Hello everyone, I own a 2000 1.4 MPI polo.
I've noticed in the last two weeks my temp gauge takes longer to reach operating temperature and the higher revs I go IE 60mph + the temp gauge goes further down (between halfway and quater point). But at speeds of around 40-50 seems to be close to normal?
I changed the temp sensor about 6 months ago as the gauge would randomly go up and down and that fixed that problem.
Any help much appreciated
Thanks
