Got a 300TDI defender, it’s always run a bit cool to the point the heater isn’t hot, gauge shows about 1/4.
Decided to change thermostat see if any improvement, put in a 88 degree and now the gauge is almost at top of black, but not ‘boiling’
Original was a Waxstat.
Put them both in a pan and the waxstat opens at a lot lower temperature than the new one.
Is the new gauge temp too high and do waxstats open at lower temperature than the 88 degree ones.Not altered anything else.
