Just got the car back from the garage as its had a cam belt done, apollo fitted and 2 of the coolant hoses replaced. On the way home the temp gague is just under the red but not into it. The fan does come on and TBH I have never noticed it on before when I have turned off the engine (it stays on) - anyway I have been been looking at the threads on here associated with this.
I think I may have air in there - mention is given in other threads to the hoses being hot - car has now cooled for just under and hour now and the top hose is hot but he lower ones are hardly warm at all - what is the significane of them all being hot ?
The needle before this work always used to sit in the middle of the gague.
Oh and one more thing when I went up a hill on the way home (40/45 mph drive for 5 miles) the temp gague rapidly fell back towards the middle ??!!??
any idea chaps ?
Come to Wighblat 08 and have a slice of my birthday cake
