Quick VR cooling question......

Recommended Posts

I am about to buy a Neuspeed low temp stat, but im looking for a low temp fan switch too.....

 

After talking with Neuspeed they say that their one is not suitable for a VR??

 

Has anyone done this and where did you get it from?

 

Cheers

My water temp guage never reached 70 this morning on a 40 min town / dual carridgway run ! Even though i replaced the temp sender.

 

Hope this is ok .....

I'd check that out as it's far too low. It'll be over fuelling like mad.

 

Have you got VAG-COM? That's a good way to see what the actual sender reading is as the analogue gauge isn't that brilliant.

 

It should be around 90 deg C whilst consantly moving and kept at or just below 100 deg C with fans 1 and 2 when stationery.

Hehe - its this shocking Scottish snow and ice that does it ( shhhh - dont tell them..... :lol: )

 

 

Thing is it used to display temps as the cheesman described, before i put the nuspeed stat and the new yellow sensor in.

 

I was worried about it overfueling too, but a warm hc emmisions readout says 5ppm (see this 'thread'). I also checked the mpg over 500 odd motorway miles this w/e and i was got 240mls to 1/2 a tank.

 

So it doesnt sound like its overfueling at all ! Suppose the sender could be a dud - its VAG.

Mine has been exactly the same since fitting the low temp stat. Water rarely goes above 70 C now. Getting the same mpg as before and drives well, so doesn't look like it's over fuelling.

 

Did the 'hose' test too, cos I was a bit worried when I first fitted it. The bottom hose stayed cold for a while, until the car was up to temp, while the top hose warmed up quickly. Will do this again, just to put my mind at ease!
