Change thermostat
in the last couple of weeks I noticed my fan running when I got out of the car. In looking at the electronic gauge I noticed my temperature going from around 200 up to 240 in seconds and then going back down almost as fast. I am about to turn 56,000 miles so I'm out of warranty. Back around 22,000 miles I had an over heating issue which required a couple of trips to the dealership. Eventually the thermostat was changes and problem solved. I think I might try that again. In looking at the engine, it looks like changing the thermostat is a pretty easy job so I might try it out. Has anyone done this yet? any issues?
Thanks
