akyakapotter Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 It can't be mate pretty sure of it, I've tried two now and the one I took out was working fine with the kettle test, the other is brand new.Taking it out will definately let it run warm because its like a big gaping hole as opposed to the stat only being a small hole even when open.I'm wondering if the hg is going, causing boost to pressurise the cooling system and force the stat closed? Hence why on idle its fine, but as soon as I drive it goes coldSuppose there is only one way to find out rip it apart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 I don't want to without knowing first though? :/Can't be stat though surely? 2 of em that look to be working when tested, one brand new...can't be faulty? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A L 3 X Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Very true nick, but that was the old one, what's the chancesOf a new one being faulty too, I think I'd be trying to convince myself it ain't the hg if I believed that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
