    Hello

    I have a B6 170 BMR passat and have a strange coolant issue for a while. Once the temp gets up to full and I stop at a junction or in traffic the temp starts to fall. I have replaced the main thermostat twice now both times with a genuine VW thermostat. I have noticed a large amount of threads with this issue that have fixed the problem by changing the 2nd thermostat which is an inline type located by the DSG cooler. But surprise surprise I do not have one fitted and when the VIN was checked by VW this part was greyed out indicating never fitted. I have also replaced both temp sensors but still have this weird problem.

    Mine is exactly the same. Had a new thermostat fitted and still it ‘lost’ temp whilst either sat in traffic, or dropped to 20-30mph.

    It's annoying. I know it's not normal to act like this as my previous B6 passat had the exact same engine and it did not exhibit the same symptoms. Does not effect hot air coming out pretty soon after running but certainly something causing it.
