Thermostat or is it
« on: 06 December 2011, 14:03:08 »

Hi i wrote a bit on here about engine revving on its own and my temp not going up and heater not very warm so the verdict was its cold running and causing the milky crap in breather pipes. Sure enough ive taken the top of and throttle body breather pipes milky inside At this point i thought are better drain rad so to do the stat so undone the rad drain plug and it dripped out didnt run out and yes i did take the cap of the tank so i was just wondering is it stat or could it be somthing else for the time it takes to take plenium of and put back on is it worth putting back on and trying to flush it before i start taking inlet manifold of .

No offence intended, but you might want to try using a full stop of a comma every so often, very, very hard to read!

1) What does the temp gauge say, after the car has been driven for 20 mins or so?

2) Engine reving, explain a bit more? At idle, at speed?

Avoid using engine flush, only last resort should it be used. You need to diagnose the problem first  :y
