Golf 2005 TDI Thermostat
Hi, my girlfriend hasa VW Golf TDI 2005.
I am asking here since I do not own a VW and I am a bit unfamiliar with the car and diesel engines... Her engine does not seem to be heating very fast...It take a while. Well it takes quite a bit longer than my gas car. Is that typical of a diesel engine? If not, could it be that the thermostat is malfunctionning and when the car is started, even if the engine is cold, indicates a hot engine thus cooling thru the rad and so it take a long time to get to appropriate temp? In other words...I would need to know if it takes the same time to heat that a gas engine, there is a good chance the there is something wrong with the thermostat... I am not sure if I am clear, but any help would be nice. |

Hello,
I am French anda Golf V (2005) owner, and I'm not surprised to wait some kilometers before reaching 90 °C. Sure, it depends of weather (winter or summer)...but diesel engine need more time...don't matter about your thermostat. |
