Hi Gaz. It sounds like you had an air lock in the heater matrix that has cleared its self today as that would explain both the water suddenly going down and the sudden working heater. Have you had any work done on the cooling system recently? |

The temp would have gone up a bit as the airlock traveled round the system. If it is OK now I wouldn't worry about it. But keep an eye on the water level to see if it carries on going down. |

Stwat mate, mine goes over 90 for the time being; what must be checked first? Regards Salar |

Does the fan clutch kick in when it reaches 100? If it's not overheating I wouldn't worry about it. You may simply have a higher rated/winter thermostat fitted. Stu |

No definitely, it would not reach 100 in any case, but I mean it does exceed the threshold of 90, and only then the clutch engages

Change the thermostat and coolant. That will probably sort it out

I have already changed the coolant, however, which thermostat do you mean?
