How's it going everyone I just had the timing belt and water pump done on the caddy and I have noticed when the van reaches 90 on the temp gauge if I put the heater on the temp gauge will drop.
This is not happening when driving along but when I am going slow or in traffic and put the heater on.
Is this normal ?

Re: Heating issues
Drop as in instantly or over time?
Its normal on any vehicle for the temp to drop when the heaters are put on, it's a good way of getting an over heating car home but if its an instant noticeable thing you might have an air bubble in the system.

Re: Heating issues
When the heaters go on it will hold at 90 for a few seconds and then drop.
It kinda fluctuates then slightly until the heater is turned off.

Re: Heating issues
Hello I have it the same on my 1.6 tdi caddy. When I have to heat and not going fast, the temperature of water is dropping (when outside temp is under 5 C). If i turn off heating, it stays on 90. Do not trust that temperature anyway, it is not showing the exact value.
