understand it was a genuine audi part used. Would this mean it's the temperature sensor gone wrong that's held in the coolant tank? If so, think I'll get that changed and see if the gauge behaves, before spending more money digging back into the thermostat. Kind regards, Evie
  3. New car for me with 70,000 miles on the clock, got it in September. Within 2 weeks the audi overheated, took it to garage, did head gasket test, not that, did thermostat test.. faulty thermostat. Replaced that, all fine. But now about 12 weeks later the temp gauge keeps going up every time I drive the car, it'll go up 2/3 bars for about 30 seconds and then drop right back of to 90 degrees again, it only does this once a day despite how much I drive it. I took car back to garage who fitted thermostat and they couldn't find a problem, took it to another garage, they did a pressure test thing for the coolant to see if there was a leak, no leak. So assuming now it must be another faulty thermostat getting stuck? Or a crappy sensor? Please does anyone have any ideas? Or have you had a similar problem? Car still drivable as it doesn't actually "overheat"... Thanks in advance for any response.
