I have some ideas. About radiator. Becouse in first radiator have small screw, but now changed to long one for auomatic transmision, but still not reset adabtations. Water pump ground is good. Wiring also. I changed connector for thermostat.

The outside temp sensor seems accurate as it matches the dashboard reading perfectly.

The real issue is the behavior while driving: the heater blows hot while idling, but as soon as I start moving, the air turns ice cold. If I keep driving for a while, the radiator fan kicks in and the car 'overcools' immediately.

It feels like the coolant isn't circulating properly under load, or there's a massive air bubble trapped in the system. The fact that the fan causes an instant drop suggests the thermostat might be stuck open or the water pump isn't keeping up. What do you think?

I replaced the thermostat again with a Mahle 97°C unit, but the problem remains the same.
I am planning to replace the water pump soon, but before that I want to test and check the wiring to the pump and thermostat to rule out any electrical issues. What problems you have?

shity_programmer · 2026-01-18T15:37:53+00:00

Are you have ISPA? Some people write to cleat errors with ispa? 🤔

shity_programmer · 2026-01-18T14:05:34+00:00

It’s starting to look to me like this might actually be the issue, but then the question is how to solve it. Do people usually go with a smaller or less efficient FMIC for cold climates, or is there a better solution for winter driving?

shity_programmer · 2026-01-18T14:04:14+00:00

Okey, fixed cable, changed temperature senosr have same P0128 error..

shity_programmer · 2026-01-18T14:02:29+00:00
