My mk2 has for the 3 years I've had it never been able to reach the middle of the temp gauge where it should be. It very slowly reaches 1/3 if I drive on the high way for a long time.
In the winter it is harder for it to go even 1/3 up and it has thrown p0115 (ECT sensor) fault codes a couple of times. I stuck an OEDB live reader into the car and drove and the temp. seems to go to 90 C which should be fine?
If the ECT sensor was at fault, then wouldn't the OEDB reader give me a wrong reading? The reading also matches the outdoor temp. before starting the car.
What could this be if not the the ECT sensor?
