Yea I have the two rads aswell. So wot do you get to a tank. Its realy nice to drive it but could do with a sixth gear.

This is more likely to be the multi function temp sender.

Had similar on my 90. Took me 3 attempts to get a sender that sits correctly.

Yep definately, a known failure on these 20V's with the symptoms you describe :tup:

Might be of interest?.... http://sites.internet.lu/folders/cus...S2.htm#COOLING

similar thing with gene - the temp needle takes a good while to get up to the middle of the gauge and then sometimes goes back down again before rising to settle at the correct position on the gauge!! :hmmm:
i've replaced the thermostat with a genuine audi part and the temp sensor was replaced too to no avail.. :confused:

anyway, who cares...it still goes and sounds fabulous!!

:tup:

Which temp sensor though, its the fat 4 pin one that causes the issues, changed mine twice in 10years.....:rolleyes:

Yra still goes well was going to take it up to Scotland this year but not sure as fuel cost. And I only get 320 to a tank is that about right.

i was told that there is only one temp sensor - that's the one that screws into the
rear face of the cylinder head...

:confused:

Craig, that's the one that tells the ECU what temp it is(2-pin)
The guage one is the brass one that has the rubber cover on it.......on the outlet from the head to top hose.
:tup:

could you forward me an ebay link for that one, please john - it'll need to get replaced pronto!

thanks

:)
