Temp gauge is staying at 30 whist driving only going up when in traffic

Hi all,

My A2 Fsi is going well except for a couple of issues I cannot identify the reason as to why.

My car starts fine everytime but the temp gauge never goes higher than 30 unless I'm in traffic. Also I'm only getting hot air from the car after 30 mins of driving or in traffic. I have a hole in the EGR Pipe which is being replaced this week but don't think this has anything to do with it.

Anyone know what might be wrong?

Thanks for your assistance

It certainly looks like your temperature sender is busted.

As manhattan has said though, it might also be worth changing the thermostat, but try just the temperature sender first, the thermostat is a bit labour intensive!!!

I also agree that genuine parts are best for these items.
