temp gauge - pauldiesel - 24-10-2013
the temperature gauge on the wifes 1.6 306 seems very slow to move and doesn't even go as far as 80 degrees, even on a run up the motorway temp dropped right down to cold, should I change the thermostat first before looking at other possibilities??
I don't know how long its been doing this as I only found out the other night as I had to use her car for work as the auxiliary belt snapped on my XUD.
cheers in advance

Change the stat, flush the system and refresh the coolant, tu engines love 90-95 degrees
