Hey all.
I think i have an issue with that my thermostat is stuck open. Takes longer then it used to to heat up in the mornings (I know its cold now but still). When i'm driving along. Temp never goes above 1/4 of the way. However, if im in slow moving traffic or sat at traffic lights. Temperature would raise up to half way as normal. But as soon as i start to get some speed again (probs 15+mph), drops right down to 1/4 again.
I'm going to order a thermostat tonight as that what i think it is, probably still has the original one in anyway. Tho these hose clips look like they will be a pain as they're not a standard jubilee clip :bang:
In case im wrong does anyone have any ideas of what else it could be?
For info, talking about a 05 1.8 HGT abarth
