Hi all again.
After my trip to Devon (lots of hills) from the flatland of East Anglia I've noticed that my temperature guage appears to be rising above the "norm". When I say norm, I mean as it did prior to my trip to Devon. So just looking for a bit of advice really. Whilst on my way to work tonight, sat at a set of traffic lights the guage slowly Rose to just under 95 on the guage then dropped (assumed the fan kicked in then) to 86 ish. It always used to sit at a steady 86/87 irrespective of being stationary or not. Is this normal?
When I got to work I left my car running, popped the bonnet and waited to see if the fan came on, yep it came on just fine, but this time at about 92, then dropped to 85.
Am I right in thinking that I should perhaps start looking at changing the fan temperature switch?
I regularly check (at least once a week) oil and water levels and they are as they should be.
