Took it into Seat, they don't know what is wrong with it! Annoying I know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teflon Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 or it might be a dodgy coolant temperature sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAM Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Mine does the same. It's sooooooo annoying especially when its cold and you want to put the heaters on in the morning and dont know whether its going to be warm or cold air style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />i found if i put my foot down a bit it would shoot up and when i let off it would shoot back down to zero again. realy starting to annoy me. my boss says sounds like a sticky switch but i need it looking at.

Gavs_arosa16v Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Its the temp sender unit, its a common fault. Do a search on the site, its easy to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
