Hello everyone,
after I replaced the faulty coolant level sensor in the expansion tank (8 Euro VW original), I noticed that the temperature gauge is no longer in the middle, but at three-quarters.
I just replaced the thermostat and flushed the cooling system. Everything looked normal and there were no blockages.
Question:
Could it be that this is due to the fuel being contaminated?
I have been adding 15 liters of diesel fuel (Aldi 0.75€ per liter) to my diesel tank with every fill-up for a while now. The car runs much more smoothly than before, I'm almost always looking forward to the next time I need to refill it, because afterwards it performs much better.
However, I haven't been able to find any connection between Pöl and rising temperatures online so far.
