View Full Version : car wont warm up
my car dusnt seem 2 warm up :?
i have to leave it runnin for around 15mins just sittin there on the drive for the needle 2 reach about 1/8th on the temp gauge....
if iv been ragin it for sum time and then park up with my engine running the gauge will read about 3/8....
if im drivin constantly even if im ragin it the needle pretty much stays at the coldest reading on the gauge :shock:
not sure if this temp is average or ok but seems abit 2 cold 2 me wot do people think???
could it just be the wether :?:
happened on my old swift gti
thermostat was sticking open!
mind you better than sticking closed! :roll:

I reckon it could be the thermostat you know.
in the stat housing on the rigth side of the head as u look from front of the car. whip off the housing n pop out old stat, new one costs cupla quid, pop in new one with new seal, do up bolts again and refil the coolant through header tank to right level. run engine with top off the header tank to bleed the system for twenty mins or so. look at lovely perfectly positioned temp needle in car. job done!! :D
quick pic of stat housing!!

its easy mate, just be very careful with the bolts holding the housing on
might be worth ordering some spares from Renault just in case, i needed 2 new ones when doing mine and they dont keep em in stock
Free most of the day wednesdays, tuesday afternoons, and sunday afternoons
Give me a bell on 07977 236763 if you can't manage it and we'll sort something
