ScoobyScotty Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Hey guys. So I was driving, and my temperature gauge started to climb up. Climbed up over the highest and then dropped back to normal. It's been doing this all day today, I've been pondering what it could be, checking for oil in the coolant and visa versa but everything seems fine. Doesn't sound any different or go any different. Any ideas? I've read some pretty scary stories about head gaskets and things and I'm praying it's not anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Dodgy thermostat ? Do you have a OBD reader to monitor the temps in real time ? Ad the gauge is pretty useless Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobyScotty Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 Thanks stants, A lovely day in the sunshine changing the thermostat has seemed to have fixed it. Thanking my lucky stars its worked because was quoted £1500 plus VAT to do the head gaskets. Now just to put all the undertray back on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Good news mate ! Least it was a simple fix, If the worst happens don't bother with just having the heads replaced spend a bit more and get it totally rebuilt as the big end bearings tend to sustain a damage due to being pinched Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
