What should the water temp be in a Jetta?
The car in question is the Jetta in my sig. I’ve been watching my Scangauge recently and the water temp reading goes up to 227 F in city traffic. I was wondering if this isn’t a tad high. The temp needle, however, does not budge from 190 F, which should mean that all is well (assuming properly functioning sensors).
How do you replace a temperature sensor on a Jetta?
Loosen your coolant reservoir cap to release any built up pressure, then tighten the cap back up. By doing this you create a vacuum seal so when you pull out the bad sensor very little to no coolant will leak out while you are making the swap.
What’s the normal temp for a TDI car?
On our Automatic TDI, at 110 degrees out it gets up around 225 degrees. My Manual TDI on the same day stays cooler, peaks around 205 degrees or so. Don’t know if it’s a transmission thing or if all the TDIs just vary.. I’ve been watching my Scangauge recently and the water temp reading goes up to 227 F in city traffic.
How to replace a temperature sensor MkIV VW?
Make sure your car is completely cooled down. Loosen your coolant reservoir cap to release any built up pressure, then tighten the cap back up. By doing this you create a vacuum seal so when you pull out the bad sensor very little to no coolant will leak out while you are making the swap.
What should the temp of the coolant sensor be?
Check that the temperature value of the CTS is around 80-90c when the engine is hot. A lot of engine coolant temperature sensors have two wires and the sensor is controlled by Ohm. Get a wiring diagram and find out what ohms you should have at a specific temperature to check the function.
What’s the coolant temp on a 2002 Golf?
I have two 2002 Golfs that I noted coolent temps on recently.. On our Automatic TDI, at 110 degrees out it gets up around 225 degrees. My Manual TDI on the same day stays cooler, peaks around 205 degrees or so. Don’t know if it’s a transmission thing or if all the TDIs just vary..
Where do I find the coolant temp in my car?
Measure the coolant temperature at the oil heat exchanger wich is the regulated portion of the cooling system. You can also measure the temperature of the coolant going from the head to the heater core. This is the primary cooling circuit which is regulated to 190F and has constant flow thru the engine.
