which is correct gauge or climate

[meltonlad]

ive just changed my green top temp sender unit as my temp gauge never moved off 60. since changing the temp gauge works but when i go into the climate setting 51 that is reading 90 and the gauge is reading 70ish

I'll watch my coolant on my Liquid Gauge in the morning compared to the dash and post back

 

[LEE69]

My gauge was at 90 and the coolant was only at 73 before i got to my destination.
On the way back they were both at 90.

gotta send my liq guage off to be updated.. no coolant check on mine??

 

[LEE69]

Yeah due an update then mate.

My Climate screen is reading 90 too.

cheers for that LEE. ive checked mine again today drove 4 miles gauge was at 70 ish and climate was at 90 but then i stopped the engine restarted it and both said 90 ???

Strange, unless the dash was on "catch up" keep an eye on it

The dash is usually 'ahead' of the climate, so if the gauge reads 90 then the climate will be lower, until its properly up to temp, then the climate stops at 90. Only way to see if its reading higher is via vag-com, a liquid gauge or via a fault code reader that provides live data.

how could i do it with vagcom ? as im still learning with vagcom...
