Title: Thermostat?
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 24 June 2010, 19:29:46

Now my car is taking quite a while to warm up to temp (85 - 90). Might this be the thermostat?  :-/

20 minutes or so, seems strange in this warm weather  ::)  and the LPG takes longer to switch over which really gives me the jitters!!!  :D

Yep, that is too long and could well indicate a sticky thermostate ;) ;)

Yep, sits at 85 -90ish when cruising, but gets hotter when stuck in traffic or up a hill behind a tractor!! >:(

But my fans aren't working properly, so I'm putting new fan switches in next week and maybe I'll do the thermostat as well. May as well flush the heater matrix while I'm at it!! ::)
