coolant

I've owned a couple of VW's and Audi's and they all got up to 90 degrees temperature and stay at that for the duration of journeys. On my 2019 T6.1 Kombi it never gets to 90 degrees but seems to fluctuate below it and takes a long time to get up even near 90 - usually staying at 70 degrees...

Had a low coolant level warning this morning. When I looked at the expansion tank it was about 1cm below the minimum mark but the cap was fully unscrewed and just sat on the top of the threads. Van was in for a service a couple of weeks ago but I can't think why they'd have removed it...

Hello everyone. Does anyone know what temperature sensor the OBD2scan is reading from correctly? I am driving a 2017 T6 110kw. I noticed a few months ago that my gauge of my coolant was very slow to warm up and in some cases did not even reach 90. My mechanic told me my thermostat was probably...
