- Mercedes C180 1995, Renault Cangoo, Mazda 326, Kia heap but still goes.
Purchased C180 a little while ago, but am now going nuts trying to find fault that has recently occurred.
Temperature gauge rises and then drops some time as much as 15 degrees within moments.
This does not happen all the time, drove 45miles at 70+ mph other day no problem then whamo up to 120+ then down / up.
When stopped with ignition off, but key in, temp has jumped and decreased on several occasions.
Temp sensor changed, thermostat changed, engine earth lead found almost off refitted. Still no joy.
Any ideas greatly appreciated, before the big branch starts hitting vehicle (faulty towers)
