thermostat?

<< < (2/2)

TRACMAN:
Hi i have had a similar problem for the 4 years of owning my sporty efi, but OK using it locally but as soon as i get up above 50 mph roads the temp went off the scale, and to cut a long story short it turn out to be the thermostat only opening slightly. i have renewed it now (choice of 3 and i got the correct one in the end!) and fitted it and now its fine and OK flat out.
I also had to use the heater blower to cool the engine before i changed the thermostat.
I also have a used radiator and a good viscous fan coupling if you need one.
Hows your sporty doing now?

well word has it that its fine now and after a road test its deemed repaired!! (we shall see) apparently it was a coolant leak from soemwhere, aklthough i never noticed any patches of anything underneath it anywhere. nightmare, im picking it up monday morning so we shall see whether i can get to work or not and ill keep you posted. :doh:
