Quote from: "Turbinepowered"
Because of the thermostat and it's functions, time to warm up the block/ initial warmup times shouldn't matter. The extra thermal mass in the radiator doesn't enter into the equation...
That is likely correct sir.  :)

Were the thermostats and temp gauges the same?

In my case yes since on both rebuilds I used the same part number thermostat and as regards gauges I had the Mk2 16V GTI Motometer clocks in both my Golfs so gauges were the same, sender units were the same, and both gauge sets came off ebay  :P
