Started the car up today and while driving noticed the coolant temp never moved off zero. I drove for about 30 miles on the highway around 50-65mph.

Is the sensor PN 059-919-501-A also, does the purems one come with the clip? it says it comes with the o-ring

Outside temp read 35 degrees with the snowflake and the 0w40 M1 oil temp read 175 degrees. Is this oil temp a little low for that distance of a drive? Maybe its just because its cold out here, but I still seem to recall it getting to 200 degrees F.

Thoughts?

i would guess thermostat , is it still the original one in there?

Any idea how to test if its the sensor or if its the thermostat? IS that oil temp low?

2nd. If the oil temprature does not go up, it's more likely the t-stat

a4avant99

oil temperature should be at 200 on high way in this season if the t-stat is good

Oil temp goes to 175, but the coolant temp doesnt even get off the zero mark

Would someone mind explaining how these work together/with each other

Nevermind. i got it. So my problem is probably a thermostat that is stuck open?

It is not stuck open, but opens at lower temperature. Mine did this, and was replaced
