Strange cooling behavior at 0F ambient

[TM]

Sorry Scott-
Our A4 1.8T had no such behavior. When the temp sender died,
the gauge did not register correctly, that was about it.

As some of us have no doubt noticed, the last week or so saw some 0 to
-10F weather here in the Northeast. Nothing compared to certain other
climes, but my 98A41.8 sure acted funny.

At those temperatures the coolant temperature guage, normally rock solid
straight up (half way) once the engine is fully up to temperature, would
not rise above 1/4 up. It was almost as if I had a stuck thermostat. I
say almost because engine temperature did not vary with speed. Now that
the temps have returned to above 0F it is acting normally again.

So, is this normal? Anyone else experience this?

Thanks,

Scott
