Thermostat and temperature sensor issues
Hey all!
I have an '06 A4 2.0T audi and lately the engine light has been lighting up again. Got it scanned a couple weeks back to be told its giving a "temperature" read. The shop asked if the temperature was inordinately high when driving to which I advised no, since it wasn't. They deduced it was the temperature sensor then.
To my dismay, began driving after this repair and the light came back on again a few days later. Upon scan today, now being told it has to be the thermostat since its a temperature read..... question though, wouldn't my temperature be high if this was really the problem? Help me before I spend $550 on top of the $150 last week!
bahhhhh!!

Re: Thermostat and temperature sensor issues
It doesn't sound that your mechanic is honest. He should replace the t'stat in the first place.

Re: Thermostat and temperature sensor issues
Join the club. Same car as yours. Same issue as you. Actually it seems to be a common vw audi thing. I have owned a 99 Jetta, 01 passat and now 06 a4. And all three cars had thermistat problems. Might as well do ur timing belt if it's not done yet.
