I have a 2015 GSW TDI, 107,000K miles. For the past several weeks, I've noticed I haven't been reaching full temperature on the dashboard gauge - it's been one tick left of center. Suspecting a possible thermostat issue, but, nothing else seemed to be the matter. We got some really cold weather here this week, and the gauge now has been 2-3 ticks left of center even after 20-30 minutes of freeway driving. Clearly not normal, and seems like i'm not getting normal heat output in the car too. Ran a scan in VCDS, and nothing obvious shows up (happy to post the results if helpful).
Failing thermostat? I'm having a hard time finding any sort of instruction on thermostat replacement - looking at a picture of the part, it seems like a pretty major job. I assume this would NOT be covered under the TDI emissions warranty? Any help or thoughts appreciated!
