Hello, i am not from UK so in advance i apologise for my english
I had my car for about a year and 2 mounths now, bet working perfectly, passed 20000km since i got it.
I noticed my coolant temperature fluctuate between 80 and 70 for about 20km before reaching operating temp of 90 (outside temperature >20C), but in cold mornings its less apparent (temperature < 15C). I canged thermostat for non OEM one (brand ERA), but problem seems even slightly worse than before, but i also noticed when the fluctuations start happening if i stop and just turn engine off and on again, it gets to 90C very fast - this i dont know if worked on old stat, never tryed. When car hits 90 it stays there, i was going on 500km trips and no problems, only once on highway when i was doing 200kph and suddenly let go the gas medal temp droped to 80 but got back to 90 very fast (i assume stat was being open to cool the engine because of the high load and stayed opet for a couple of ceconds after i let go of gas pedal.
No leaks of colant, nothing, temperature never got past 90, no overheating, fuel consuptions is very good, i dont drive pedal to the metal (about 5l/100km, mixed driving, mainly open road around 90kph)
Could it be that new stat i got is defective also?
I found threads on this forum describing the same problems, but no solutions, someone says its the stat, somene says changing the stat didnt help.
Regards and thank you for your help
