Hope this help. I'd have it replaced ASAP as your mpg goes down hill plus it's bad for engine components.
P.S: thinking about throwing the "worthless" sign but I'll give you a break until your problem solved  |
Thanks a lot for your swift reply. I'll have it looked at asap. Is it worth to replace the waterpump as well? The stealers here in Sweden are looking for $500 to replace the thermostat. As I figure it the only really tough bit about changing it is that I need to remove the fan + bleed the coolant from the system. Correct?
