Hey guys!
I have a problem with my Seat Leon Cupra 280 (2015 - 100k kilometers driven) that started on Thursday on my way home from work.
So far noted issues:
-Coolant liquid temperature is jumping all over the place when driving slow or stopping a lot to lights.
-When starting the car when it is cool it is 90, it does not start from 0 like normal.
-On a highway drive, it keeps quite settle at 90, but can suddenly jump in a matter of seconds to 110 or higher and quickly goes down back to 90.
-If I shut down the car when the temp shows 120 and let it be for 1 hour, it shows still 120 when igniting again...
I called to my local car maintenance company and they told me directly that 99% chance it is thermostat and they said that multiple parts needs to be changed during the change of thermostat (thermostat, thermostat housing, water pump, water pump belt and Antifreeze liquid). And for example to my car the water pump was changed 20 000km ago.
I personally changed the coolant temperature sensor from the front of the car, but it did not help anything and I am wondering that is there more then one sensor? This maintenance the they are suggesting to me is super costly and for me this sounds like a sensor problem.. Or is it really possible that the temperature can jump in a matter of seconds so much and come down so quickly? Plus also the fact that it automatically starts from 90, not 0.
