Okay, now cooling prob is back, what do I do!
Sorry to bother you guys.
My car has some across a new problem. The cooling. Okay it has had it's cooling go wrong before, but it seemed to sort it self out, for a week I think, lol. Anyway. If i idle the car in trafic or anywhere for no more then 3 - 10 seconds, or driving below 20Km/s she will start to get hot and go into the red band area. But if I am driving along, the temp will stay half way, where it should be! I have now stopped using the car because of this.
Now, I don't know a lot about the cooling on this car. However I am guessing it's one of two things.
1. Trappened air in the system somewhere.
2. Stuck or stickky thermostat?
I'm thinking it's the latter. Can anyone point me in the right direction here. Oh while I was driving, I got a COOLANT TEMP. warning on my display.
Please someone help me here!
Thanks so much!
