I put Peppa in to have a slide bolt released 2 weeks ago and seeing as there was snow on the ground I had them to change the thermostat and coolant temperature sender at the same time.
I sourced the parts from @CreweAudi and they worked great for about 10 days, but on the way to work Friday the temp guage didnt move until about 20 minutes into my commute and even then barely hit 60 degrees. The fans were warm long before this so assume the thermostat is ok.
I'm guessing that the coolant temp sender is already naffed. Surprised seeing as I used genuine Audi parts.
My question is is changing the temperature sender a complete coolant drain job or can it be done without losing all the coolant?
CrewAudi have said they can't send me a replacement unless I send the 2 week old one back for testing. I've also offered to buy another new one and then have the faulty one refunded but they don't think they can do that either (not the best service to be honeat)
Took me a while to find the sender because I expected it to be around the front by the thermostat. Thanks to SteveB for helping me find it.
