aaron1989 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Hi while driving yesterday my mk 6 with the digital dashboard temperature went from the middle straight to the too and flashing, I checked coolant level and that was fine, n ok leaks also.,so started it back up and it stayed in the middle for an hour or so then shot straight back to the top. Every time I have to turn the car of and re start then it stays in the middle again. Anyone know what this could be? Mane the temperature sensor?

DieselPig Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Does the temp shoot up when you are driving or idling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron1989 Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 It's been whilst driving, today I went out and after an hour or so driving it started doing it so I assume it's when it's been warmed up but as soon as I cut the engine and restart it it's back down to half way and stays there a while then shoot up again,, it doesn't go up in quaters it goes from half way to the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselPig Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Sounds like the impeller on the water pump is spinning on the shaft, works OK at low revs but cannot keep up with the shaft when your on the move and the engine overheats.
