However I to have "Cold Heat" from my quattro. The engine never seems to heat up. The temp needle doesn't even get to the first mark on the gauge. I have tried cardboard on the radiator trick with no luck. I have replaced the thermostat twice. Both times I checked the thermostat in hot water and the old and new both seem to work according to specs. Is there some kind of by-pass that allows the coolent to flow by the thermostat? If so how does this work? An interesting point. A friend of mine has an '84 4000q and has the exact same two problems. Are these normal problems? ... My 4000q developed a low reading temperature guage; it too never got past the first mark. It turned out to be the temperature sensor which feeds the guage. About $30-40 and you're back in business. The heater in that car never really was that awesome... John M.
