Hi, My Polo Haynes Manual states VW auto boxes have two settings (Eco or Sport). The setting can be set at a dealer. I reference the polo manual as I'm not aware that there is one for the Arosa. Does anybody know how I can check/change the setting with my RoasTech interface cable (VAGCOM)?

Looking good!

Our example never has, my wife's colleagues remind her everytime she leaves the lights on (she drives to work at 05:30, it's dark).

Hello, I know the MK1 has a beeper/buzzer in the dash (it sounded when running through some VAGCOM dash tests this evening), is there a way to enable the buzzer when the lights are left on with the ignition off (as later cars do)?

OK, I'll be carful. I have a couple of litters of Coolant ready :-) I confirmed the CTS is OK, by reading the real time temp via ta VAGCOM cable this evening. The took 20 minutes to get to 78 Degrees. I reset the error code for when I disconnected the CTS cable.

I was coming round to that conclusion, thanks for the advice. I will oder one to for this weekend. I assume it's easy enough to install (I'll search the forum). I'll post the results. Cheers

Agreed :-)

Yes it did but that was the only time I've ever seen it at 90. I basically to the car for a 15 blast on a country road loop. During the drive the needle didn't get above 55-60. Only when I parked up and sat with the engine running did the needle slowly creep up to 90. I have a spare Temp sensor (bought one from SEAT the other day). Although the one in the car is responding to heat is it worth me changing it anyway? I was thinking of returning it for a £37.50 refund.

When I bought the Arosa, the previous owner had just started a similar project. The sunvisors were covered in stickers, it took an age to get them tidy again.

No that's still in place, I'm focusing on the CTS as the temp gage is not moving above 55 degrees.

I've just had my 1.4 Arosa Head Gasket changed and head skimmed plus rad, cam belt, spark plugs and water pump. £740

Hi, Looking for some ideas. I checked the coolent temp sensor (cts) this afternoon. I have a 4 pin yellow banded CTS. Measured the two left pins, while the engine was warming up from cold and found the resistance going down, this is good :-) so the CTS is working. So I thought I would check the voltage going into the CTS, it measured 4.8v. That's all I have :-) anyone know where I go from here? I have putchased a new CTS from SEAT but don't want to use it if it's not required (it cost £37).

Il'll be very interested to know what you find as I have a similar issue. Just has to top up a the coolant after a new radiator and head gasket. Replacing the coolant temp sensor this weekend as it is not giving correct readings.

Cool beans - I bet that's a common request "use the bloody forum search feature" :-p

Have a search? Are you suggest I can get a good one from somewhere other than a VAG garage?
