slow warm up times - thermostat or temp sensor problem?!

[JustCruisn]

Have you actually determined that the thermostat is failing ?
Do you know how to replace the thermostat ?

It does not sound like you have the expertise to diagnose and solve the problem.

Take the car to an expert and have it fixed properly, the 1st time.
There are plenty of VW places in Brisbane that won't try to screw you. Just ask if you need some numbers.

I agree. and if it does happen to be that part, id be going at genuine one, no point in saving a few dollars on something that could go wrong

might take it over to mike webber this week sometime. unless someone northside brisbane is willing to scan my car for any codes?
its actually not worrying me too much at the moment. it only happened really once and every since then its been fine. so i'll get it looked at

**must buy vag com cable**

[Manaz]

An alternative to VAG-COM is the vChecker - it does quite a bit of what a VAG-COM cable can do, at a lower price...

[audi-tone]

where can i purchase the v-checker in aus? if at all?

you could also go with a Autel 405 VAG ... I picked up one for cheaper than a vChecker and works great for what I need.
