Hi all,
A continuation of my earlier post:
My flatmate a mechanic ordered me in a thermostat before I had a chance to say OEM please.
Anyway I installed it and it seems no bettter than the last, sigh.
This morning is a luke warm heater again, low engine temp and the radiator is warm. That is it's is passsing water when cold.
So what am I doing wrong here? I know OEM was suggested by why should this be differant for a brand new one?
Then the more tricky question can anyone describe it's operation in detail. It seems to me to have two valves. One is smaller and mates downwards onto a valve face for the smaller block hoses. The thing is I noticed when I hot water tested the "faulty" one this valve CLOSED when it got hot. This seems back to front to me? Can anyone confirm this?
