Title: Low temprature on engine
Post by: DanielF on 22 January 2009, 21:37:29

Hi folks!
I have a problem on my 2.0 16V 1997 mod. Omega. The engine temp. is very low, specially when I'm using the heater and drive at a steady pace. The only time the temp is getting up to 90 degs. is when I turn down the heater and drive with high revs on the engine. Is it the thermostat that is stuck open or could it be something else?

Most probably the 'stat jammed open....

I hope so. I'll change it and hope it fixes the problem! Thanks! :)

I had a similar problem. Mine only got remotely warm on the guage after a fair old up-hill drag.
Changed the stat and it was sorted.  :y

Same problem for me too on my LPG V6.  The needle only moves when sat in traffic, after a good long run.  It warm up much quicker when LPG and heating is off, although not a quick as it should do.  I think LPG has a cooling effect too.

I take it Stat for the V6 is just as problematic as on a 2ltr?

Cheers
