dubloke 4 Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 am having a few small worries where my thermostat is concerned just lately and wondered if anyone can shed some light or give advice as to what could be the prob. had a stuck thermostat some while ago diagnosed by a lack of really warm air from the heater and the temp gauge not reaching normal operating temp.also had aslightly noisy aux pump, so changed the thermo for a neuspeed one and the aux pump for a vw bosch item, along with my samco's and g12 coolant. have had the hoses off a couple or three times since and changed coolant for various engine/gearbox mods, and have noticed that although it runs okay, normal temps etc, it smells like its overheating after a long blast, even though its not showing any other signs. head gasket was checked when vgi went in and shows no sign of probs. it has also just started to not always reach the normal running temp on the gauge again now, although the hot air seems okay from the heater itself! i cant believe the thermo has gone again, or could it? or could it be a main water pump on its way out? any of you guys with experience of this or know the symptoms?
