Variable steady-state temps
Hello,
Sometimes my gauge reports a steady-state temp. of around 160, sometimes it reports a steady-state temp of around 220. Before, it used to always settle on a steady-state temp of 160, but the car is getting old and so forth. I've had the radiator replaced recently. My uncle suggested that the thermostat is sticking, and I should replace it. Just thought I'd check with the tech heads here before going ahead with that. Also, if I need to replace it, are there any good articles or should the Chilton's suffice?
Thanks,
Tristan
