Title: fluctuating temperature guage.
Post by: Marc Taylor on 03 April 2010, 12:02:21

my car takes ages to warm up. When its left and warmed up as soon as i start driving the temp guage slowly starts going down and faster i drive the colder it gets. Would changing the thermostat fix this problem or could it be something else? Cheers in advance
