Dave_P Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 In May posted about my 1600k overcooling running quickly and very speedy increase when stood. Made a brass elbow bleed/filler placed next to heater. No air locks, no change. Decided to try another thermostat this Saturday. Out for a blattett this morning hey presto perfect temp control. Rock solid at speed, slow increase stood, fan cuts in cools as it should. So it would seem that the old "new" thermostat wasn't working as it should. The new thermostat has a hole but has a small jiggle valve in it. This is a standard 88 deg thermostat from a general car spares. So there you go. Thanks again for all response to original cry for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jonathan Kay Posted July 4, 2016 Member Share Posted July 4, 2016 Did you test the old one after removal, or have you still got it?JonathanPS: How about putting a link to this thread from the old one? That might help someone with the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_P Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Yes still have. I will get hold of a thermometer this weekend and test it. Thats the easy bit. Yes it is right that I should share the info but I have no idea where to start, "link" , "thread". To me a link is a part of a timing chain and a thread is something that a screw gets stuck in. I Will seek advice. Thanks Antony, Jonathan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
