Hi there,
I own a Qubo 1.3 MJT 95CV, year 2012, and its engine takes really long to heat up to 90 degrees.
With an outside temperature of 0 degrees, internal heating at full blast, the engine does not exceed 55 degrees. If I switch off the internal heating, the temperature can rise up to 90 degrees and the thermostat valve opens, but if I park the car with engine running idle, the temperature gets down to 50 degrees again.
The thermostat is brand new and it behaves like the old one. I'd say it works as it should: the outlet big pipe connected to it stays cold until 85 degrees, when it opens, letting the water to the radiator.
Does anyone have noticed such cold engine (and insufficient heating) in winter, with outer temperatures BELOW ZERO??
Comments are more than welcome!
