Well Sam92, I've just spent 3 hours on this water issue, and now I just have the shits.....
It all looks plumbed ok...... ??????
- Car running at idle, for OVER 20 mins during the day, and temp only just got to 82deg, and wouldn't go any higher than 84deg. (on the Microtech Hand controller) That sensor is on the remote thermostat housing.
- The aftermarket temp gauge I have, has the sensor on the top radiator pipe, and that is only reading 70deg when the other sensor mentioned above is at 84deg
- Third temp gauge is the stock dash one, which hardly gets off Cold.
I have thoroughly bled the system.
I have checked the thermostat, and it's not stuck open.
Bottom radiator pipe stayed cold until the thermostat housing got to 82deg (as it should), but then would get colder when it started to open and close up again
If I turn the heater on, the water temp drops and stays cold.....
All water lines feel hot by touch, except bottom radiator hose. (bottom hose only got a little warm when the thermostat was trying to open)
I should be able to work this out, as I have done many 4age conversions now, but I have never had this issue.....
