Hi guys,
Recently I had some work done to my car by you guys which included a thermostat replacement/upgrade. But I think there is something wrong with it. Any normal driving except highway driving the temp needle will move 1/4 of the way up and then the engine bay fan will kick in. This happens alot. I could be driving on the highway and the needle will be sitting at 1/4 then get off the highway and stop at the traffic lights, give it 1min and it will move about 1/5-1/4 up and fan kicks in, cooling it down about an 1/8 and fan goes off but it just moves back up again and fan kicks in again after about another minute. I was in a Maccas drive through the other day, normal driving before I got to the drive through, and during the time it took to order and get my meal, the fan had turned on/off 4 times. It was in the space of about 5mins. It was 14 degrees outside. Today was the first day it was warm and the fan was on 50% of the time I was driving. And it was only topped 29degrees. You guys agree the thermostat could be the issue or something else? Thanks |

drop by and we will look at it.. it might have something to do with the raditator or thermostat.
The fans are set a little lower to keep engine temps down. We also can put the old thermostat back in but you will loose some power.. Call me tomorrow 9305 3000 Theo
