Title: Temperature gauge!!
Post by: devilscaff on 23 May 2013, 17:44
On starting my car the needle goes right across to the other side and the red light flashes. Iv just service the car and replaced the coolant and bled the system, it was fine first week. I no theres plenty of water in and the level is fine. Also before changing the coolant the fan would kick in if stood still for a short time does this mean the rad is old and not up to the job? Ta
