G'day,
I have a 1989 celsior with 98,000km's on it. What i'm querying is the temp guage's reading?> It only goes up about 4 lines.
From what i understand i must check the thermostat, the sensor and the gauge. As well as to see if the hyrdraulic fan is constantly on. After the car 'warms' up it will happily idle around 500rpm or somewhere down there. Does the idle depend on the temperature?
Is so is the engine actually warming up properly and the guage is not displaying this? The previous owner (only had it for a week) says he had the dash and its components all checked before hand to fix a bad earth on a few wires.
It will happily heat the car upto 32C inside though, so i'm suspecting its the guage right?
Cheers
