What should I do if my temperature gauge starts to rise?
Start off and head toward a highway. Have the heat on HI, with the fan just enough ON so you can feel it. Then watch your gauge and air temp as the car warms up. the air should get warm in just a minute, before the gauge starts to rise. The, as the gauge rises, the heat will stabilize at HOT. then, if the gauge falls, what happens to the air temp?
Why does the temperature gauge fall at idle?
The difference might be that at highway speeds, the air blows hotter, but doesn’t at idle. This would mean air pocket in the coolant. if the air blows the same in both schemes, but the gauge still falls, remove the thermostat, ad drill a small hole thru it, max 1/8″.
What do you mean by temperature gauge is fluctuating?
Temperature gauge is fluctuating, sometimes showing overh… Q: Temperature gauge is fluctuating, sometimes showing overheating.
What causes a car’s temperature gauge to dip and rise?
If you are referring to the dip and rise as indicated by the temp. gauge, this is completely normal. There is a thermostat in the head which controls the coolant movement. When the water/coolant heats to a set temperature, such as 75 degrees C, a wax pellet expands the valve in the thermostat, and cooler water is passed into the head.
