Where to Check the Coolant Temperature in the Sagitar?
2 Answers
The Volkswagen Sagitar's coolant temperature gauge is located on the instrument panel. It is a digital gauge with a scale ranging from 50°C to 130°C. The normal operating temperature is indicated at the middle position, which is 90°C. Below are the reasons why the coolant temperature gauge may not move: 1. The power wire of the coolant temperature gauge is broken, or the heating coil of the gauge is burnt out. 2. The heating coil of the coolant temperature sensor is burnt out, or the contact points are poorly connected. 3. The wiring of the coolant temperature sensor is poorly connected or broken. 4. The voltage regulator supplying stable power to the coolant temperature gauge circuit is damaged. Below is some relevant information about the coolant temperature gauge: 1. The coolant temperature gauge displays the temperature of the coolant, helping the driver understand the vehicle's condition. 2. When the vehicle's coolant temperature is too high, the driver should stop and let the vehicle rest, waiting until the temperature drops back to the normal range before continuing to drive.
I used to wonder where to check the Sagitar's coolant temperature until one time when I almost got into trouble due to soaring temperatures during a highway traffic jam. Now I know: on the left-central part of the dashboard, there's usually a small gauge with a thermometer icon. After starting the car, you can see the needle or digital display. The normal temperature is around 90 degrees Celsius, and warning lights will flash if it's too low or too high. I make it a habit to glance at this spot before driving to ensure the engine cools properly, especially during long summer trips. It's tucked between the speedometer and tachometer, easily overlooked by new drivers, but ignoring it can lead to engine overheating and costly repairs. I recommend regularly topping up the coolant to keep the temperature within a safe range—this habit can save you a lot on repair bills.
