original thermostat goes bad after 1 year?
bought original on 27.10.2014 for mad dosh, it was previously on my mk1 which is now unregistered, still dunno whats wrong with it probably headgasket...
it was working fine on mk1, then thermostat on my mk2 1.2 went bad so i just swapped it, and since then temp gauge is constantly fluctuating, it warmps up quickly to middle withing first few km but when i set fan speed to 1 and to hot it goes down
was monitoring temperature via torque program and when temp gauge needle went down, temp dropped from 81 to 76 and then up to 81 again in like 7sec, it eventually settles to middle and stays there, dunno why it plays around like that at the beginning
bled it many times and still same ****, i remember i had same problem with fake thermostat one time, doesnt matter how many times i would bleed it, it was still doing what i described above, i bought new one and problem was solved
is temp dropping for 5 degrees celsius doing something bad to engine?
is it even worth it buying another original thermostat if it goes bad a little over after 1 year when warranty ends, unless i am doing something wrong
