AntelopeSam Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Hi all, My girlfriend is currently driving the Zed to work as her car is playing up and I'm still working from home. Lucky her! As usual it's up to me to get her car up to scratch again. This is where I would like a second opinion. Car in question: 65 plate Astra 1.4 turbo Temperature guage is on 90 before the engine is even turned on. (Though sometimes it's not!) After going for a drive the temperature started and stayed around 90, it used to be 90 all day long without moving a mm! Got home and checked the coolant hoses, radiator fins were still cold but then the fan came on and temp went through the roof! Obviously I killed the motor. To me this is signaling the thermostat but the speed of temperature change and it reading 90 even when cold makes me unsure, could it be just a temp sensor? (Electronic thermostat?) Thanks Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
