Cooling Problems Sorted
Discussion
Ever since ive had the car its run cool.
If i started the car up and drove off straight away, after 20mins it was just reaching 50 degrees.
If i started it and let it run on the driveway for about 20mins it would reach 70, then slowly go up to 75 then the fan would come in.
Over the past couple of weeks i noticed that i had an airlock behind the dash (strange gurgling sound) so i decided to get it sorted at Tower View today.
Mark replaced the Thermostat, which was stuck open, as well as the temp sensor and fan control switch.
The result is that it now goes up to 80 and the car is lovely and warm....problem solved, thanks to Mark.
Edited to say that the old seized 88 degree stat was replaced with a new 82 degree stat.
