Hi,

Another question for today - my temp guage has been working a little strangely for a while: the car seems to wam up ok, the temp guage settles around half, and then proceeds to sway down a little below half, then moves back up to half (never goes above!) -it seems to make these changes relatively slowly, and otherwise the car seems fine. The sway itself is quite small.

Having looked at posts here that i could find, i guess its either the thermostat or the coolant temp sensor.

My question is, how difficult is a thermostat change? Rave deals with it as being one and the same as a Coolant pump change, is it really that involved? Isn't there some easy way jsut to change the thermostat?

Cheers
 
Great, its normal then and no need to do any work :D

Im having a good day me.

only reason i was asking is since i read in a previous post this can be a symptom of a failing unit, plus, i never saw my temp guage do this before, it always stayed dead center - its only in the last years its been like this.
 
It is too much of a hassle to change it unless catastrophic failure

Engine warm, cabin warm - leave well alone
 
my 04 td4 sport is the same looked into the thermostat route £42 for stat then 5 1/2 hours to change like mark2 said unless it fails altogether as longs as the engine gets warm and cabin, don't fix it unless its broke
