Default Tempature Worry

I have a A6 Quattro 98.... The tempature is almost always on "C" everyonce in a while is turns on and goes to the half way point. What is possible things I can check and do to fix this problem?

Do a search for "coolant temperature sensor". You probably have a black one and it needs to be replaced.

It might be as simple as a bad connection.

Sounds like your temp guage is fault. Like it activates only once in a while due to a bad connection.

well i did some research and its only abad connection if it springs from "c" to the halfway point if its taking like 30 seconds to 2 mins to get from c to halfway then its either your sensor or your thermostat itself ... those are a pain in the neck to replace ... so unless its liek instantly jumping then ur screwed

good luck man

Audi will cover the Sensor for some models b/w 01 and 04 up to 100k miles.
