temperature problems
Hi,
Has anyone ran into this problem yet?
1998 A4 2.8
Temp reading goes right to 90 deg. as soon as the car is started and keeps going up as the car is driven.
The electrical fan seems to be working, at least when the air conditioner was turned on it clicked on, then off when the AC was turned off but nothing otherwise...
anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks

Car was driven in this state for about an hour and went right up to 110 deg.

Re: another thing
The other day the AC went down, so I looked under the hood to check what it could be and noticed that a wire had been frayed(no idea why) so I reconnected it and the AC started again. then this...think there are any connection between the two?
the wires were the same so it seemed like a no brainer to put em back together

Thermostat should open at 87C. 95F is 35C.
It shouldn't even register on the gauge.I might try a temp sensor first. Cheap part easy to change. Thermostat is bit harder on a four cylinder, PITA on the 2.8L V6.If you replace the T-stat use an OEM.

Unlikely related but try those things first. Change both. My 00 already needs a temp sensor....
and your's is a 98. Also please try to start your replies in the subject line. Forum rules and you'll find that it makes for less confusing posts. Fix it before you drive it again. I'd hate to see you kill your motor over a $20 part.
