lately the temp has not risen as high as usual on the gauge, just thought it was my short journeys and being parked up most of the time.

 

On Saturday I drove it for about six miles, the heater was working but the needle didn't move, I stopped and looked up the oil temp on the display between the dials all I got was ---

 

Is this the same problem which requires the DSG thermostat replacing?

If temperature needle scatty try DSG stat first 

needle was hovering about 50-70 but that was 2 weeks ago now it doesn't move 

Now fixed

 

It was the DSG thermostat
