Well changed oil and started up this morning the tap was still there. Old oil was dark but no signs of copper in it with light or metal shavings- narrowing down the tap possibly.

Well the stock dash temp guage shot all the way to H after car was running for 1min. After market was still at 40deg. Top tank felt normal as did hoses. Disconnected temp sensor and it stoped to below c- possibly eliminating elec issue.

Reconnected it and shot to h again. After market guage read 70deg and nothing seemed abnormal except guage and the thermostat housing felt hot to touch.


So could it be stock temp sensor? Air lock(I Didnt touch cooling system at all except to check rad level) or blocked/stuck thermo stat.

If it was thermostat wouldn't after market temp read higher to? It 10cm along in the top hose too.


Grrrrr
