Liam_D Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Got one slight problem to address which is quite gay to be honest Car runs at a really cold temperture all the time. Like the needle is constently on the C and when you stop at a set of lights or something the temp needle rises to the correct tempurture anyone know what this could be?Car runs fine and isnt overheating or anything. Anyone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
