Our MkV GTI is showing similar symptoms, do we think that it will it be a major exercise like the diesel?

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Not sure about MkV GTI get your mechanic to check it out, thermostats obviously like any working part will fail at some point. My car is going fine now temperature steady on 90 deg once warm. Just get original equipment I guess. My brother has a MkV 103TDI 200000K still has the original thermostat so I guess it's a bit hit and miss as to time to failure.2017 MY18 Golf R Wolfsburg | Oryx White | DSG / 2021 MY21 T-Cross Style | S+V Package | Limestone Grey

My 103TDI DSG with 140K on the clock has just begun to display the symptoms.
Pity it did not happen at 120K when I had the DSG service, new timing belt and new water pump. Another 4+ hours work.A VW Golf is like a German art house film, laughing clowns and naked women fighting maddened crows. A Toyota Corolla is like a glass of tap water. Jeremy Clarkson
