hamish Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Hey, wondering if anyone can shed some light on this problem I'm havin. Once my engine has heated up and the temp guage is sitting normal, when I pull away in 1st or 2nd, sometimes even third lol, the temp guage seems to take a little trip up north. Then when I'm at a steady speed it goes back down to normal. Has anyone had this problem or has any ideas of what it could be?Help would be much appreciated :surrender: Quote
micky boy Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Are you losing coolant? if so check you water pump How long ago did you change the thermostat? that could be sticking Quote
hamish Posted February 10, 2010 Author Posted February 10, 2010 Aye mate pretty sure it is. First noticed it happening yesterday when goin to work and fan was workin last night. Was doing same again this mornin, temp guage creeping up n goin bk to normal. Quote
Guest cheshireglanza Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 im running mine without fan dont over heat when it does say on temp gauge its over heating have you had look under bonnet could be just fault with temp gauge sensor Quote
hamish Posted February 10, 2010 Author Posted February 10, 2010 Can't see any coolant being lost mate. I don't have a clue when thermostat was last changed. Only had the car 6 month n havnt changed it while having it Quote
