Hi all

Looking for advice after reading this thread

https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/445467-dsg-equipped-cars-second-thermostat/?tab=comments#comment-5008116

I have a 2012 Yeti TDI DSG and lately it is not getting up to operating temp

I live in Queensland, Australia, so it doesn't get all that cold

Temp gauge runs at about "10 o'clock" where 90 degrees is "12 o'clock"

Didn't even know there was a DGS oil cooler fitted

With winter coming on it will probably run colder which is not good for the engine

Do you think the DSG thermostat could be the culprit ??

Was thinking the main thermostat was kaput 

but presumably after looking at the main thermostat housing

the DSG thermostat would be a lot cheaper and easier fix

 

Thanks in advance

That is not going to break the bank and will at least prove whether it was the culprit.

Or it may be the engine temperature sensor and not either or both thermostats.

Thanks for your help

Will test the temperature sensor first

then the DSG thermostat if sensor is OK

What is the oil temperature getting up to?
