Hi guys, I hope someone can give me some advice.... I know this is the best place to ask.
I recently blew a radiator hose, the lower one connecting to the water pump. No big deal, replaced it the other day..... However it seem the car temp is bit higher than it should be - while in traffic it gets to half way, the second fan also kicks in - this is still normal but it never used to get that high.
I'm a bit concerned. Is it possible my thermostat is faulty ? My car has done 140,000 km.....
-- just to note, I still haven't topped up with coolant - only plain water in my radiator at the moment.
Hope you guys can help.
Cheers.
