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.

Can anyone say anything about this?

Greetings
Hendrik

Bist du dir sicher, dass das Golf 2 (=Jetta) Schaetz-Eisen auch richtig anzeigt ?

Es gibt ja 2 Fuehler am Wasserflansch. Tausch da einfach mal die Anschluesse, wenn er dann "richtiger" anzeigt, ist der Fuehler hin.

Wenn er dann immernoch zuviel anzeigt, sind entweder beide Fuehler hin icon_smile.gif oder die Kiste wird wirklich zu heiss.

Warum kann ich aer jetzt auch nicht erraten - sorry

I don't know what the f*ck it was.
