Does anyone know if it makes a difference what stat you use.
according to my Haynes manual for the 1300 engine you are supposed to have a 91/103 stat.
whereas a 1200 is supposed to use a 92/107 stat.
ie open at 92 and be fully open at 107.
have tried to get hold of a 91/103 stat and can't find one anywhere.
is it ok to use the 92?
the problem is I remember using my car last about 10 years back and the temp gauge used to fluctuate badly from hot to cold very quickly.
could this of been an issue with lack of water as I think I had a small air lock! Or does it mean my stat was no good?
i have tested the stat and measured it with a temp gauge and all seems fine. Opens and closes nicely at the right temps.
thanks for any replies.
