Hi all,
I noticed my coolant temp needle never got to its normal position even after my 25 min drive.Outside temp was -8 °C (17.6 °F).My cabin heat dial was at 2 o'clock position and cabin fan was at no.2 speed during the commute.
I also used torque app to double check the temp and it was showing 71°C.And no ECU error codes either.I was thinking of weak thermostat but i believe this EA288 TDI engine has an electric thermostat??
I can't remember if i noticed engine temp that low during my commute last winter.Did anyone else notice this phenomenon?Or this little common rail is so efficient that its not producing enough heat?
and yes i also plugged in block heater cable(that came from factory) for 2 hrs before leaving to work in the morning.Thanks.
