Having a few probs with my car temp and not quite sure what the problem is.
After starting my car the temp is obviously on the blue line, but after about 5 mins of driving it will shoot up to 1/4 or 1/2 temp then after a few seconds it will just drop straight away back down to just under a 1/4. It keeps doing this for some reason, especially when waiting in traffic.
I checked underthe bonet and the pipes are boiling hot, and so is the header tank, which im sure isnt meant to happen. I was thinking maybe the thermostat is playing up and not opening/closing at the right times.
If anyone could shed any light on to this problem id be very grateful. :)
Cheers
