hey everyone,
Looking for some help, on a recent road trip my car would not warm up to the normal 90C on the temp guage. I blocked off the rad better, top and bottom with some pipe insulation, and on a shorter drive (60 miles) the temp went up to normal. on the return trip though, as soon as i would turn our interior heat on, the temp would drop just off the hash mark at 90 degrees. After reading through some of threads on here im thinking its our thermostat. maybe its stuck open, so when i turn the interior heat on its draws the heat from the rad system, causing the temp to drop slightly?
any thoughts?
