amazak 3 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I had a similiar issue but on a mk3 GTi, turned out to be a faulty temp sender/switch located on one of the water hoses, not sure if the vr6 works on the same principle, but just thought I'd make mention of it. Actually bought 2 at the time so still have a brand new one, I think they cost around £20 from Vag.Regards Link to post Share on other sites
