Have been after an RS4 for many years now finally bit the bullet and bought this one just over a week ago.. Standard 1 owner 2001 with 59k miles and go...

Temp sender ... Easy peasy sorted

Temp is staying at a steady 90 degrees (when viewed on the climate control) guess it must be sender unit so nice easy fix for the guys at the garage next week ...

Got an idea.... If I use the onboard diagnostic control (on the climate control) I should be able to monitor the engine coolant temp.. If this goes up to and stays at a steady 90 degrees I should be able to rule out the thermostat .. Thus pointing a accusing finger at the sender unit :biggrin3: ... ...

Good call... The reason I think it's the sender is that it can go from 60 to 90 then back to 60 again in about 30 seconds.. I recon if it was a sticking stat wouldn't it just stay open or closed .. Rather than staying open for 10 miles then closing and immediately opening again... To give you an ide...

Hi Guys Getting some odd temp readings.. After driving the car for about 7-10 miles (at about 50-60mph) the temp gauge is only showing about 65 degrees... It will then go up to normal running temp (90ish) .. Then after a couple of mins drop back down to 60-... I was thinking thermostat at first but ...

There will almost definitely be some issues, MAF, sensors, boost leaks for example. Or at least get it VAG COM checked.[/quote Yep definatley going to get i...

Thanks for your comments guys.. Will get some pics up and do a proper introduction once iv picked it up on Wednesday ... Guess the next 2 days are going to drag

This was Parkway Edwinstow Notts seemed a very genuine lot. The fact the car had been owned by the same guy for nearly 11 yrs. really appealed to me... Vast amount of paper work with it too and good history all amounted up to it being what seems like a very genuine car, which was what I was looking ...

Well after throughly checking the car over and checking all it's history iv gone for it... Cam belt water pump and thermostat have been changed for me as well as a new power steering pump as when they did the belt changed they noticed the pump had s problem... Front discs and pads have been done les...

Have seen original bill of sale for the car with a purchase price of £51k which also has Directors name on it was registered to the company first then to Director second hence two owners on the log book (At...

Looks like it has had a service roughly every 2 years, and been consistently driven roughly 5400 every year. This may be similar to myself, I work 28/28 out of the country so only cover about 5000 miles a year, but the car is used regularly and does not sit for long periods of time without use. Put...
