Ok Listees here is one for ya After many hours of diagnosing our blinking temp sensor on our 83.5 Westy- we have flushed it, replaced thermostat, sensor and water pump and replaced rear heater core( it was leaking) I think we finally are making some headway. We took it for a 100 mile drive yesterday and everything seemed fine. The temp guage was half way to the LED. Once we got on the freeway it started goin down. Now its startin to get cold here in Ohio but is the temp guage supposed to do this? It went down as far as it can go at some points. Is this normal? It would start going back up as soon as I got off the freeway to "normal" levels. After the trip I looked things over and everyting seemed fine. Thats a lot of cold air hitting the front of the van but I cant believe that it would register nothing at all. We are using a very measured 50/50 solution as well and the coolant level is still where it was when we started. Any ideas? -Mike |
