Dod Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 aw f****ng great will it kill the car if i drive with it ? is it a big job to change ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngreen537 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 No and No mate. If it's over cooling (cooling when you moving) not a massive problem, just means the engine not optimal. Changing it is a 2 bolt job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civicturbo79 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I would say that gauge is low as it looks like its sat on a 1/3 and it wants to be half , the thermostat is a 10 minute job to change . Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

civicturbo79 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 You will loose some coolant but only like a 1/4 to 1/2 a litre so you just need to top the system up after . Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
