    Just bought myself a 2003 A3 8L 1.8T with only 53k on the clock and a one owner car. After doing a scan with vagcom I get this error code:



    So I have replaced the temp sensor and it seems the temp gauge is still behaving the same. But I know the car is getting up to temp as the fans kick in. But after a 20 min drive to work surely the gauge should be reading 90 which is half way.

    Could this be a thermostat issue or anything I may have missed?

    Use measuring blocks to check and log coolant temperature, does that P1602 keep coming back when cleared? see RossTech Wiki for P1296

    Tbh I haven't cleared and re scanned since temp sensor changed.

    If its anything like my previous B5 A4, there is a sensor for ECU coolant temp, and one for the Inst.Cluster. Maybe worth a look, they are usually mounted side by side.
