Title: warm up takes ages....
Post by: GavG60 on 05 March 2004, 10:07

over the last year, I've noticed that its started to take a while for the needle on the water temp to rise above minium...is this the warm up valve?

its not the thermostat cos that's new.... ???

mine takes yonks also, and always has

aslong as it dont overheat im not too worried

only reason for yours taking so long would be a stuck open thermostat
