Radiator Fan & Temp Gauge
Was losing minimal coolant and fan would occasionally come on high until I
replenished the coolant level -- but the temp gauge remained steady at just
below half. I thought it was venting out through the reservoir so I changed
the thermostat and now the problem has intensified! After the thermostat
change, the radiator fans now come on at about 1/2 on the temp gauge AND
the temp gauge then fluctuates between mid-point and almost max. So, I
completely evac-ed the coolant system and then used a vacuum method for
replenishing the coolant. But, the engine doesn’t seem to be running hot.
Bottom line to the question is: What would make the temp gauge increase,
and the fans come on also, when the coolant is now remaining steady in the
reservoir?
