Temp issue

[Borat]

Hi, my 2008 q7 3.0 tdi will no longer get to full temp on the guage. It will go to about 50 and sometimes 90 after a long time but if i stop then next drive will just stick at 50-60 and refuses to goto normal 90.

Garage has replaced thermostat and water pump but they say it still it wont warm up. Is there something they have missed as it never overheats just runs cool all the time.

Please help :)

Possibly the cooling fans are not turning off at low temperatures, but I would have expected your garage to have spotted that.

Hi I think you have an airlock get the system re bled, other than that flush the whole system there something causing the lack of flow, if its auto check the thermostat for the gearbox oil cooler.
