List,


 


In the last 25K miles, I've replaced my radiator, water pump, thermostat, and just last night, my temp sensor that sends the signal to the dash.  I did the sensor in hopes of getting my dash gauge to sit in the middle over the flashing bulb, but it's still at ¾ when at running temp.  Is there any way to get the needle to the middle??  It just seems so illogical.  


 


Also, I was told by a couple list members that the system is self-bleeding and I wouldn't have to bleed it after changing my temp sensor.  Well, I'm not seeing any change in the coolant levels of my expansion tank(s) after losing at least a few cups in the process of swapping sensors.  What's up with that?  Just to be sure, I'm going to go for a drive tonight with the heat all the way on and see what happens.


 


Thanks,


 


Andrew
