I recently replaced a metal water hose that runs across the top of the engine (1.9l). After refilling the cooling system and attempting to bleed the air out my engine doesn't seem to get up to temperature. The guage used to sit in the middle, on top of the coolant level indicator. Now, after running it for at least 1/2 hour it guage barely goes to the coolant level indicator. The rad won't come on either. It's getting pretty cold where I live now but from past winters the temp gauage was reading hotter than today. any ideas........ Chad 85GL |
