Hi guys,
My car has been over heating , I initially thought it was the fan switch and changed it but its still overheating.
I think the problem must be the thermostat, because as the car is running the thermostat gets very hot but the pipes goig into the radiator, and the radiator itself remain relatively cool.
If my assumption is right and it is the thermostat - I need to remove it. Im having a bit of a problem removing it from the pipe! I can remove it from the cylinder head without any problem but how do i remove it from the piping? There is a weird kind of jubilee clip with a plastic bit holding it in place and I dont want to damage anything! So I guess Im asking, do you think my problem is the thermostat and how do i remove it from the pipe!?
Thanks in advance,this board is great.
