Hi
Seems ok now, the heat started to come through the vents much quicker and hotter from start up. I drove 3 times around the block and the temp needle stayed just below 1/2 on the gauge. The 2 heater matrix hoses are both a the same (hot) temperature but the bottom radiator hose is still cold, is that right ?
Also noticed a slight drop in revs when coming to a stop or reversing, tachometer seems to settle at 750rpm, is that too low?
I have taken the car on a 20 mile drive and the temp needle stayed at 1/2 way. However whilst waiting at traffic lights on the way home the needle started to claim to 3/4. It seemed to stay there until I moved off so on the drive I let the needle claim again to 3/4, when I revved the engine, the needle dropped back to 1/2 ? The bottom hose from the thermostat is more aired than hot (although it's new), could it be the thermostat or the viscous fan ?
