Hello colleagues.
The problem seems to be complex and I hesitated between starting this topic in the heating, mechanics section and this one. I chose this section due to the fact that the end symptom concerns the electronics in the car.
Symptoms:
1. The car does not heat up even during very hard driving. The temperature on the indicator on the board and channel C49 on the climatronic shows about 64 degrees.
2. The car overheats when stationary and the fans do not turn on. Temperature checked at the same time in 4 places:
a) 90 degrees on the pointers on the board,
b) 96 degrees on channel C49 climatronic
c) 100 degrees on the OBD2 reader
d) 114 degrees measured with a laser thermometer on the pipes at the temperature sensor
3. The OBD2 scanner does not show any errors.
Replaced thermostat (opens properly at about 80 degrees). The coolant temperature sensor has been replaced with a new one but a replacement.
Checked:
both fans work on both speeds when connected briefly to the battery
a voltage of about 5V is fed to the temperature sensor
the fans are turned on as in the plug from the temperature sensor a jumper is in
Any sensible hint of the importance of gold in this case. Thanks for showing interest!
