'02 GTI Problems

Hello and welcome to the forum. Has the coolant bottle been replaced? Why do you think it is running warm?

Thanks for the welcome...

Coolant bottle hasnt been replaced. Think its running warm as I could swear I heard the fan running yesterday but could be wrong as well as the engine just not quite feeling right, if you know what I mean.

Sorry, its a 2.0 115bhp

If the gauge is on 90 in is not going above 112°c as that is the highest I have seen them go on the diagnostic display before the gauge moves over 90, scary I know but that is what happens. The fan running is a good sign, not a bad one-it means the coolant is circulating but it can also come on if the air con is set to auto.

Thanks crasher for putting my mind at ease re the fan though still concerned by the STOP warning appearing. Is there anything else it could be other than coolant?

A dash fault is a possibility but that stop warning can come on for overheat, brake fluid, low coolant and oil pressure so without an accompanying note as to what it applies to…
