Hi,

 

Could someone help please? I have an 02 1.9TDi Galaxy that has started to develope a problem. I noticed that the temperature gauge on the dash was working intermitently. As the gauge drops the engine revs rise to just over 1100 rpm. When you are driving in low gears it launches you around the corners. When the temperature gauge rises the revs drop back to the normal 900 rpm. Also if you restart the car whilst it still warm it revs up as it starts & then drops back.

 

Many thanks

Hi Had the same problem a few years ago... Try the water Temperature sender unit, located--Back of engine block, right hand side. Buy an original more expensive- vw part replacement.. not patent as they may not be calibrated to match the E.C.U input corectly .. so you could still end up with rev probs ... Which i found out to my cost and waste of time... Happy days with correct unit.. hope it works for you A.T.Bst mate
