Hello
Although I've owned a V5 (170bhp) for 3 years or more I've never found this site! However, its full of useful information and tips so great stuff.
I've got two specific problems which I was wondering if someone could help with?
1) Engine Temp Gaugue on the dash seems to have gone bonkers. During normal driving it seems to fluctuate downwards and upwards (never going past the middle line though). It seems to fix itself for a short while following a drop in gear and bit of acceleration, although comes back after 5 minutes or so. (Its also happening on my missus' A3 - exactly the same). I've done about 60k and hers is up at about 76k.
I've two thoughts on this - is it the MAF? Or would it be merely a sensor gone somewhere? If the former, what's the best route of fixing it?
2) Secondly, SatNav has gone haywire. I've read through some of the post son here but would like to know what's the best approach to a fix. Would it be done to the dealers or attempt a self fix. The symptons are that it can see 29 satellites, but cannot get a GPS fix - hence useless.
Ta in advance.
