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,

  • What's the normal running coolant temp for a 162kw Tiguan?

    Oil temp never gets above 90 degrees - which I think is expected

    But after a low coolant warning (and topping up, with the correct coolant) I'm now monitoring the coolant temp. It gets as high as 108. Unsure if I've ever seen it go that high before

    90 on mine and oil gets up around 110

      OK - did I get oil and water mixed up?

        LOL! Yes I DID get it the wrong way around!

        So water never got above 90 even when I had low coolant -- derp!

        thanks Hillbilly

          Haha

          Oil at 108 is fine. The temperature gauge (water temp) is only approximate anyway. What it says is 90, can be 85-100).
          I forget the math term, but this gauge (in many cars with electronic instruments- not meaning digital) is ‘weighted’ or ‘restricted’ to Stay in the normal zone- to alleviate temperature anxiety, within a safe temp window- as opposed to a 100% representation of true temperature (and the needle fluctuations that would bring)

            Probably like my Landcruiser Would sit at 90 all day and would never move unless the water fell out and then would redline when it was too late and bearings would start to rattle about the same time LOL
