However, I think my directions are for the AWM motor only.

 

mine's a AEB engine -_-'
Darnit, your instructions were simple yet great enough to do the job... loll

 

The reason your oil temp wouldn't go up is because the coolant also cools/warms the oil.

 

What weather conditions are you guys talking about driving in; i.e. temp..? thanks!

 

Also, motor is brand new with only 13,000 k

 

Hi
I have an Audi A4, 2.8 1999 model car. I noticed that the engine temperature needle stay's at C instead of being in the middle ie between C and H on the instrument panel. Also i noticed that the heater blows cold air. My car has a minor water pump leak. So i fill coolant once every 1000 miles. Is my problem ( Needle being at C) due to water pump leak or thermostat problem. The car has 133000 miles on it. Which one could be the best bet water pump or thermostat. I am trying know this so that i can plan my budget accordingly. I was told water pump replacement costs 1000 dollars and the thermostat around 100 dollars. Wanna take your advise before i spend even a penny on this car.

 

any suggestions on my case. Please refer to the id rvalternative09. I drive my in winter conditions.
