thanks - my only concern was that when it last touched 100 I had a new head gasket !!

was told never to let it get to there - now it seems this could be the upper end of 'normal' !?

thanks for that - I have read that the temp guage is inaccurate though - when i say running hot - its 'normal' reading is just above 85.

it has sat there no matter what, now it fluctuates.

is it normal for the temp to vary so much dependant on the heater / aircon etc?

after the whole head gasket going before I didn't want to take any risks

Hi everyone -

I have searched every forum and can't seem to find subjects to fit.

I have an 02 2.2 petrol with an LPG conversion.

5 months ago I had the head gasket changed.

the last coupe of days the temp gauge has been varying from 85 to 95 dependant on if the air con is on or if the heater is on ??

EG - no aircon / no heat - 85 ish

air con on / no heat - 95

air con with heat on (just to limit the temp) - 90

took it to a garage and they said that there was some air in the system !! (£25 quid please)

Anyone have any ideas?

Would appreciate any help (not techie at all but love the car 117k and climbing.

thx Chris
