Hey John,
It was just under the max, I topped it up before doing what Morrie suggested, I will take it for a run later and see how long it takes.
I've also fired a message off to VW to moan and see if they will have a look at it under warranty, so will see what they say in reply.....I'm not...
Thanks Mottie,
I did as suggested and it definitely gets hot suddenly so the stat seems to be working.
It appears that the heater hoses aren't getting any heat when idiling.
I'll have a proper dig at it tomorrow
Cheers for your help
I have a 2017 Polo GTi, last winter I realised it took a while to heat up inside the car (around 10 minutes of actual driving), fast forward 6 months and the car started loosing coolant and went in for a warranty repair (replaced thermostat housing) which fixed the leak.
Since the cold weather...
I've just checked one of my 2 port valves and I'm sure it's a gonner but just checking.
If it's a full valve replacement will it need a system drain, is it DIYable and if not how much is it likely to cost to repair?
Thank you
