Because my friend, there is a lot of piping... and as good as its, vw
designers are not gods... one little tiny area of just a wee bit of seepage
(including potential headgasket seepage, which some say is present from day
one), can change the pressure which can change the temperature... besides,
more than once, even many times, I've turned heater & heater fan on, and
watched the temp guage go down a notch to wear I feel more psychologically
comfortable... I like it best never more than just a hair below the middle
of the LED. I have seen it on in certain circumstances, (rate of travel
speed, temp, duration of idle time, weather, traffic conditions, et) go a
hair above the middle LED, I try to never let it get there. I'm already
using my heater as a second thermostat, but I don't like getting myself hot
all the time. Harbor and the 405, Santa Ana, the 55, and other places are
sometimes sticking points.
