Hi all,

newbie here and in need of some help if poss.

i have a 2013 touareg 3.0 tdi r-line,long story short i purchased the car with front end damage(i work in a body shop).

all radiators were replaced with brand new genuine items.

the dash temp gauge sits at 90 degree constant and the fans blow really hot.

my problem is that the bottom rad hose does not get hot,but the top one does.

the bottom hose has the coolant temp sensor in it and on idle its showing upto 100 degrees Fahrenheit when it should be 200 odd?

when driving drops to 50 odd and hose is cold to touch?

ive just replaced the thermostat that's built into the oil filter housing and still the same and also replaced the cts at the same time.

is there something im missing like another stat somewhere that's stopping flow?

thanks in advance.

ryan.
