S3Quattro Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Had a similar problem with my S3. Low temp guage readings with climate set to 23 degrees and outside temp 4 Degrees gauge would read 80, checked top hose (Hot) and bottom hose (Cold) so thermostat seems OK. When I turned off climate Guage climbed to normal and with the engine idling radiator fans started after a few minutes. I checked the temperatures with VAG-COM and they were the same as the dash gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
