Morning all. First post here, have had the GTI for 3 weeks now and has been awesome up until last night.
Pulled into the drive last night and the temperature gauge jumped to max, and the fans kicked in to high. No other warnings appeared. Shut it down and restarted it and the gauge went back to normal.
Today going to the shops it did the same thing. Restarted it, all good,
Returning home, gauge went to max, then got an auto stop error, lost all throttle response and a message about maximum rpm. Restarted the car and it was back to normal.
Now If I start the car and let it idle, after about 5 minutes the temperature just jumps to maximum and the auto stop fault pops up.
Any ideas? Dealerships aren't open until Tuesday. It is the original battery, the indicator says ok, only drops to 11.2v on cranking and charges at 14v and doesn't appear to be a drop in voltage when the fault occurs.
