Engine warms up rather quickly

[Andy ap]

Not sure this is a fault as such but since i bought my VRS i've noticed that the engine seems to warm up rather quickly. Quicker than any other car i've had but not so fast so as to cause concern. The temp gauge does settle at 90 and stays there and the water pump had been replaced before i bought the car.

 

Don't know whether it's supposed to be like that but i mentioned it to skoda dealer once and they said it's possible the water pump is on its way out (despite it being quite young) The car doesn't use any coolant either and get no mayo in oil cap and radiator seems fine so a bit stumped.

Could be a faulty CTS

Coolant temperature sensor?

You may find you have no problem buddy and this is just the condition of a turbo charged car.

 

Turbo charged cars run hot and get up to normal running temps very quickly because of the heat the turbo generates.

 

After a run open bonnet and stick your head under

 

Even the Inlet manifold is dam hot.

 

These cars get up to 90' and stay there and you have double cooling fans to try too keep it at 90' in hot weather

I agree except i previously had a mk4 ibiza cupra 1.8t with a BBU engine IIRC and that didn't warm up as fast. But like you say that may be because a bigger intercooler?....

I think your car is perfectly fine

What do you mean 'warms up rather quickly'?
