IceMan Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Great link. I'm starting to think the stat has gone again... had the car running up to temp today. Seems that heat gradually builds up from the top pipe from the radiator starting from the engine side working its way toward the rad. Bottom pipe was stone cold . If the water pump was working correctly should i notice some kind of flow of water when looking at the water in the rad. I just watched the water and it seemed stagnant, no flow. And as i said bottom pipe was cold so theres no water getting carried around the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
